Dressed in nothing but her old night-gown.

Crying in the garden,

Crying in her bed,

Little Lizzie Harrington dropped down dead."

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. 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.

The Secret of Alderwood Manor

26 parts Complete

When 21-year-old Emma Harrington inherits Alderwood Manor from a distant relative she never knew existed, she expects a quaint, if not crumbling, estate in the English countryside. What she doesn't expect is the dark, mysterious history buried within its walls. Amongst the dusty shelves and forgotten rooms, Emma discovers a collection of love letters from the 1800s-letters that tell the tragic story of a forbidden romance and a family secret long hidden. As she unravels the mystery of the manor's past, Emma finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of deception, where someone in the village knows more than they're letting on. And as she gets closer to the truth, she realizes that the shadows of Alderwood are not ready to let go of their secrets-or her. With the help of a handsome but secretive local historian, Emma must piece together the puzzle before it's too late. But as the past and present intertwine, she begins to question everything, including her own heart. Will Emma uncover the truth of Alderwood Manor? Or will its dark history consume her like it has so many before her?
