Blackwood's Yew Farm

Secrets Beneath the Ancient Canopy

By Kamran AlamPublished about a month ago 3 min read

Jenna, a YouTuber, is tasked with documenting the haunting atmosphere of Blackwood's Yew Farm, a place that has been empty for years. She sets her camera on the porch handrail and captures B-roll footage of the house's interior, including the staircase and fireplace. Jenna is known for setting up convincing shots to keep her audience on edge.

The house is beautiful and has a history of being haunted, but Jenna is here to bust myths and find the truth. She uses her notebook to document the house's history, which includes the mysterious disappearance of John Blackwood in 1929 and the subsequent ownership changes. The house has been empty for twenty years, and Jenna is excited to explore the attic, where she finds old clothes, yellowed letters, and a leather-bound diary.

Jenna reads the diary aloud, promising to read some of this information later for her viewers. She continues to explore the attic, capturing every dusty corner and finding that the place is like a time capsule. She promises to read more about the farm's history later.

As Jenna reads, she notices strange noises last night, which she believes are a result of the mysterious disappearance of the Blackwood family. The next entry, written by a woman named Margaret Blackwood, is a letter from her mother, who had been a resident of the farm since 1929. The handwriting on the letter is a picture of a man who was a scout for the Blackwood family, and the handwritten note is a letter from her father, who had been a member of the Blackwood family.

Throughout the journey, Jenna is determined to uncover the truth about the haunting atmosphere of Blackwood's Yew Farm and its history. She plans to use her camera to capture every detail and make her viewers feel as though they are part of the story. As she continues to explore the attic, Jenna hopes to provide more insights into the haunting atmosphere of the house and its inhabitants.

Jenna and her friends, Maggie and Jenna, are heading to the basement to investigate a mysterious house. The basement is a large, shadow-filled space filled with old furniture and dust-caked boxes. Jenna's flashlight casts eerie shadows on the walls, and she pulls an old photo album from a box, revealing black-and-white images of the Blackwoods family.

Suddenly, a loud bang comes from the far corner where the shadows seem darker and more menacing. Jenna moves towards the door, and she sees a large, dark figure standing just beyond the reach of her flashlight. The figure does not respond, but Jenna takes a step back and turns to run, slamming the door shut.

The figure begins to move towards Jenna, telling her that she got demons instead of ghosts. Jenna's heart pounded in her chest, and her fear mounted. She tries to run, but the figure disappears, leaving only an eerie shriek in its wake. Jenna fumbles with the doorknob, opening easily and fleeing up the stairs.

Maggie calls Jenna, who tells her that the house is possessed and she needs help. Maggie tells Jenna that she needs a priest, Father Michael, who does exorcisms. Jenna agrees, and Father Michael sends him to her. Jenna hangs up, sinking to the floor, her back against the front door.

Father Michael arrives at the door, revealing a crucifix, holy water, and a worn prayer book. He instructs Jenna to keep the vial of holy water with her for protection. Jenna clings to the holy water and listens as the priest starts chanting "Et ne nos inducas in tentationem."

As the temperature drops, Jenna shivers, feeling the icy breath of the unseen entity. A deafening roar erupted, shaking the walls and sending dust and debris down. A force slammed into them, sending them sprawling and crackling with energy. The priest gasped, "Sancte Michael Archangele," and the air pressed in and released outwards as the air pushed outwards.

The story ends with Jenna and her friends being trapped in the basement, unsure of what to do next.
