Find Your Body’s Wisdom. Rewrite Your Story.

What happens when something dark and unexplained enters the safest place you know—your childhood home?

Perched on the Rooftop is a true supernatural story rooted in the lived experiences of Hector Rivera. Set in a quiet neighborhood in Honduras, this book tells the haunting tale of a family whose home becomes the center of an unexplainable presence—one that begins on the roof but doesn’t stay there.

It starts subtly. Strange noises echo across the rooftop—scraping, pacing, footsteps. The family suspects an animal. But night after night, the sounds return. Shadows flicker where nothing should be. A heavy feeling spreads through the house. The younger children grow uneasy. Pets growl at empty staircases. And slowly, an invisible force begins to unravel their sense of safety.

The narrator, a young boy named Hector, lives with his siblings and grandmother. As the nights grow heavier and the presence grows bolder, the family wrestles with how to move forward. Should they explain it away—or finally admit something is wrong?

The tension builds as unexplained scratches appear on bodies, objects move on their own, and fear begins to seep into everyday life. Hector finds himself caught between wanting to forget and needing to understand. One night, he climbs the stairs to the roof alone, and what he sees leaves a mark that never fades.

But this isn’t just a ghost story. It’s about what happens when people do not listen to children, when silence takes hold, and when fear becomes something you carry in your body for years. It’s a story of emotional survival, told with honesty and clarity by someone who lived through every moment.

Written decades later, Perched on the Rooftop explores how trauma lingers and how families navigate the unspoken. The book speaks to readers who’ve lived through their quiet horrors—those who know what it’s like to hold fear in secret.

Through it all, Hector weaves a deeper theme: family, belief, and the power of reclaiming truth. The story delivers a personal reckoning and extends a universal invitation: witness the truth, feel its weight, and believe the real experiences others often dismiss.

This book is the first in a series of real supernatural encounters. It also marks the beginning of Hector’s journey toward trauma healing and somatic wellness work, which he now shares through those books. Available in both English and Spanish, Perched on the Rooftop isn’t just for ghost story lovers. It’s for anyone who has ever felt unseen or unheard in the face of something they couldn’t explain.
