Based off of the short horror story called "The Seven Barns".
The trees intertwined with the ground creating millions of fingers. They teared at the soil, digging their way under many feet. They were menacing, making the 1900s colonial house seem minascule standing next to them.
People would pass by the land, seemingly unaware of the masked beauty. The house was lost in time. The trees continuing to grow without a nurturing caretaker. The remarkable garden in the back completely hidden from the fast pace world around it.
The family bought the house with their last savings. It was expensive, but they believed if they left their dream house, they would lose it. They took a treacherous leap of faith.
The man with no name has been following them for years. Leading them, watching them, creating pain. An invisible monster, possessing a young girl is the only way this man with no name can take his revenge.
