The End House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349205729)

They bought 631 Chautauqua Street to flip it fast, make a profit, and move on.

For Ryan and Kayla Smith, the old end-row house in Pittsburgh's North Side was supposed to be another rough property with cosmetic problems, bad wiring, and hidden repair costs-not a place that felt wrong the second they stepped through the front door. The air inside is heavy. The rooms feel occupied. Sounds travel strangely through the walls. And before they make it through the first night, the house erupts into violent, impossible chaos.

Doors slam on their own. Footsteps race through empty halls. Objects are thrown without warning. Whispers crawl through the dark calling them by name.

Desperate for answers, they bring in Matt Dorsey, a young local ghost hunter and urban explorer, along with his friends Tyler Keegan, Brandon Velez, and Jenna Rollins. What begins as an investigation quickly becomes a nightmare. Their cameras capture figures standing in rooms no one entered. Their recorders pull in disturbing EVPs filled with pleading, screaming, threats, and fragments of brutal deaths. As the group digs deeper, they uncover the history of the row: over the last twelve years, the connected houses at the end of the block have claimed eleven victims through murder, overdose, suicide, accident, and a lonely death that left something behind.

But the dead inside The End House are not at peace.

Some are furious. Some are confused. Some are trapped in the final moments of their suffering, replaying over and over until they barely resemble the people they once were. And the worst discovery of all is this: the house is not only replaying the deaths of the past. It is beginning to record deaths that have not happened yet.

Theirs.

As sleep deprivation, terror, bruises, lost time, and increasingly violent hauntings grind the group down night after night, the evidence turns prophetic, the attacks become more physical, and the row itself begins to open in ways it never should. By the time they understand what the house truly is, escape may no longer mean survival-and survival may not mean escape.
