The Haunting of Belavere

The Haunting of Belavere" by Alex Sterling is an audio drama that follows Stephen, who inherits the ancient, reputedly haunted mansion known as Belavere. Upon his arrival at an overbooked motel, he learns of Belavere's ghostly reputation and decides to visit. At the mansion, Stephen is met with supernatural phenomena: shifting portraits, eerie noises, and the terrifying apparition of a headless woman. Driven by a family story of a past brutal murder, he encounters the ghost's head, which he throws out in a bid to end the haunting. Escaping the mansion, Stephen finds himself bizarrely back at the motel, blurring the lines between reality and the supernatural. Later, he meets the ghost of Elizabeth outside, helping her find closure by suggesting she move on from her search for her lost love. As dawn breaks, Stephen reflects on his transformative night, leaving with more than just an inheritance—a story of supernatural encounters and perhaps some peace for Belavere's restless spirits. However, the narrative leaves open the question of whether these spirits have truly found rest or merely await another soul to listen to their stories, maintaining the mansion's eerie allure.
