The Recommended Tab

Every day, we scroll through endless video recommendations—thumbnails promising the mundane, the bizarre, the unsettling. In 'The Recommended Tab,' Luna explores what happens when those algorithmic suggestions turn predatory. Each episode is a self-contained story about a person who clicks on a video they shouldn't have: a livestream from an empty nursery, a repair tutorial for a device that doesn't exist, a vlog from a town that was demolished decades ago. The videos are always ordinary at first, but the comments are frozen, the view count never changes, and by the end, the viewer realizes they've been watching something that was watching them back. Luna's voice—low, close, as if she's sitting beside you in the dark—guides these tales of digital obsession, platform glitches that aren't glitches, and the quiet horror of being seen by an audience that isn't human. Some stories are about loss, others about addiction, but all of them share the same unshakable question: when you log off, does the video log off too?

The Unwatched Video of the Attic on Miller Road

Jul 30, 2026 · 6:05

Luna stumbles on a grainy thumbnail of a dusty attic staircase. The video is from 2009, but the comments are still updating. A woman named Mia explores a condemned house on Miller Road, finds a locked trunk, and reads letters addressed to her from the future. When the video ends, the live comment count jumps by one. Luna refreshes and sees her own name. Then she notices a red dot in the corner of her own living room—one she didn't place there. Slow-burn horror about the boundary between…

The Unwatched Photographs of the Waiting Room on Pigeon Creek Road

Jul 28, 2026 · 6:55

It's just after midnight in January, three years ago, at a Greyhound station in central Missouri. The waiting room is empty except for a woman named Margot and her camera. She takes thirty-seven photographs over the course of the night—each one from a slightly different angle, each one showing the same empty chairs, the same buzzing fluorescent light, the same clock ticking toward dawn. But when you lay the photos side by side, the shadows don't match the light source. The clock hands move…

The Unwatched Review of the Roadside Chapel on Parson's Road

Jul 26, 2026 · 5:32

Three in the morning and my phone glows with a thumbnail of a small white chapel set back from a gravel road. Parson's Road, Greene County, New York. The review from a user named AloneAgain is only five months old but the listing is already gone. He says he stayed three nights. The hostess, a woman named Margaret, never ate, never slept, and kept the basement door locked. He heard footsteps from below, and on the last night the door was ajar, revealing not a basement but a corridor stretching…

The Unwatched Review of the Waverly Motel on Cypress Drive

Jul 25, 2026 · 8:05

It's two in the morning, and Luna is scrolling through the recommended tab when a thumbnail stops her cold: a motel room, cheap lamp, beige walls, and a man sitting on the edge of the bed. Title: 'Honest Review of the Waverly Motel on Cypress Drive.' She clicks. Elliot is just a guy reviewing a room—until he tries the door and it won't budge. The window shows brick. The phone line is dead. And the camera keeps rolling. Luna watches the whole thing, from casual complaint to quiet terror. She…

The Unwatched Footage of the Barn on Old Mill Road

Jul 23, 2026 · 6:31

October 2023. A dirt road outside a town called Stillwater. Luna's cousin sent her a video file from a property he was asked to photograph—a barn at the end of Old Mill Road, scheduled for demolition. The video is sixteen minutes long. Most of it is just the barn, empty, dust motes in the light. But at the twelve-minute mark, the camera catches something in the hayloft—a shape that shouldn't be there, a sound that makes the footage skip. By the time her cousin checked the file again, the shape…

The Unwatched Review of the Lavender House on Birch Road

Jul 22, 2026 · 6:39

It was the summer I housesat for my aunt on Birch Road. The houses in that part of town are old—Victorian, with wraparound porches and names instead of numbers. The Lavender House was three doors down, always empty, always for sale. One night I walked past and saw a light on in the upstairs window. Not a lamp—a candle. I called the realtor the next morning. She said no one had shown the house in months. That night I went back. The candle was still burning, and the front door was unlocked. I…

The Unwatched Footage of the Dance Hall on Woodburn Road

Jul 21, 2026 · 7:10

Luna recounts a cold October night in 2019 when a friend's obsession with a single thumbnail on a rental listing site led them to an abandoned dance hall outside Bellbrook, Ohio. The thumbnail showed a dark room with a single hanging bulb and a shadow that seemed to lean forward. What they found inside—and what they filmed—changed how she watches videos of empty rooms forever. A story about the weight of overlooked spaces, and the shape that waits in the corner of old footage. #FexingoHorror…

The Girl Who Checked the Motel Six Times on Old Ridge Road

Jul 20, 2026 · 7:32

In the summer of 2019, a woman named Kara checked into the Sunset Motel on Old Ridge Road six times in one month. Each time, she requested Room 14. Each time, she left before dawn without checking out. The clerk, a man named Pete, started noticing things—the way her key card was always left on the nightstand, the way the TV was always tuned to static, the way the bathroom mirror was always fogged when she left, even though she never turned on the shower. When Pete finally confronted her on the…

The Unwatched Footage of the Last House on Ponderosa Road

Jul 19, 2026 · 7:28

Luna scrolls past a thumbnail she has seen before—a dark room, a single door ajar, no review attached. But tonight she opens it. The footage is six hours long, shot on an old camcorder by a woman named Eleanor, who documented her own house every night for a month before she vanished. The camera sits on a table in her kitchen, aimed at the hallway. At first nothing happens. Then the time stamps start to whisper. Luna watches until the sun comes up, and the last frame makes her close the laptop.…

The Unwatched Video of the Motel on Old Ridge Road

Jul 18, 2026 · 5:57

It was the last week of October, the year the leaves fell early and the heat stayed on past midnight. I drove to the Shady Grove Motel on Old Ridge Road because a friend of a friend said the place had a room that didn't exist on any map. The manager was a man named Cray who never blinked. He gave me the key to Room 13 and told me not to watch the television after 2:47 a.m. I watched. And I saw what happens when a room remembers every guest who ever died in it. The video wasn't a recording. It…

The Unwatched Review of the Drive-In on Harvest Road

Jul 17, 2026 · 5:07

A memory from the summer of 2017, in the small town of Millbrook. Luna revisits the abandoned Harvest Road Drive-In, a place where her older brother Billy used to take her before he left for college. The screen still stands, but the projection booth is boarded up. She goes alone one August night, sits in the front row of the empty lot, and watches something that was never scheduled to play. A home movie. A birthday party. A funeral. All on the same loop. By the end, she's not sure she was the…

The Unwatched Review of the Sunfish Motel on County Line Road

Jul 16, 2026 · 7:45

Luna can't stop thinking about a review she found buried in the archives of a travel site—three paragraphs about a motel in Linder, Nebraska, that shouldn't exist. The reviewer claimed the Sunfish Motel had no windows facing the parking lot, only doors that opened onto a long dark hallway. They said the room key came attached to a brass fish that looked like it was smiling wrong. Luna tracked down the reviewer's old email address and wrote to them. What she got back was not a reply. It was a…

The Unwatched Thumbnail of the House on Elmwood Lane

Jul 15, 2026 · 6:47

Luna recounts a night in late October when a single thumbnail kept appearing in her recommended feed—a dark room with a single lit window. She clicked, she watched, and then she couldn't stop. The video was a live feed of a house she'd never seen, but the footage felt like it knew she was watching. By the time she figured out where it was, it was too late to look away. Set on Elmwood Lane in Millbrook, New York, at 3:17 AM during a full moon, this episode is about the moment you realize you're…

The Unwatched Footage of the Church on Wisteria Lane

Jul 14, 2026 · 6:44

Luna recounts a night in late October when a thumbnail on a shared drive led her to a single, silent video—forty-seven minutes of a church interior on Wisteria Lane in Ashburn, Pennsylvania. The footage was time-stamped three years ago, the camera placed in the back pew. Nothing happened for the first half hour. Then the door opened. Not the front door, but the door to the basement stairs, and someone came up. Luna watched it three times before she noticed the thing in the corner of the frame…

The Unwatched Thumbnail of the Dark Room on Old Ridge Road

Jul 13, 2026 · 8:37

Luna receives a late-night email from a stranger named Cora, who claims her grandmother's house on Old Ridge Road has been appearing in a stream of thumbnails on Luna's recommended feed. Each thumbnail shows a different angle of a dark room — her grandmother's sewing room — but Cora says the room has been sealed and locked for ten years. Luna agrees to look at the videos. What she finds in the footage is a figure sitting in a chair that should be empty, a door that opens when no one is there…

The Unwatched Review of the Saltbox on Hemlock Lane

Jul 12, 2026 · 9:41

It’s the summer of 2004, and a rental house on a dead-end road in northern Minnesota has been listed as a vacation property for years—but no one has ever stayed there. The agent who sent Luna the listing said the owner requests a review after every visit, yet the house’s guestbook is empty. Luna goes up to Hemlock Lane alone, expecting a quiet weekend of writing. What she finds is a house that seems to expect her, a room that breathes, and a door she should never have opened. This episode is a…

The Unwatched Footage from the Root Cellar on Sycamore Lane

Jul 11, 2026 · 7:15

In the summer of 2022, a woman named Elise inherited a farmhouse on Sycamore Lane, north of a town called Harwick. The house had been empty for twelve years. Her uncle left her the property, and she went alone to clear it out before selling. The root cellar was the last place she looked — a concrete room under the kitchen, accessed by a hatch in the pantry floor. There was a VHS tape on the shelf, labelled '1991' in her uncle's handwriting. She watched it that night, alone in the house, and…

The Unwatched Review of the A-Frame on Larkspur Lane

Jul 10, 2026 · 7:50

When a young couple rents an isolated A-frame cabin in the Catskills for a winter weekend, they find a wooden box under the floorboards filled with handwritten reviews of the property—none of them by guests who ever left. Each review is a confession. Each mentions a different room, a different season, a different kind of silence. The last entry is dated the day they arrived, written in the same ink as their own grocery list. Luna unravels a vacation rental that never returns its visitors in…

The Unwatched Thumbnail of the Shuttered Funeral Home on Lilac Avenue

Jul 9, 2026 · 7:50

It started as a late-night rabbit hole. I was scrolling the recommended tab — a hundred thumbnails of abandoned places I'd never visit. But one kept surfacing, a different angle of the same dark room, and I couldn't stop watching. This is the story of the kindest man I never met, the last body he prepared, and the photograph that made me turn off my phone at 3 a.m. It happened in Millbrook, New York, in the winter of 2019, in a funeral home that had been closed for three years. The footage was…

The Unwatched Video of the Silo House on Meridian Road

Jul 8, 2026 · 7:20

Luna recounts a cold November night in 2022, when she pulled off Meridian Road outside of Tolland, Connecticut, after her GPS rerouted her down an unmarked gravel lane. She found a converted silo — a round two-story house with a single light on in the upper window. Through the window she saw a man sitting at a table, watching a stack of VHS tapes on a small CRT TV. She watched for forty minutes as he rewound and replayed the same tape over and over. When he finally stood and walked to the…

The Unwatched Review of the Windmill Inn on County Road 8

Jul 7, 2026 · 5:57

A cold March night on County Road 8, the Windmill Inn standing alone beside a frozen cornfield. Luna booked a room on a whim, drawn by a single review online — three stars, no text, just a photo of the hallway door left slightly ajar. The innkeeper wore a sweater with the sleeves pulled over his hands. The room was clean. The heat worked. But the door at the end of the second-floor hall — the one that didn't match the others, painted the color of old bone — stayed on her mind. This is a story…

The Unwatched Review of the White Horse Inn on Route 17

Jul 6, 2026 · 6:08

It was mid-October, and I was driving home along Route 17 through Millbrook, a town that seems to exist only as a smear of gas stations and diners in the rearview mirror. I stopped at the White Horse Inn, a motel I'd seen a hundred times but never entered. The lobby was stale and dim, the clerk a man named Arthur who moved as if underwater. He gave me room 17 without asking how long I was staying. That night, I found a thin red notebook in the bedside drawer, its pages filled with a single…

The Recurring Thumbnail on Garnet Street

Jul 5, 2026 · 6:10

Luna scrolls through a recommended video feed and keeps seeing the same thumbnail: a dimly lit bedroom with an open closet door. The listing says the video is from a real estate walkthrough of a house on Garnet Street in Denton, Ohio, uploaded three years ago. But no matter how many times she refreshes, the same thumbnail appears, always with the same view count, always with the closet door open a little wider. She clicks. The video is fifteen minutes of slow panning through empty rooms, but…

The Review of the Denton House on Garnet Street

Jul 4, 2026 · 7:01

In a small Nebraska town, Luna stumbles on an old review of a bed-and-breakfast—the Denton House on Garnet Street—that was never posted. The reviewer describes a single night in late October 2017: a locked room, a wallpaper pattern that shifted when the lights went out, and a voice that spoke through the wall in her own childhood lullaby. Luna can't stop thinking about it, so she drives to Garnet to see the house for herself. The porch light is still on. The door is unlocked. This episode is…

The Unwatched Video at the Pine Crest Motel

Jul 3, 2026 · 7:37

It was the third week of January, the coldest night of the year so far, and I was stuck at the Pine Crest Motel off Route 17 outside a town called Millbrook. The heater rattled, the parking lot was empty except for my car and a single rusted pickup, and the Wi-Fi was so slow I couldn't even load a map. But the motel had an old DVD player in the room, and in the nightstand drawer, someone had left a single unmarked disc. No label. No case. Just the disc in a paper sleeve. I should have left it…

The Unwatched Video in the Lost-and-Found Box

Jul 2, 2026 · 9:00

A grey thumb drive found in a high school lost-and-found box. One video file, no label. The timestamp places it at 3:17 AM on a Tuesday in late November 2017, months after the school was supposedly empty for a snow day. Luna found it while subbing at Millbrook High, and she watched it alone in the AV room. The video shows a classroom—room 204—lit only by a projector screen displaying a single word. The camera is propped on a desk, angled toward the door. Someone is breathing off-screen. Not…

The Unwatched Video on the Fire Watch Tower Road

Jul 1, 2026 · 5:53

A fire watch tower on Old Route 7, just outside the town of Millbrook. The summer of 2022. I spent a night there after a friend's cousin vanished from the same tower two years before. The logbook entries got stranger the further back I read. The last entry was dated the day she disappeared. It wasn't written in her handwriting. And the video she left behind — the one nobody had ever watched — was still saved on the tower's memory card. I'm Luna, and this is what I found that night.…

The Unwatched Recording of the Miller House on Hemlock Lane

Jun 30, 2026 · 6:34

It starts with an email from a name Luna doesn't recognize, linking to a private video on a forgotten platform. The footage is from a baby monitor placed in a child's room in the Miller House on Hemlock Lane, a town she's never visited. The timestamp reads 3:14 AM, six months ago. Luna watches the first minute, then the next, unable to stop. The room is dark. The crib is empty. But the monitor picks up a sound—soft, rhythmic, like someone slowly rocking a chair. There's no chair in the room.…

The Unfinished Review of the Oasis Motel on Route 9

Jun 29, 2026 · 7:05

On a humid August night in 2019, Luna checked into the Oasis Motel off Route 9, drawn by a three-star review that mentioned an uncommonly quiet room. But the quiet wasn't what she expected — it was a silence that seemed to breathe, a carpet that never quite dried, and a mirror in the bathroom that reflected a room she knew she hadn't entered. By the second night, she understood why the review was never finished. By the third, she wasn't sure she was alone in her own reflection. This is a story…

The Unwatched Thumbnail on the Shared Network Drive

Jun 28, 2026 · 7:20

It's October 2023, two in the morning, and Luna is scrolling through a shared network drive left over from a closed university library. Somewhere in the subfolders—deep in a directory called 'archived_thesis_appendices'—she finds a single JPEG thumbnail. The filename is a date: 2011-11-02. The image shows a dorm room, cheap desk lamp, unmade bed, a laptop open on a spreadsheet. The timestamp on the file says it was uploaded at 1:17 AM on November 3, 2011, but the metadata claims it was last…

The Unsubmitted Review of the Water Tower on Bellwood Road

Jun 27, 2026 · 9:03

Luna scrolls through a string of one-star reviews for a water tower in rural Oklahoma. Each review is identical: 'Do not go at night, and if you do, do not look up.' She traces the reviews back to a single night in October 2019, when a man named Caleb parked his truck at the base of the tower. He didn't write a review. But his phone's location data tells the story—three hours of stillness, then a single ping from the top of the tower. The reviews kept coming after that, all from accounts that…

The Unwatched Thumbnail on the Drive Home from Stillwater

Jun 26, 2026 · 8:04

On a wet November night, driving home from Stillwater, I saw a video thumbnail in my recommended feed that stopped me cold — a view of my own kitchen, taken from inside my own house, livestreamed by an account with my name. I never started a channel. I never gave anyone access. I pulled over on the shoulder of Route 9 and watched the red 'LIVE' dot pulse for twenty-seven minutes while the timestamp on the video kept updating. The thumbnail showed the back of a chair — my chair — slightly…

The Shared Watch on Poplar Drive

Luna recalls a night in late October 2023 when her neighbor, Mrs. Castellano, started leaving her front door open. Not broken, not forced—just cracked an inch at ten p.m. every evening. Luna watched from her own porch, then from inside her own house, as the dark rectangle stayed open until dawn. The street was quiet, the air smelled of wet leaves, and nothing ever came out. But something started watching back from the bedroom window upstairs. A story about the wrong kind of attention, and the…

The Unfinished Reservation at the Falls Motel

Jun 24, 2026 · 8:03

I found the Falls Motel on a folding map in a gas station somewhere north of Yerby, Texas. A two-story brown building with a sign that flickered between VACANCY and a single yellow shape. The woman at the front desk gave me a key to Room 9 without asking my name. She said the previous guest had checked out that morning. But his bags were still in the closet. His jacket hung on the back of the bathroom door. And the television in the room was still tuned to a channel that had gone off the air in…

It's July 2022 in Hadley, Massachusetts — two in the morning, ninety-five degrees, and the U-Store-It on Route 9 is empty except for Luna and a lock that won't open. A storage unit she rented years ago, forgotten, suddenly demanding attention. Inside: a single cardboard box labeled 'Syracuse — 2009' and a camcorder tape with a sticky note reading 'don't watch this.' She watched it. Now she can't stop thinking about the woman standing in the back of the frame — the one the tape insists was alone…

The Unfinished Review at the All-Night Laundromat

Luna remembers a Tuesday in late October, just after midnight, when she pulled into the Spin Cycle Laundromat on the edge of Corbin, Tennessee. The fluorescent lights hummed over empty rows of machines, and a single dryer tumbled with something that wasn't clothes. A man in a damp coat sat in the corner, staring at a machine that had been running for three hours. He spoke without looking at her. He told her about the load he'd been trying to finish for seven years — a load that belonged to his…

The Unfinished Review at the Blue Moon Motel

Jun 21, 2026 · 5:07

I was supposed to review a motel room on Route 9 for a website that pays ten dollars per write-up. The Blue Moon Motel outside Wisteria, Ohio, had twelve rooms, a flickering sign, and a vacancy that never seemed to change. The manager handed me the key to Room 6 without looking up from his magazine, and I walked down the breezeway past windows dark as unlit screens. The room was clean enough, but the closet door was open, and inside someone had written a message in what looked like nail polish…

Luna recounts the night she found an old motel on Old Mill Road, a two-story relic with a single review online—three stars, no text, posted five years ago. She checked in anyway. The room was clean, the lock was new, and the hallway light flickered at exactly 2:47 AM. She met the night clerk, a woman named Cora who never blinked. Cora said the motel had been there since 1972, but the parking lot asphalt was still wet from a fresh pour. Luna stayed three nights. She never finished the review.…

Luna recounts a night in late October 2021 when she pulled into the Nighthawk Diner off Old Highway 11, just outside a town called Marlow. The place was near empty—just her, a waitress named Doreen, and one other customer in a booth by the window. She ordered coffee and pie, tried to read, but couldn't stop noticing the way the man in the booth watched the door. Not her. The door. Every time a car passed, his head snapped around. Doreen didn't look at him. Doreen didn't go near his booth. Luna…

In November 2019, Luna spent a week in the small town of Millbrook, New York, housesitting for a friend of a friend. The house on Sycamore Lane was charming—warm lighting, creaky floors, a woodstove. But the real estate listing for the house next door, still live on Zillow, showed a photo that didn't match what Luna saw from the window. The listing lingered. The house remained unsold. And every night, Luna watched the same lamp glow in a window that should have been empty. This is the story of…

The comments are locked. The photo shows a second-story window where something is watching from behind the curtain. She clicks the post. She reads the comments—twelve of them, all from the same username, posted over three hours. Each one is a sentence. Each one is worse than the last. And then she notices the…

It was three in the morning when I found the thumbnail. The rest of the recommended grid was the usual late-night detritus—ghost hunting compilations, unboxing videos, ASMR rainfall. But one thumbnail was different. It showed a room I knew. Or thought I knew. The camera angle was from inside a closet, peering out through the slats at a bed with a sleeping figure. The title said 'Oak Street, Room 12, July 14th, 2023.' That was my old apartment on Oak Street. That was my bedroom. And I had never…

A late-night livestream from an abandoned house on Briarwood Lane in Oakvale, Vermont. The streamer, a quiet woman named Nora who only ever filmed empty rooms, suddenly stopped uploading. Luna found her last video—a seven-minute feed of a single corner in a dark bedroom. Nothing moved. No one spoke. But the comments kept arriving, long after the stream ended.

The video is unlisted, uploaded years ago, with no comments. She watches it alone, at 3 AM, and begins to notice details that don't match any memory she has. The room is hers, but the girl in the video is not her. Or maybe she is, from a night she can't remember. A story about surveillance, lost time…

Luna arrives at a storage unit auction in Denton, Ohio, on a humid September morning. She wins a unit that belonged to a woman named Eleanor Voss — a retired librarian who lived alone. Inside, there is furniture, boxes of books, and a locked bedroom door that shouldn't exist. The unit is a single room, but the door leads somewhere else. Luna opens it. What she finds inside is not a storage unit. It is a bedroom, frozen in time, with a figure sitting in a chair. The figure does not move. There…

The feed had been running for months with no activity, until someone commented a single line: 'There's someone in the parking lot.'

Then she found the clip — a figure standing at a window that should have been sealed shut. The…

It was late October, just before Halloween, when I found myself scrolling through a forgotten CCTV feed from a boarded-up motel on the outskirts of Drayton, Ohio. The feed showed nothing but a dim hallway on the second floor — peeling wallpaper, a flickering sconce, a door at the end with the number seven. I watched for hours, caught by something I couldn't name. Then, at 3:17 AM, the door opened. What stepped out moved like it had been waiting. This is not a ghost story. It's a story about…

Luna revisits a review she never published: a motel on Maplewood Drive where the night clerk handed her a key to a room that wasn't empty. The hallway lights flickered at exactly 2:17 AM. The TV in Room 8 turned on by itself, showing static that slowly resolved into a woman sitting on the edge of the bed.
