Just before sunrise, a trembling voice reached the local police dispatcher. An elderly woman insisted something was alive inside her sofa. “It’s scratching and moving,” she whispered.
“Not the pipes, not the wind—inside the couch.” Officers arrived at the small suburban home to find the couple waiting in their living room, the air thick with fear.
