Generations have passed since the McDaniel family mysteriously disappeared. It is said that a stranger came to visit on that cold, Autumn day many years ago, but no one knows for sure. Their house has been vacant for decades now. Its two story image is forlorn and looming, visible only from the narrow, winding road that has been distorted by vegetation from the surrounding forest. The stone wall that encompasses the house is discoloured and broken from years of neglect, its iron gate rusty and worn by angry seasons. The windows are boarded – the house is quiet and contented, not accustomed to visitors. The wind is restless today, blowing fallen leaves in all directions. As you walk towards the entrance of the house, the wind grows distant and weak. Suddenly, the calm and silence is broken by sounds from within the house!
