The Curse of Dread Hollow:

Hidden in the shadows of the valley lies Dread Hollow — a town poisoned by its own wicked history and haunted by the spirits of the forsaken. What began as a peaceful settlement turned into a breeding ground for terror, forever marked by the cruelty of one woman: Mercy Harker.

She came whispering lies.

With twisted words, Mercy convinced the town’s founding fathers that thirteen young women were witches who had cursed the land.

Frenzy overtook reason. Fear spread like wildfire. Under the iron command of Constable Jedidiah Kane, the accused were condemned, hanged, and burned without mercy.

As the flames consumed the innocent, something far more sinister was born.

A piercing howl ripped through the night. From the clock tower, Mercy watched with wicked delight, declaring, “This town is forever mine.” In that instant, lightning struck — the tower shattered, crashing to the ground in a fiery ruin. Mercy Harker was believed to have died in the wreckage…

…but the curse did not die with her.

The blood of the innocent seeped into the earth, feeding a darkness still spreading through Dread Hollow. For centuries, the town has been claimed by sinister shadows — a place where nightmares awaken, and the line between the living and the dead disappears.

People simply vanish from Dread Hollow, fate unknown… their names and lives swallowed by the curse Mercy left behind.

Those who dare to enter feel it instantly — the heavy stillness, whispered voices carried on the wind, and the unsettling certainty that something is watching. Waiting. Hungry.
