A haunted house turns memory into a weapon
We Used To Live Here | CreepCast
The story’s shifting house and fractured identities force a sustained choice between supernatural horror and psychological manipulation.
- 1Eve’s new home becomes an impossible maze where missing people, altered rooms, and broken timelines undermine her sense of reality.
- 2Thomas’s family recasts Eve as Abigail, using confinement, medication, and psychiatric explanations to make their version of events seem credible.
- 3The ending preserves both readings, while the novel expansion deepens the story’s links to House of Leaves and broader horror traditions.
Don't miss
After Eve is confined to a psychiatric ward, Thomas visits her as though she is Abigail and leaves a locket containing the only known photograph of Eve.
The brief
Marcus Clewer’s story begins with a family claiming Thomas grew up in Eve’s new house, then turns an awkward home tour into an invasion.
As Jenny disappears and the basement, attic, and hidden passages multiply, Eve must decide whether the family is manipulating her or the house is changing.
The turning point comes when Abigail’s journal and a violent chase lead the family to call Eve “Abby,” forcing her into their rewritten history.
After Eve’s arrest and confinement, Thomas visits the ward and leaves behind a locket whose photograph supports neither a fully supernatural nor fully psychological explanation.
The hosts compare the original Reddit story with its expanded novel, tracing added details, Morse code, annotations, and connections to House of Leaves.
