After Old Man’s Death, Son Returns to His House and Hears Sounds from Abandoned Garage — Story of the Day
A year after his father’s death, a man returns to sell his father’s home. But things take an unexpected turn when he hears a strange noise coming from the garage and discovers something startling inside.
Joseph Sutton was in a bind as he gazed around his father’s house in Nashville, Tennessee. He had traveled all the way to sell it, but something made his decision flinch as he looked around the house that held all of his boyhood memories.
When Joseph’s mother died of cancer three years before, his father was left feeling very lonely and depressed, so he brought Mr. Sutton to New York to stay with him and his wife. However, one year later, the older man passed away due to a heart attack.

He opened the back door and looked around for the source of the noise, but there was no one in sight. He went back to the living room, believing it was just his hunch, but then he heard a huge crash from the garage.
“Is anyone there? Why don’t you answer?” he yelled as he stormed out of the house, only to find the garage store slightly open.
