"Falridge was originally called Fall's Ridge, named after a strange phenomenon where many of the town's occupants threw themselves over the edge of the cliff that borders our forest, falling to their deaths on the sharp ridges of rock below..."

Since that long-forgotten year, Falridge has been a nothing town; a place where happenings are uncommon, and news even more so. But when a series of murders begins, people start asking questions, ones that seem quite strange. 

"I can only wonder why, so many years ago, the town changed its name. To begin anew; to not remember the grizzly deaths of so many? Or to cover up a macabre secret, too strange to believe? And if that is true, as I believe, then I ask you this: what were they hiding?"All Rights Reserved

The Haunted Power by doitelmo

Have you ever heard of that tale? Well, you probably haven't or you probably have, there's no in between. This story is everywhere, especially Roston, California. . . Although this house is slightly different. Decades ago there was a fire that killed all who lived there, which left that house with auras of different families combined. When a descendent of each family walks into the house, together, anything can happen. As years past nothing had happened, but that all changed when one of the descendent families come back into town. Madness and magic will spread... © 2014-2015 E.L.M-O & A.M.H
