The River’s Song
In a quiet corner of Bangladesh, where the Padma River bends gracefully through fields of golden rice and waving jute, there lived a boy named Ayaan. His world was simple—lush green fields, songs of boatmen echoing at dawn, and the endless chatter of village life. But in that simplicity, there was a depth that only those who grew up near the river truly understood.

The Memory We Missed
The first time Lila stepped into the old Thorne estate, a chill ran down her spine. Not from the cold draft sneaking through cracked windows, but from something deeper—an invisible weight in the air. Her grandmother had died two weeks ago, and with no other relatives, the house and everything in it had been left to her.

It’s been two weeks since I last wrote about Somni. Since then, my life hasn’t just been haunted by restless nights, but by a creeping paranoia that the app wasn’t just watching me… it was communicating. And worse — it wasn’t alone.

The Real Highthouse Story
For years, the tale of the Highthouse has intrigued thrill-seekers, paranormal enthusiasts, and local historians alike. Tucked away in the woods of an unnamed rural area, this crumbling structure has inspired countless ghost stories, urban legends, and even a few amateur documentaries. But what’s the real story behind Highthouse? The Origins of Highthouse Contrary to what many believe, Highthouse wasn’t always a haunted ruin. Built in the late 1800s, it was originally the estate of a wealthy but reclusive industrialist named Elias Hightham. Hightham, known for his eccentric ways, designed the house with towering spires and narrow windows, giving it a spooky, gothic vibe even in its heyday. Local records hint that Hightham was a secretive figure, rumored to have conducted bizarre experiments within his home. Some stories suggest he dabbled in alchemy, while others claim he was obsessed with reaching out to the dead. Whether these tales hold any truth or are just the result of small-town gossip remains a mystery. The Tragic Downfall The Hightham family’s luck took a dark turn in the early 1900s. Following a series of unexplained deaths—including those of Elias’ wife and two children—the house was left to decay. Some say Elias lost his mind from grief and disappeared into the wilderness, while others insist he never truly left the house. By the 1920s, Highthouse had turned into a hotspot for trespassers, vandals, and those in search of supernatural experiences. Reports of ghostly figures appearing in the windows, disembodied whispers, and even physical confrontations with visitors began to emerge. Whether these accounts are genuine paranormal happenings or just the product of vivid imaginations is still up for debate.
