Today will be the 80th yearly seance. Usually it occurs in the fall season.
I would tell you right now that this seance is important to our secluded community. Because we have to search for five people in order to sacrifice to the Hollow. It is a secret to who this entity is, but what I can tell was that if Its demand wasn't met, It would rain hell on this world.
And so, over this eight decades, we find five people and lure them to our seaside community. After a day of them being in the community, we would take a seat while we watched the people in responsible sacrifice the five people; they would tie the five up, and then push them into the water.
After some time, I think I know what one of the entity's secret is: for every time we sacrifice, it looked as though the Hollow would extend our lifespan. I should be dead by now. I'm 100 years old now.
