A guy moved into a cheap rented apartment after the army and encountered a poltergeist: falling objects, a lock that blocks itself, nighttime awakenings. Neighbors said an old woman used to live here who didn't want new tenants, and recently someone photographed the author's girlfriend while she slept.
