Nobody ever believes a child.

~ ~ ~

There has always been superstitions with witches, but the most infamous of times for it was in 1692 in Massachusetts. Some called it a lesson learned, some a waste of time and people. Yet most people called it one thing; the Salem witch trials.

From 1692 to 1693 there were fourteen victims; most consisted of women, all hanged except for one. It was a time of unforgiving paranoia; people pointed and unconditionally believed what was said for the sake of security. Afterall, anybody could be withholding a dirty secret from you without your own good in mind. To say the least, those two years were incredibly dark times that all would hope to leave in the past.

Unfortunately history repeats itself. One scrambled date later, in 1926, the superstition rises again; but this time it is not in a crowd, but in a single man.

Witness the revived witches from the infamous trials of 1692.

Nobody died on good terms all those centuries years ago. Chaos with a side of snarky, passive aggressive hexing is due for all of the resurrected women - unfortunately, they get walked in on.

What's to be done with the man who's seen their witchy business is to be debated.

In 1600s Virginia, a small colonial village sprang up unceremoniously on the sacred burial grounds of the Native American people it was taken from, the Nottoway. Now, an ancient evil has been awakened in the form of Elementals known as The Bird People and it is suspected that the Nottoway Tribe has cursed the ground in revenge for being encroached upon by colonial settlers. After failed crops, still births, deaths, burnt homes and facing starvation, superstitions run rampant and the townspeople do the only thing they can think of in the late 1600s to appease these angry and destructive spirits. Give them an offering. It is quietly decided by the elders of the community, in an effort to keep these spirits of the bird people at bay, that every woman should give up her first born infant daughter to them.

In 1931, a seventeen year old troubled girl was sent to an insane asylum. Only being there a month, three guards took her into a small room, raped her, and brutally beat her to death. Legend says that the girl is still there, waiting to seek revenge. Apparently anyone that has gone in... never came back out. Now 2011, 80 years later, eight friends decide they want to stay the night there. What was suppose to be a night of goofing off and having fun takes a turn for the absolute worst when the legend turns out to be true... Disclaimer! I own everything. Don't steal and I will love you forever. Warning: This story contains a lot of violence, language, and a little bit of sexual activity. If you don't like any of that please don't read.
