The Woman in Every Photo

Warning. I found something in my grandmother's attic that made my blood run cold.

An old photo album from 1952. Every picture showed my family at different ages,

living normal lives. But in the background of each photo, there was always the same figure.

A woman in a black dress, watching. I showed my mom and she went pale.

That woman died in our house in 1951. She was never supposed to be in those photos.

We burned the album that night, but sometimes I still see her standing in doorways,

just watching and waiting.
