The Dining Room Chair: A Nine Little Hauntings Exclusive
✨ Nine Little Hauntings ✨
A series from The Hollow—brief encounters with the uncanny, where the ordinary twists and the quiet lingers a little too long.
“Every house keeps a place for the ones who never left.”
Every morning, Helen set out three chairs at the table with place settings for each. Though she lived alone this was a habit developed over many years. One for herself, and two for guests that never came to visit.
One day, she noticed one chair slightly pulled back, as if someone had sat there and tucked it back in a hurry.
She never saw anyone, but every night after that day, the chair creaked, slowly, as though a weight sat upon it, and rocked slightly back before settling into place on its own.
Every seat has its weight. Listen closely—the hallways are next.
