Every night at exactly 1:12 AM, Daniel noticed the same apartment window light up across the street in Chicago<\/span><\/span>. A woman dressed in white would stand perfectly still beside the curtains for exactly five minutes before the light shut off again.<\/p>\n At first, he thought nothing of it.<\/p>\n But after weeks, curiosity consumed him.<\/p>\n One stormy night, the woman suddenly waved at him.<\/p>\n Daniel froze.<\/p>\n He had never waved first.<\/p>\n The next evening, he watched again. This time, the woman pointed downward toward the street.<\/p>\n Confused, Daniel went outside.<\/p>\n Rain poured heavily as he crossed the road toward the apartment building. The front door was locked, but an elderly janitor noticed where he was staring and quietly said:<\/p>\n \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t go in there.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel asked why.<\/p>\n The janitor\u2019s face turned pale.<\/p>\n \u201cThat apartment has been empty for three years.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel laughed nervously and insisted someone was clearly living there.<\/p>\n Without another word, the janitor led him upstairs.<\/p>\n Apartment 7B smelled like dust and mold. Furniture was covered in sheets. No electricity. No signs of life.<\/p>\n Then Daniel noticed the bedroom window.<\/p>\n From inside the room, he could see directly into his own apartment across the street.<\/p>\n On the dirty floor beneath the window sat dozens of photographs.<\/p>\n All of them were pictures of Daniel sleeping.<\/p>\n The final photo was taken earlier that night.<\/p>\n And in the picture, someone was standing behind him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Window Across the Street Every night at exactly 1:12 AM, Daniel noticed the same apartment window light up across the street in Chicago.
