0:00
in the heart of the English Countryside
0:01
stood Blackthorne Hall a sprawling
0:04
Gothic mansion cloaked in mystery and
0:06
Shadow the hall had been abandoned for
0:08
decades its stone walls bearing the
0:11
weight of Whispers that told of
0:12
tragedies and hauntings locals avoided
0:15
it at all costs Crossing themselves as
0:17
they passed its iron gates but for CLA
0:20
Marlo a journalist with a taste for the
0:23
maob Blackthorn Hall was an irresistible
0:25
challenge Claire had spent her career
0:28
uncovering the secrets behind urban
0:30
legends and forgotten histories when she
0:33
stumbled upon a faded photograph of
0:34
Blackthorne Hall in an old archive her
0:37
curiosity flared the photograph showed a
0:40
young woman standing by a grand window
0:42
her face turned slightly away from the
0:44
camera something about the woman or
0:47
perhaps the Shadows curling at the edges
0:49
of the frame Drew Claire in she needed
0:51
to know the truth about Blackthorne Hall
0:54
The Journey to the hall was as forboding
0:56
as the stories that surrounded it the
0:58
winding road twisted through dense Woods
1:01
their skeletal branches arching overhead
1:03
like Claws by the time CLA reached the
1:06
gates dusk had begun to settle casting
1:09
the mansion in Hues of gray and blue she
1:11
parked her car just outside and stared
1:14
up at the imposing structure the air
1:16
felt heavy charged with an energy she
1:18
couldn't quite name Blackthorne Hall had
1:21
been built in the late 1800s by Lord
1:23
Edwin Blackthorne a reclusive Aristocrat
1:26
known for his eccentricities and rumored
1:28
dabblings in the occult
1:30
the hall had been a sight of opulence
1:32
and scandal in equal measure hosting
1:35
lavish parties where whispered rumors
1:37
suggested rituals took place in Hidden
1:39
rooms in 1903 tragedy struck the entire
1:43
Blackthorn family Lord Edwin his wife
1:45
Margaret and their three children
1:47
disappeared overnight the only clue Left
1:50
Behind was a chilling message on the
1:52
dining room wall we are shadows now
1:55
subsequent owners of the hall reported
1:57
strange occurrences doors slammed on
1:59
their own footsteps echoed in empty
2:02
corridors and disembodied Whispers
2:04
filled the air by the 1960s the last
2:07
resident fled claiming she had seen
2:10
figures standing at the foot of her bed
2:12
since then Blackthorne Hall had been
2:14
left to rot its Secrets locked away
2:17
within its crumbling walls CLA entered
2:20
the hall armed with a flashlight a
2:22
notebook and a small voice recorder the
2:24
air inside was colder than she expected
2:27
carrying the musty scent of decay her
2:30
footsteps echoed on the marble floor as
2:32
she moved through the Grand foyer her
2:34
flashlight revealing a massive staircase
2:37
that spiraled Into Darkness the walls
2:39
were lined with faded portraits their
2:41
painted eyes seeming to follow her as
2:43
she walked she set up her temporary base
2:46
in what had once been the drawing room
2:48
the room was surprisingly intact with a
2:51
Dusty sha lounge and an ornate fireplace
2:54
she couldn't shake the feeling of being
2:56
watched as she unpacked her equipment
2:58
that night as as Clare tried to sleep
3:01
the house came alive it started with
3:03
soft Creeks as though someone were
3:05
walking in the room above her then came
3:08
The Whispers at first they were faint
3:10
indistinct murmurs but as the hours
3:13
dragged on they grew louder more
3:15
insistent she turned on her voice
3:17
recorder and asked is anyone here the
3:20
playback later revealed a chilling
3:21
response a low guttural voice Whispering
3:24
Shadows the next morning Clare explored
3:27
the hall in Earnest she disced covered a
3:30
library filled with Dusty Toms many of
3:33
which seemed to be journals and Diaries
3:35
from the Blackthorne family one entry
3:37
from Lord Edwin caught her attention the
3:39
Shadows grow Restless they whisper
3:42
secrets too terrible to Bear Margaret
3:44
insists we leave but I cannot abandon my
3:47
work the hall is alive and it demands
3:50
sacrifice the cryptic words sent a
3:52
shiver down her spine she noticed a
3:55
draft coming from behind the bookcase as
3:57
she replaced the journal on the Shelf
4:00
with some effort she managed to slide it
4:02
aside revealing a narrow staircase
4:04
leading down into the darkness the air
4:07
grew colder as she descended the steps
4:09
groaning beneath her weight at the
4:12
bottom she found a hidden room its walls
4:15
covered in strange symbols etched into
4:17
the stone a circular altar stood at the
4:19
center surrounded by melted candles and
4:22
what appeared to be dried blood stains
4:25
the sight was both fascinating and
4:27
horrifying suddenly the door slammed
4:29
shut behind her cla's flashlight
4:32
flickered and The Whispers began again
4:34
louder this time she pressed herself
4:36
against the cold stone wall her heart
4:39
pounding as the shadows in the room
4:41
seemed to rrie and shift coalescing into
4:43
vaguely human forms who are you she
4:46
managed to whisper one Shadow stepped
4:49
closer its form more defined than the
4:51
others its voice was like a knife
4:53
scraping against the glass as it spoke
4:56
we are what remains CLA spent the next
4:58
few days piecing together the Hall's
5:00
dark history she discovered that Lord
5:03
Edwin had been part of a secret society
5:05
dedicated to exploring the boundaries
5:07
between life and death the rituals
5:10
conducted in the hidden room Were Meant
5:11
to summon and bind entities from Beyond
5:14
but something had gone wrong instead of
5:16
gaining power The Blackthorn family had
5:19
been consumed by the very Shadows they
5:21
sought to control the more CLA uncovered
5:24
the more the hall seemed to react
5:26
Shadows grew darker stretching toward
5:29
her in imp possible ways objects moved
5:31
on their own and The Whispers became a
5:34
constant presence she began to feel a
5:36
strange pull as though the hall itself
5:39
were trying to claim her in one of the
5:41
journals she found a final entry from
5:43
Margaret Blackthorne the hall has taken
5:46
Edwin it has taken my children it
5:48
Whispers promises but they are lies if
5:51
anyone finds this leave while you can
5:54
the Shadows are hungry Clare knew she
5:56
should leave but her curiosity wouldn't
5:58
allow it on her last night in
6:00
Blackthorne Hall she returned to the
6:03
hidden room she carried a small Lantern
6:06
its light barely piercing the oppressive
6:08
Darkness the symbols on the wall seemed
6:10
to pulse as if alive she stood by the
6:13
altar reading aloud from one of Edwin's
6:15
journals the Shadows began to gather
6:18
swirling around her like a storm their
6:21
Whispers grew into a deafening Roar and
6:23
the air became thick and suffocating
6:26
what do you want she screamed the
6:28
Shadows paused and the same guttural
6:30
voice from before answered you the
6:33
Lantern flickered and went out plunging
6:35
the room into darkness CLA felt a cold
6:38
hand grip her shoulder pulling her
6:40
toward the altar she struggled but the
6:42
Shadows were Relentless their forms
6:45
wrapping around her like tendrils her
6:47
screams echoed through the hall but no
6:50
one was there to hear them months later
6:52
a group of urban explorers ventured into
6:55
Blackthorne Hall they found cla's voice
6:57
recorder lying on the floor of the room
7:00
the last recording was a chilling
7:02
message if you're hearing this leave the
7:04
hall is alive it won't let you go as
7:07
they played back the recording Shadows
7:10
began to gather in the corners of the
7:11
room one of the Explorers turned toward
7:14
the group his face pale did you hear
7:17
that he whispered the others shook their
7:19
heads but the Shadows were listening and
7:22
they were hungry once more
