This is the chilling case of Juana Barraza, the Mexican wrestler who became La Mataviejitas—the “Little Old Lady Killer.”

The Marrow house lets go. The name is returned. And 13 Nights of Macabre reaches its final chapter.

She calls her name aloud, and the house finally answers. Rule Thirteen is written and the Hall begins to let go.

Midnight keeps. Two hallways overlap — one above, one below. And the house waits for her to ask by name.

A nursery waits beneath the house. A box of keys holds the truth. And one key bears her name — Sunshine, kept.

In 1950, a real babysitter’s desperate call for help became one of America’s most haunting unsolved murders — and the chilling inspiration for the legend of The Babysitter and the Man Upstairs.

A clear marble shows both halls as one. The whispers speak of the keys. And the house opens its throat to let her in.

A child’s hand reaches from the other hallway. A shadow follows. The line between sides begins to blur.

The house rearranges itself around her. The marbles roll home, and the children whisper an invitation she can’t unhear.

The baby monitor counts to thirteen. The mirror wakes. The house draws a boundary she cannot cross.

A photograph from her childhood reappears inside the house. The baby monitor whispers a rule she’s already broken.

She finds the ledger of the house’s thirteen rules, and her name already inside. The house keeps count, and midnight is coming.

A familiar voice calls from behind the red door. A marble rolls out with the hallway trapped inside it. The house has started to play back.

Sixteen-year-old Sylvia Likens was left in the care of Gertrude Baniszewski in 1965, where months of unthinkable abuse and torture led to her death in one of the most disturbing crimes in American history.

A whisper calls her “Sunshine,” and every picture frame begins to move. The Marrow house has a second rule.

Welcome to 13 Nights of Macabre, one haunting story told across thirteen nights. In Chapter 1: The Showing, a late-night cataloger enters the abandoned Marrow property to document what was left behind. But the walls remember. The frames whisper. And behind the red door at the end of the hall, something knows her name. A quiet inventory becomes a descent into the house’s strange rules, beginning with a single word that shouldn’t be possible: “Sunshine.” Tune in each night for the next chapter of 13 Nights of Macabre, written by E. L. Holloway and narrated by Alejandra Bendel. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
