The Hall: A Story about a Haunted House...or is it?

Dave was hoping to gain some insight into the unlocked door situation upstairs, but he hasn’t seen Tippi The Housekeeper around for hours. With Willow asleep and Eabha doing her usually Week-End Spa ritual - which must never, ever be interrupted!! - he decides to take matters into his own hands and begins to investigate.
What he finds upstairs is indeed peculiar. Contrary to Tippi's statement most of the doors aren’t locked at all. The third floor is a complete and utter disaster...

As a writer, Dave owns some camera equipment (a fairly nifty DSLR and tripod his father gifted to him two birthdays ago) which he often carries around on his research trips to capture reference images for his projects. He’s not entirely sure why, but he believes that tonight would be a good time to bring that gear upstairs and take as many shots as possible.
He captures gloomy, dusty and rather unsettling rooms. Some are bare, some are used for junk and storage. It feels as if these rooms are strangely aware of Dave’s presence; their dark corners and the cracks and shadows on their walls seem to judge his very existence...

In the adjoining room he discovers a large, wooden crate which - much to his relief - also turns out to be empty... Surely this thing could fit a man his own size...

At that moment Dave's camera stops working. It’s a given, in a house like this, with rooms like these... There are a couple more areas to explore so he pursues the investigation without the gear for now.
And the door next door, too... https://i.ibb.co/L8R5RBt/08-The-Door02.jpg
And The Hall watches...

Meanwhile...
Week-End Spa rituals tend to make Eabha feel flirty and so she spends the rest of the evening behind that lovely vanity table in the vacant Master Bedroom adjacent to theirs. She has plenty of things in store for her man later on...
