The Innocents (1961) remains one of the most disturbing ghost films ever made. Nothing leaps. Nothing screams. But every glance, silence, and shadow suggest something is terribly wrong.
Watch it with the lights low. Listen carefully.

“No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality.”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
The house isn’t mad. The people are. And sometimes… the house listens.

In 1856, a ghost was reportedly seen during the building of the Houses of Parliament. A worker claimed a grey figure watched him in silence — just before a wall collapsed.
