People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

With its abandoned streets, dilapidated homes, and a history shrouded in mystery, Ashvale seems frozen in a nightmare that no one dares to wake from. Whispers of ghostly apparitions, strange disappearances, and eerie happenings have kept visitors away for decades, leaving it forgotten by the outside world. Ella Turner, a young, ambitious journalist with a reputation for uncovering the truth, is determined to crack the mystery of Ashvale. Drawn by the promise of a story that could launch her career, she arrives with nothing but curiosity and skepticism.

The townspeople, few and far between, speak in hushed tones, warning her to leave before it's too late. They know the truth about Ashvale's dark past: it is cursed, haunted by restless spirits who have never found peace.
