Narrative horror podcast In Another Room finally unlocks the basement — and the story of how the house began.

Wendy finally unlocks the basement door — the room she has been told never to enter, the room every spirit in the house has been pointing her toward. In 1873, Frank Smith is finishing construction on the grand mansion he has built as a gift for his beloved wife. She is traveling west to join him. She never arrives.

Wracked with grief and slowly losing his grip on reality, Frank begins seeing a shadowy woman flitting through the halls of his nearly-finished home — an apparition that will lead him, eventually, to commit a murder he does not understand and bury its evidence beneath the basement floor.

When Wendy digs in the same spot, more than a century later, she finds bones. And then she finds something that should not be possible.

A Violet Hour Media production.
