THE BLACK WEDDING: A Marriage with the Dead
In the remote corners of the Balkans, hidden in the folds of mountain mist and old superstition, there exists a nearly forgotten ritual known as the black wedding. When a young man or woman dies shortly before their wedding, the ceremony may still proceed — but as a funeral infused with wedding rites. The bride dresses in black, brings offerings to the grave, and vows are spoken beside the casket. It’s believed that if a promised union is left unfinished, the soul of the deceased will find no peace — and may return.

Aradale: Australia’s Asylum of Anguish
Looming ominously on "Madman's Hill" in Ararat, Victoria, Aradale Mental Hospital (also known as Ararat Lunatic Asylum) unleashed its imposing gates in 1865. Constructed as one of three massive facilities to deal with Victoria's surplus of "lunatics" – a term remarkably applied to everything from the criminally insane to epilepsy, autism, or postpartum depression sufferers – its 130-year history cemented a reputation of utter misery.

Secrets Beneath the Shadows
In a remote, forgotten part of the town stood an old, crumbling mansion, known among the locals as the “Haunted Manor.” Its dark silhouette loomed ominously against the night sky, casting long, twisted shadows that seemed to stretch endlessly under the silver moonlight. The mansion’s history was shrouded in mystery, passed down from one fearful generation to the next, each tale more chilling than the last. Years ago, a strange and unexplained incident had forced the mansion into abandonment. Since then, an eerie silence enveloped the place, broken only by the whispers of the wind. No one dared approach, believing the manor was cursed a prison for restless spirits doomed to wander forever.

Pathogen: Ch. 15
The closer it got to sunset, the more anxious Marnie got. She had no idea whose idea it was to break into the army base after dark. Surely they could do the same thing during the day. In fact, a daytime operation would probably be less conspicuous in hindsight. She chalked it up to Julian watching too many heist movies.
