The Aftermath
"To this day I can't look inside the vents in houses," Grady wrote. "But sometimes when I'm at someone's house I'll smell a little BO coming from their central air conditioning, and I'll wonder who’s living back there in their ducts. Who's living in the dark?"

Grady's story was enough to creep out thousands of people on the internet who had come across his spooky story right in time for Halloween. Evidently, the experience was gruesome enough to turn Grady into the horror author he is today. Don't forget to check your vents tonight—you never know what's really in there.
