About this listen

She wanted a new start.
The house had other plans.

Heartbroken and desperate to disappear, Lisa leaves her old life behind and moves to a remote house on the edge of the country, part of what was once an Elizabethan manor, steeped in local whispers and unfinished business.

Her nearest neighbour is Peggy, an isolated woman crippled by grief after the death of her troubled daughter, Rose. The estate agent assures Lisa the past is firmly in the past.

It isn’t.

Soon after moving in, Lisa discovers a diary hidden in the house. Through Rose’s own words, a disturbing story unfolds, one of obsession, revenge, and a capacity for violence that grows darker with every page.

Then the house begins to change.

Strange noises. Unexplained movements. A growing sense that Lisa is not alone.

As fear tightens its grip, Lisa becomes convinced the house is haunted. A séance seems to confirm it. But the truth, when it comes, is far more terrifying than any ghost.

The New Start is a psychological thriller with supernatural elements, told through dual timelines and diary entries, exploring grief, obsession, revenge, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.

Dark, unsettling, and quietly brutal, this is a story about how the past never stays buried…
