About this episode

When a strange, featureless figure begins appearing outside his window night after night, a terrified narrator initially assumes it’s some kind of cruel prank. But as the entity continues watching him with impossible persistence, he realizes the thing outside isn’t human—and may not even be confined by the glass separating them. As the creature’s hidden features begin pushing through its skin and the window itself starts to crack, the narrator discovers that some horrors don’t stay where they’re supposed to.
