Show Notes
A quiet babysitting shift turns into a night of escalating dread when four‑year‑old Sam begins drawing a figure he calls the Tall Man - a faceless shape waiting “for the clicks.”
As rain lashes the windows and the house settles into its cavernous nighttime silence, soft taps begin at the sliding doors. Then heavy knocks at the front door. And then the unmistakable sound of window latches being turned, one by one, from the outside.
But the most disturbing detail isn’t the intruder’s tools or his escape into the woods. It’s Sam’s final drawing: the bedroom they hid in…
For listeners who love grounded horror, home‑invasion dread, and stories where the real monster is human, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating terror that lingers long after the rain stops.
Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
