In the flickering lamplight, fleeting shadows dart across the corners of vision, leaving a chill that lingers long after dawn, reminding those who dare to dream here that some echoes are better left unheard.

In the heart of Joao Pessoa, the Pousada do Caju stands like a weary sentinel of secrets long buried, its faded facade whispering tales of those who never truly checked out.

With every creak of the wooden floorboards and the chilling sensation of unseen hands brushing against their skin, they are reminded that in this sanctuary, the line between the living and the departed is as gossamer thin as the silk curtains blowing in the night breeze.
