Unable To Ignore It
Amy Williams could not ignore it anymore. Her daughter had complained of a strange sound coming from the walls for weeks.
The strange sounds first appeared in her imagination, but she finally heard them one night. The next night, Amy decided to remove the wall from the garage with a hammer, but she made a frightening discovery in the process.
Noises
Amy Williams thought Lily's screaming in her walls was nothing to be worried about when she began complaining about them.
When she was her daughter's age, she was afraid of the rest of the world. The sound finally reached her one night. The night began as usual. After tucking Lily into bed, Amy prepared an easy dinner. A few hours later, the strange sounds finally became apparent to her.
Hearing It Again
An odd sound suddenly interrupted Amy's reading of a book she was slowly working through in bed.
A frown spread across her face as she paused and placed the book next to her bed. In an effort to hear better, Amy sat up. An echoing scratching sound echoed down the hall. “What on earth?” she sighed. It was a discovery she didn't expect.
Hearing Her Scream
There was no immediate movement from Amy. As far as she was concerned, it wasn't a big deal. Her first assumption was that it was the sound of pipes creaking.
Once again, she reached for her book, oblivious to the strange noises. A sudden sound startled her as she did so. She jumped out of bed at the sound of Lily screaming. “Mommy!” Lily screamed. How did things turn out?
Please Help
Amy wasted no time getting started. The second her daughter called for her, she threw her book to the ground and ran for the door to her bedroom.
“Mommy, help!” Lily yelled. A rush of adrenaline filled Amy's chest as she bolted down the hall. As soon as she walked through the door to Lily's bedroom, she was in front of it. After opening the bedroom door and flicking the light switch, Amy was astonished by what she saw.
All Alone
When she entered her daughter's bedroom, she was shocked to see her sitting alone in her bed.
Seeing her mother, Lily's cheeks were painted with tears. “What’s going on, honey?” Amy asked, walking toward her bed. Lily pointed at the wall in her daughter's room instead of finding someone or something in her daughter's room.
Staying Quiet
“Mommy, I can hear the sound again. It’s right next to my pillow,” Lily cried, pointing at the wall beside her bed.
She sat beside her daughter, about to reassure her that everything would be alright, but when she sat down, she heard her daughter say, it sounded like something was moving through the wall. However, it was the sound of someone or something whispering that really got her attention.
Things Were Complicated
Amy Williams' life had been difficult and complicated in no small part due to her family background. As a single mother raising a daughter on her own at 26, she was only 26 years old.
A hopeless romantic from Houston, Texas, Amy dreamed of meeting her prince charming and living happily ever after. The wrong man was attracted to her in her early twenties. Her world changed forever because of him.
A Strange Man
Laurence Gallup was the first person Amy would ever meet. Her stomach filled with butterflies the moment she laid eyes on him for the first time.
It was through a mutual friend that they met at the college. The handsome, tall, and dark man was exactly what she was looking for. Laurence walked over that night and introduced himself after noticing her staring.
A Kind Smile
The first time Amy spoke with him would never be forgotten. The smile on his face was kind and flirtatious, and she couldn't look away.
Their deepest fears, hopes, and dreams continued to be discussed side by side for the remainder of the evening. She was instantly attracted to Laurence, and she hoped that he felt the same way about her. His request for her number made her heart skip a beat.
Their Relationship
That was how their relationship started. That night, when Amy went home, she received a text from Laurence almost immediately.
He had texted to ask her out on their first date, and she agreed without giving it any extra thought. She wanted nothing more than to get to know him. They went out the following weekend, and Amy only fell more in love with him. She had no idea that he would break her heart just two years later.
Making It Official
Amy and Laurence made their relationship official in the fall, and to everyone around them, they seemed like the perfect couple.
They were both artistic, good-looking people with similar hobbies. They could talk for hours, and they often did. That fall, they fell in love, and Amy never wanted anyone other than Laurence by her side. But soon, the years passed.
Moving In Together
Amy and Laurence were together for a year before they decided to move in together. At the time, it seemed like the best decision.
Together, they moved into Laurence’s one-bedroom apartment and began the next phase of their lives together. For the first few months, everything seemed perfect. But just before they celebrated two years together, something unexpected happened.
A Pregnancy Test
Amy had been feeling under the weather for a few days when she decided to take a pregnancy test. She couldn’t believe her eyes when it came back as positive.
For the first time in her life, Amy felt a sense of terrible dread in the pit of her stomach. She wasn’t ready for a child. She didn’t know what to do, which was why she sat Laurence down that evening and told him the truth. She did not expect his reaction.
A Different Side
That night, she saw a different side of Laurence. As soon as she told him the unexpected news, his face twisted into an unfamiliar expression.
That night, they fought for hours. He blamed her while she begged for his support, but he refused to support her. Laurence never wanted to be a father, and when she said she wouldn’t give the baby up, he lost it. Everything ended that night.
A Terrible Night
That was the night Laurence left, and he made it clear that he was not coming back. That night, a part of Amy died.
Laurence wanted her to get rid of the baby, but she refused. His reaction was to walk out on her. She couldn’t believe it. That night, Amy was certain that Laurence would come to his senses and come back to her, but he never did.
Alone
Laurence never came back, and suddenly, Amy was left all alone with a baby in her belly. She had no idea where to go from there.
Amy was devastated. It felt like her entire world had come crumbling down around her. She moved out of his apartment and found a place of her own. As the months passed, Amy was a mess. Her heart was broken, and she was terrified of the future. But that changed the day she welcomed her daughter into the world.
Worth It
The second the nurses placed Lily in her arms, she felt a kind of love she’d never felt before. Suddenly, it was all worth it.
Amy loved her daughter the second she saw her. Suddenly, she felt calm as she lay in that hospital room. At that moment, she didn’t care that the baby’s father wasn’t there. All she cared about was the little girl in her arms.
Protecting Her
Right then and there, Amy promised to protect her daughter at all costs. She wanted Lily to be happy and healthy.
She took her daughter home the following day, and although she knew the next few years would be tough, she was up for the challenge. As the months passed, her love for her daughter only grew stronger. Time moved fast, but soon, she would be met by a terrifying experience.
Growing Up
As the years passed, Amy learned how to juggle life as a single mother. Lily was growing up fast, and she couldn’t be more proud.
A few years passed in the blink of an eye, and before Amy knew it, Lily was three years old and more adorable than ever before. Amy had done a good job raising her, but it was during that time that something strange began happening to her daughter.
A New House
Amy and Lily had just moved into a new house in the suburbs when Lily’s strange behavior began. It was unlike anything she had ever seen before.
For the past three years, Lily was more than happy to sleep in her own bedroom, away from her mother. But that changed just a few weeks after they moved into their new home. Amy had no reasonable explanation for it.
The Change
The change happened suddenly one night when Amy lifted her daughter into her arms and carried her into her room.
But as she did, she couldn’t help but notice the strange look of distress on her daughter’s face. Something was wrong. “What’s wrong, pumpkin?” she asked as she laid her daughter on the bed and sat beside her. But Lily said something strange.
She Was Scared
“I don’t want to sleep in this room, Mommy,” Lily said, looking up at her mother with sadness behind her eyes.
Amy was caught off guard. Her daughter was usually more than happy to sleep in her own pink sheets in her bedroom. “Well, why not?” she asked gently, knowing that something was bothering the little girl. But she wasn’t ready for her response.
An Explanation
Lily looked around herself like she was scared before turning to her mother. She leaned forward and said something Amy would never forget.
“Something keeps whispering to me through the wall,” she whispered like she thought someone was listening in on their conversation. Amy was caught off guard by what her daughter had said. What was she talking about? “Whispering? Whispering what?”
Whispers
But then, her daughter said something that terrified her. “They keep saying ‘shhh’ while I sleep, Mom,” Lily revealed.
Those words sent a chill down her spine. She had no idea what her daughter was talking about. Who was telling her to “shh”? “Honey, where are you hearing these sounds?” she asked. But when her daughter pointed at the wall beside her, she was truly confused.
Sleeping In Her Bed
That night, Lily begged her mother to let her sleep beside her. Amy was more than happy to let her sleep in her bed.
But she didn’t think there was anything to worry about. Although Lily had told a scary story, she was certain that Lily was imagining those sounds. The walls were thin, and she doubted that anything or anyone could live inside of them, whispering to her daughter.
No Idea
That night, Amy and Lily slept peacefully in the same bed, but Amy had no idea that this would soon become a nightly routine.
The same thing happened the following evening. When Amy tried to tuck her daughter into her own bed, Lily begged to sleep in her room once again. Amy was exhausted, and after a long day, all she wanted to do was read a book in bed and get some much-needed alone time.
Reassurance
“Honey, nothing is whispering to you through the wall. You need to sleep in your own bed,” she said gently.
But she could see the fear behind her daughter’s eyes. “But, Mommy. I can hear it moving in there all night long,” Lily said. But Amy didn’t listen. She was convinced that her daughter was hearing things that weren’t there. She had no idea how wrong she was.
Going To Bed
That night, she forced Lily to sleep in her own bedroom and decided to go to bed. But just minutes later, Lily began calling for her.
Amy sighed, rubbing at her tired eyes before returning to her daughter’s bedroom. But when she stopped inside, she was surprised to find Lily with tears in her eyes. “Mommy, I can hear it again. It’s making that same sound,” she said when Amy walked through the door.
Sticking Around
This time, Amy decided to stick around and hear the sounds for herself. She sat beside Lily on her bed, but she heard nothing.
Lily was frustrated. The sounds had stopped, and her mother couldn’t hear what she heard every single night. “I don’t hear anything, honey. There is nothing there. Just try to get some sleep,” Amy said and got up.
The Pattern
But this pattern continued for weeks. Each night, when Amy would try to tuck Lily into bed, she would tell her mother about the sounds.
But it didn’t make any sense to Amy. She couldn’t understand how something inside of the wall could be “whispering” to her daughter. Some nights, she would let Lily sleep beside her, but other nights, she made the little girl sleep in her own bed.
Everything Changed
For weeks, the same thing kept happening. Amy would listen out for the sound, but she never heard it.
She had no idea what Lily could possibly be hearing. But that all changed one casual evening. Amy had no idea what would happen. That night started like any other. Amy prepared a quick and easy meal for dinner before tucking Lily in. But a few hours later, she finally heard those strange sounds.
Reading
Amy was cozied up in bed, immersed in a captivating book she had been savoring, when she was startled by an unexpected sound.
With curiosity piqued, she gently set the book down and propped herself up to listen more intently. It was a strange scratching sound. "Hmm, what could that be?" she wondered aloud. Little did she know that she was about to make a terrifying discovery.
Lily Screamed
Amy remained still for a moment, dismissing the odd noises as just the creaking of pipes in the walls.
She reached for her book, trying to ignore the sounds, but then she was jolted by Lily's scream. Startled, she quickly emerged from under the covers. "Mommy!" Lily cried out. Amy was alarmed and wondered what was happening.
Going In
Amy didn't waste any time. The moment her daughter called for her, she threw her book to the floor and ran to her bedroom door.
“Mommy, help!” Lily yelled. Amy sprinted down the hall, her heart racing. Within seconds, she was in front of Lily’s bedroom door. Without hesitation, she pushed the bedroom door open and flicked the light switch, but she couldn't believe her eyes.
What’s Going On?
As soon as she stepped into her daughter’s bedroom, she was surprised to see the little girl sitting in her bed, all alone.
Tears painted Lily’s cheeks as she stared up at her mother. “What’s going on, honey?” Amy asked, walking toward her bed. She had expected to see someone or something in her daughter’s room, but all Lily did was point at the wall.
The Sounds
“Mommy, I can hear the sound again. It’s right next to my pillow,” Lily cried, pointing at the wall beside her bed.
Amy took a seat beside her daughter, about to reassure her that everything was fine, but as she sat down, she finally heard it. She could hear something moving through the wall. But what really got her was the sound of someone or something whispering.
She Couldn’t Ignore It
Amy Williams couldn’t ignore it any longer. For weeks, her daughter had been complaining about the strange sound in her walls.
At first, she thought it was just her imagination running wild, but one night, she finally heard the strange sounds. That night, Amy decided to grab a hammer from the garage and break the wall down, but she made a terrifying discovery.
Loud And Clear
Amy grabbed a hammer from the garage and decided to start breaking the wall down. She could finally hear the sounds loud and clear.
“Shhh,” she heard close to her daughter’s bed. Her hands shook as she used all of her force to break a hole in the wall. Lily stood in the doorway, watching with wide eyes as her mother tried to get to the bottom of the mystery.
A Few Attempts
It took a few attempts, but eventually, she was able to break a small hole in the wall. But at first, she couldn’t see anything unusual.
But the sounds had become a lot louder. She couldn’t believe what was happening. All along, Lily really was hearing something. It took a few minutes, but Amy managed to knock a bigger hole into the wall. But when she saw something move inside, her blood ran cold.
It Moved
At first, Amy had no idea what she was looking at. But that changed when the thing moved, revealing what it was.
Amy screamed at the top of her lungs and ran from the wall, grabbing her daughter as she fled from the room. She had to call someone for help. She and Lily were in danger, and she couldn’t handle it on her own. She decided to dial 911.
Calling 911
“911, what’s your emergency?” she heard a woman’s voice on the other end of the line as she closed herself and Lily in her bedroom.
“I need someone to come out and help me, please. There is an emergency,” she said, her voice shaking. But when the woman asked what was going on, Amy couldn’t believe the words that left her mouth. “There is a massive snake in my wall.”
Getting Help
Amy and Lily stayed inside her bedroom until someone arrived to help them. When Amy opened the front door, she led them straight to her daughter’s bedroom.
Lily remained in the safety of her mother’s bedroom. She was terrified of snakes and didn’t want to come near them. Amy watched in horror as the group of men worked in Lily’s room, trying to remove the snake from the wall.
The Snake
It was huge. The snake had been living there for a long time. All along, Lily had been hearing the sound of a snake through the wall.
The thought alone made Amy feel terrible. How could she not have believed her daughter sooner? Luckily, the men were able to remove the brown snake, and they were certain that there were no other snakes in the wall.
Everything Was Okay
In the following weeks, they were able to have the wall fixed, and little Lily was brave enough to sleep in her own room again. From that moment forward, Amy and Lily lived happily in their new home without any strange sounds inside of their walls.
Amy was excited to watch her daughter grow up and turn into a beautiful, bright young woman. In the end, they were happy.
