The Origin of the Smiling Rock. Top Story - November 2024. Content Warning.

The Haunting of Hollow Creek
Introduction Hollow Creek was a small, forgotten town tucked away in a dense forest. It had a reputation—one of whispers, rumors, and unexplained disappearances. The kind of town that didn’t appear on maps, yet the people who lived there insisted it was real. No one from the outside dared to venture near. But when Sarah received an invitation to visit her estranged grandmother’s estate in Hollow Creek, she thought it was just another strange family quirk. What she didn’t expect was to uncover a darkness that had haunted the town for centuries.

The Dark Presence of Hollow Creek
In the remote town of Hollow Creek, nestled deep within the dense forests of the Appalachian Mountains, there is a place that locals avoid, a place so steeped in fear and tragedy that its name is spoken only in hushed tones: Hollow Creek Asylum. Once a thriving institution for the mentally ill, the asylum now stands abandoned, its walls crumbling and its halls filled with an eerie silence. But those brave—or foolish—enough to venture near it after dark tell a different story. They say the asylum is alive with dark energy, haunted by the restless spirits of those who were wronged, forgotten, and left to rot within its walls.

Halloween Kills
Michael Myers stood there, staring down at the bloody corpse of what had once been Karen Nelson. Just a few feet away was the mirror where he had killed his sister. He could still smell the scent of sweat. She was brushing her hair. It was long and silken. She turned around and shouted when she saw him.
