The Corpse in the Cellar

🪦🔒 THE CORPSE IN THE CELLAR 🔒🪦
The house was supposed to be empty.
So why is there someone already dead inside it?

When Alice Greaves, a newly divorced archivist, inherits her grandfather’s crumbling countryside home, she sees it as a chance to start over. No distractions. No noise. Just boxes of old records to sort and a cellar full of untouched history.
But on the third day, she finds a door behind a bookshelf.
And behind that door, a corpse—sitting upright in a rotting armchair, eyes sewn shut, jaw wired open… as if mid-scream. 🕯️🩸🚪

There’s no name.
No sign of forced entry.
And worst of all…
No record of anyone ever going missing.

📜 THE BODY ISN’T JUST DEAD.
IT’S PRESERVED.

Alice contacts the police. They take the corpse.
But that night, the cellar door creaks open again.
The same stench returns.
And now there are footsteps on the stairs at 3:33 AM—even though she’s the only one living in the house.
Or so she thought. 👁️📻⚰️

As Alice investigates the home's chilling past, she uncovers:
— A sealed family journal with pages torn out.
— Old photographs of a boy no one will name.
— And letters from her grandfather, begging someone not to go into the cellar.

But she already did.
And now the corpse…
isn’t where they left it.

🕷️ SOME DOORS SHOULDN’T BE OPENED.
SOME DEAD DON’T STAY STILL.

As the haunting escalates, Alice realizes the body in the cellar was never forgotten—it was hidden.
And it wasn’t just placed there.
It was meant to be found.
Because the truth isn’t in the walls.
It’s under them.

🕸️ The Corpse in the Cellar is a slow-burning horror mystery about inherited guilt, buried history, and the terrifying realization that some family secrets don’t rot — they wait.
Perfect for fans of The Taking of Deborah Logan, Shirley Jackson, and The Others.

It’s not just a body.
It’s a message.
And now you’re part of it. 🔦🪦🩸
