In the small town of Ravenwood, a mother named Claire was known for her love and dedication towards her son, Adam. She was a single mother, working at the local factory to provide for her son. However, strange things started happening in the town when the factory began to expand its operations. Claire began to notice a change in Adam's behavior. He became withdrawn and distant, and she couldn't understand why.

One day, as Claire was leaving work, she saw a stranger lurking around the factory. She didn't think much of it at first, but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about him. That same night, strange noises woke her up from her sleep. She went to check on Adam, but he was fast asleep in his bed. As she made her way back to her own room, she noticed that the front door was slightly ajar. She panicked and called the police, but they found nothing out of the ordinary.

Days passed, and Claire couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching her and her son. She started to investigate on her own and found out that the factory was built on top of an old cemetery. The workers had unknowingly disturbed the resting place of the dead, and their spirits were restless. Claire was convinced that the stranger she had seen at the factory was connected to the spirits. She knew she had to act fast to protect herself and Adam.

One night, as Claire and Adam were sleeping, they were suddenly awoken by the sound of shattering glass. Claire quickly got up to investigate and found that the window in the living room had been broken. She could hear footsteps approaching from outside, and she knew that they were in danger. She grabbed Adam and hid in the closet, hoping that the intruder wouldn't find them.

Suddenly, she heard a voice whispering in her ear. "Claire, it's me, your son." She turned to see Adam standing next to her, but his eyes were pitch black, and his skin was cold to the touch. She realized that the spirits had possessed her son's body and were using him as a vessel to wreak havoc.

Claire knew she had to act fast. She grabbed a knife from the kitchen and began reciting a prayer she had found in an old book. The spirits started to scream and wail, and Adam's body began to convulse. Finally, the possession broke, and Adam collapsed onto the ground, his eyes back to their normal color.

From that day on, Claire quit her job at the factory and moved away from Ravenwood with Adam. She knew that the spirits would never rest until they were given proper burial, but she also knew that she couldn't stay in a town where she and her son were not safe.

As they drove away from the town, Claire glanced back at the factory, feeling a sense of relief that she was leaving the horrors of Ravenwood behind. However, little did she know that the spirits were not yet done with her, and their presence would continue to haunt her for years to come.

The end.
