The Knock at the Door: A Haunting in Florence
This true story follows four study-abroad students who rented a historic apartment along the Arno River, only to discover something was already living there. From unexplained footsteps and flickering lights to a chilling knock in the dark with no one on the other side, this haunting builds one eerie moment at a time. Set in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, The Knock at the Door explores the terrifying edge between old-world charm and something much older that never left.
This episode is based on a true story shared by a study-abroad student in Florence, Italy. The original account was posted anonymously on Reddit in the r/Paranormal and r/creepy subreddits between 2018 and 2021, and has since been widely reshared across forums and expat communities.
