The Letter Arrived 100 Years Late

It was postmarked from a town that doesn’t exist anymore.

By GoldenSpeechPublished 12 months ago • 1 min read

Emily received an envelope addressed to her great-grandmother, written in perfect cursive, dated October 24, 1925.

The letter read:

“They’ve almost found the way through. Keep the door locked until 2025.”

Confused, Emily posted it online — until she noticed the return address: Hallow Creek, a mining town destroyed by fire in 1932.

At exactly midnight, her lights dimmed. The old door in her basement — one she’d never been able to open — started knocking from the inside.

When police investigated, the house was empty. On the wall, someone had written in charcoal:

“The door’s open now.”
