Ever since they were little, the protagonist has been able to see some kind of entity, a ghost, wandering around their house, always close to them and even sometimes they would catch glimpses of it watching them. At first, it was terrifying, but with time they learned to ignore it, since it really didn’t do anything except stand around. Although they never understood why nobody else could see it. Eventually, they move out on their own and stop seeing the apparition, so they assume it was just on their old house. One ordinary day, the protagonist is at their new house and suddenly all the lights go out; assuming it’s a blackout they look out the window but every other house has the lights on. They try to get out of the house but all the doors are jammed shut and won’t open. The air gets cold and somehow they can feel some kind of presence there with them. After several minutes, the lights turn back on, the doors unlock, and everything seems normal. Scared, they hire a psychic to inspect the house. The psychic tells them that it is the same spirit that haunted them when they were little, but that they should not worry, it is trying to protect them. Although they can’t determine if it’s from another supernatural being, or from someone who is still alive.
