Day 1,793

You can only see her when a door is cracked open slightly, soon as it opens enough for a head to fit though - she's gone. There aren't too many theories about how she came to be or who she is because her body was found some fifty odd years ago.

She'd been trying to get back into her house after forgetting her key. Her kid was still inside, screaming for his mummy and causing absolute chaos while she tried to break the door down. Somehow the kid had managed to put the chain across just as she'd gotten her head through, leaving her stuck and gradually choking.

We don't know why she appears all over town but we've seen her enough times to know she's mostly harmless. The only thing that seems to set her off is children crying, makes her go absolutely batshit and claw at your door until you open it enough for her to see that the child isn't hers.

I wonder if she shows up at every door because she's trying to find him, not that she would. He was taken to his grandparent's place in the town over and hasn't come near his childhood home once. Maybe if he did, she'd see that he's fine and leave but until then we're stuck glimpsing her bloated and contorted face whenever we open a door.
