Strange happenings in a New York apartment
Charlie Howard shares her experience of moving into a Brooklyn apartment in a rough neighborhood. She notices odd occurrences like an eerie figure in her peripheral vision and nightly banging noises that seem to move across the wall. Previous tenants had also experienced paranormal activity, including objects being thrown and a handprint appearing on a steamy mirror. The apartment feels increasingly hostile, with scratch marks on the door and two large mirrors mysteriously shattering.
Investigating the supernatural
Charlie seeks answers by visiting a witch shop, where she meets an eccentric who suggests she may be dealing with a demon. They perform a candle and sage ritual to cleanse the apartment, which results in strange phenomena like purple flames and objects being thrown. The disturbances continue, and Charlie connects the haunting to her feelings of vulnerability as a young woman and her exposure to negative behavior in her modeling career.
