Aterrados -

Three paranormal specialists—Mora, Jano, and Rosentock—along with a skeptical police commissioner named Funes, moved into the three affected houses to find the source. They discovered that these "monsters" weren't ghosts in the traditional sense. They were entities from a parallel dimension that overlaps with our own, visible only from specific angles or through the "infection" of the neighborhood's water.

Crucially, Rugna subverts the trope of the haunted house by presenting the haunting as an environmental condition, not a ghostly presence. In Aterrados , the dead do not simply return; they occupy space in a way that distorts geometry itself. A corpse that disappears and reappears in drains, a bathroom that exists in a perpetual state of wet decay, and the infamous scene of a dead boy staring from a closet—these are not manifestations of a vengeful spirit with a backstory. They are symptoms of a broken reality. When the researchers attempt to combat the phenomena using science and technology (cameras, tape recorders, EMF readers), their equipment fails not because the ghost is powerful, but because the rules have changed. Water flows upward. Knives fly. A hammer left on a table will, inexplicably, be found nailed into the wall. This is Lovecraftian cosmic horror stripped of the tentacles: the horror of a universe where causality is a lie.
