The Last Message in the Rain – Part 3: Shadows on the Page
The rain pounded against Nora’s apartment windows, a relentless drumbeat that seemed to echo the anxiety building in her chest. Each raindrop felt like it carried a warning, and the air in her small apartment grew heavy with the sense of being watched. She had locked every door, checked every window twice, and turned on every light she could find. Still, the oppressive feeling wouldn’t go away.

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.
