The Cursed Fog of Applegate in Sapulpa Oklahoma

In the small, forgotten town of Applegate Estates on Old Hwy 90, a heavy fog clung to the streets like a shroud, giving rise to chilling legends. The townsfolk whispered about a night when the mist would awaken, calling forth the spirits of those who had disappeared without a trace. On the longest night of winter, residents locked their doors, fearing the fate that awaited anyone brave enough to wander into the fog.

Tracy was a journalist, eager to expose the truth behind the town's dark tales. She dismissed the superstitions as mere folklore, believing they were products of fear rather than reality. “Ghosts aren’t real,” she scoffed, but the chill in the air made her uneasy.

On the winter solstice, Tracy stepped into the fog, her breath visible in the frigid air. Familiar landmarks disappeared into the haze, leaving her in an unsettling silence, broken only by the crunch of her footsteps on the cobblestones. A strange sensation pulled her deeper into the fog.

Then she heard it—a faint voice whispering, “Help me…” The sound sent a shiver down her spine, but her curiosity overcame her instincts. She followed the voice until she discovered a dilapidated house, its windows shattered and the door ajar, creaking in the wind like a warning.

With a deep breath, she crossed the threshold. The air inside was thick with dust, and the floorboards groaned beneath her. She flicked on her flashlight, revealing a staircase that spiraled upwards into darkness. The voice beckoned her, clearer now, urging her to climb.

As she ascended, the whispers grew louder, filling her mind with tales of sorrow and despair. At the top of the stairs, a long hallway stretched before her, lined with doors that seemed to pulse with an otherworldly energy. One door, slightly ajar, emitted a soft, inviting glow.

Pushing it open, Tracy gasped. The room was small and dimly lit, dominated by an ornate mirror that reflected not her image but a swirling mass of tormented faces. The whispers erupted into a chaotic symphony, drowning her thoughts. “Leave us! You shouldn’t be here!” they cried, but she was entranced, unable to tear her gaze away from the haunting scene.

Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the room, snuffing out her flashlight. Panic seized her as she sensed a presence behind her. Turning around, she faced a shadowy figure, its features obscured. “Why do you disturb us?” it hissed, the ground trembling as if the house itself were alive.

Realization crashed over her. She stumbled back, instinctively seeking escape, but the door slammed shut, trapping her inside. The whispers escalated into a cacophony, enveloping her. “You are one of us now!” they shrieked, a twisted welcome echoing in her mind.

Frantically, Tracy pounded on the door, heart racing, but the walls seemed to close in. The mirror pulsed ominously, drawing her closer against her will. The last thing she heard was her own scream merging with the wails of the lost as she was pulled into the mirror, joining the ranks of the trapped souls.

Days passed, and Tracy was never seen again. The townsfolk searched for her, but all that remained were the whispers of the fog and the haunted house that would claim another life. The legend grew, and on that long, dark night, anyone who stood quietly in the streets of Applegate Estates could hear her voice, faint yet clear, echoing through the mist—“Help me…”

The fog was more than just a weather phenomenon; it was a gateway, an insatiable void waiting for the next curious soul to wander too close, drawn in by the whispers that lured them into eternal darkness.
