We Are Happy: My Uninvited Guest

I came home one evening to find my keys on the kitchen counter and my slippers arranged like a message. By the time I hid a camera, the footage showed someone who looked exactly like me, living my life, smoothing my comforter, and leaving a strand of dark hair on my shoes. I’m terrified, and I need you to hear this.

For six months my apartment has been subtly rearranged. Small, intimate intrusions at first. A strand of hair that wasn’t mine. A hidden nanny cam that captured a version of me walking in and acting like she belongs.

I’m not sure whether I’m being gaslit, stalked, or haunted, but I’m done staying silent.

This is a story about identity, invasion, and the uncanny terror of being replaced in your own life.

If you like tense, intimate horror that blends psychological dread with uncanny phenomena, doppelgängers, domestic hauntings, and the slow erosion of safety, press play.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
