Disclaimer. Horror Hill is a horror anthology podcast bringing you scary stories from all corners of the internet and beyond. As such, certain stories include content that some listeners might find offensive. Listener discretion is advised. Hello, listeners, and welcome back to Horror Hill. I'm your host, Eric Peabody. Tonight, I've got a story for you from Red Bad Andy, and it's called The Thirteenth Floor. Sylvia Brooks is like many of us. After a long day of work, she comes back to her apartment and tries to relax before she has to go back the next day. Since Sylvia walks to and from her job, it's convenient that her apartment building has an elevator up to her unit on the 16th floor. But after a particularly long shift, Sylvia sees something odd in the elevator, and is now haunted by visions of a tall, spectral figure coated in white dust, and it seems that others in the building are seeing it as well.

What is this menacing presence, and why is there suddenly a 13th floor in the building that comes and goes? Find out tonight on Horror Hill.

Sylvia Brooks was tired after a long day of work. She was a nurse at the Westview Hospital. Normal days were rough, but she had just worked a double shift and was even more exhausted than usual. Her shift had finally ended, and she was out the door. The cool night air clung to her like a damp shroud, and the streetlights flickered faintly as she walked home. She appreciated not having to worry about parking in such a normally busy city.

Living so close to work had its advantages. Westview was often still bustling at this hour, but tonight it felt abandoned, as though the world had retreated into the shadows. Her apartment building loomed ahead, its silhouette cutting sharply against the faint moonlight. She quickened her pace, anxious to get inside. She walked into the lobby of the Central Heights apartment building, passing by Ray, the doorman, and politely acknowledging his wave to her. She would normally stop and say hi, but she was very tired from the day and was anxious to get home for a bubble bath, a stiff drink, and maybe a TV show before she passed out. She walked toward the elevator and was already scrolling her phone for something light to watch while waiting for the long ride to the 16th floor.

She pressed the button and while she awaited the arrival of the elevator, she suddenly felt a weird sensation. The hair on her arms stood on end and she felt like she was being watched. Looking over her shoulder, she saw nothing. No one was waiting in the lobby, Ray was at a station reading a novel. It must have been nothing. Still, the feeling persisted, like fingers tracing her spine. The elevator arrived and she stepped on. She quickly pressed the number 16 and was scrolling TikTok for a few funny shorts to pass the time. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught something strange. A powdery white dust was on the floor near the elevator console. She checked herself to make sure she was not covered in something, but found no white dust on her person.

Then she looked closer and saw a strange chalk-like smudge on the console between the numbers 12 and 14. It was disturbingly cold when her hand hovered near the strange smudge. She stood a while, processing the odd sight, before the bell rang and the doors opened to her floor. She shrugged and stepped off.
