Tom

 My aunt told me about this experience when I asked about the name "Tom" that was scratched into the concrete floor at the bottom of the concrete stairs.

She had become a bit nervous. But with an uncomfortable laugh, she informed me that Tom had been the house's previous owner. Apparently, he also died in the house.

Then she went on to tell me when she had met him.

She was certain she was in a dream, because she had gone to sleep, but then she was suddenly looking around her room.

Before she could pass out, he vanished just as suddenly as he had appeared.
