The Last Message in the Rain
It was always raining when the letters came. Elise Harding hadn’t been looking for anything unusual when she came home that evening, just a quiet night after a long day at work. Her umbrella was dripping as she walked up to her door, the air thick with the smell of rain. She reached for her keys, but then something caught her eye—a pale blue envelope, stuck to the door. No name. No stamp. Just a deep red wax seal that glinted in the dim light.

The Time I Yelled Out No to Him
The house was never quiet. Even in the dead hours, when the world outside seemed frozen, the old beams whispered to themselves, sighing under the weight of history.

Beechworth Asylum: The Haunted History of Australia's Most Tormented Institution
In Beechworth's historic town in Victoria, Australia, the Beechworth Asylum, or the Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum, is the country's most haunted location. Finished in 1867, the gargantuan complex of buildings was originally one of Victoria's largest psychiatric facilities, with a capacity to house over 1,200 patients and 500 staff at full capacity. Its massive building and expansive grounds that contained farmland, gardens, and recreation area were designed to be self-sufficient. A history of suffering and inhumane practice, the asylum is therefore a source of tales for paranormal activity.

SEASON 3 : The Black Lung Communion: How a Surgeon’s Journal Sparked a Demonic Outbreak
CHAPTER 5: THE BONE TASBEEH They didn't stop running until the heavy iron door of the old wing was far behind them, its darkness swallowed by the marginally lighter gloom of the main corridor. Liam slammed his body against the wall, chest heaving, sweat cooling on his skin. Althea leaned over, hands on her knees, vomiting onto the clean linoleum.
