Ravin: The Haunting of Harding

By Cleve Sylcox

Harding Middle School is quiet at night.
Too quiet.

For Corey O'Toole, a veteran custodian who takes pride in his work, nights are usually predictable-mop the floors, lock the doors, set the alarm, go home. But something has changed inside Harding's walls.

A smudge on a mirror that won't wash away.
Footsteps in empty hallways.
Trash can lids clacking shut-one by one-when no one is there.

At first, Corey tells himself there's a logical explanation. There always is...until the radio begins speaking back.

I am Ravin.

Ravin is the spirit haunting Harding Middle School-a presence that reacts violently to being ignored, disrespected, or named aloud. Some staff placate her. Some deny her. And some learn, far too late, that she isn't just a ghost.

As Corey digs into the school's buried past, he uncovers a tragic story stretching back to the 1700s-a murdered girl, a lie that endured for centuries, and a truth far darker than anyone expects. When Corey attempts to do the unthinkable-set her free-he opens a door that was never meant to be opened.

What waits on the other side of the mirror is not peace.

Ravin: The Haunting of Harding is a chilling supernatural tale blending slow-burn horror, dark humor, and emotional depth. It asks a terrifying question:

What if the thing haunting you isn't trapped...
but hunting?

And what if the price of sympathy is your soul?

At Harding Middle School, some stains never come off.
And some names should never be spoken.
