The Capitol Hill Haunt

By Norm Lanum

Dare to expose the truth, or become its next victim?

Ethan Neelio, a seasoned investigative reporter, thrives on debunking the supernatural. His latest challenge? The infamous Capitol Hill Haunt, a meticulously preserved Victorian mansion owned by a eccentric goth-influencer named Rex Jacobs. Ethan anticipates an easy win, a career-defining scoop exposing Jacobs's elaborate social media hoax for a substantial cash prize. He arrives ready to meticulously document every creak and shadow, convinced he'll uncover wires, projectors, and actors behind the mansion's spooky facade.

But as the heavy doors clang shut, trapping him and four other guests inside, Ethan quickly realizes this isn't just about viral fame. The mansion, with its year-round macabre decorations, holds secrets far darker than any influencer's staged scare. Each guest, driven by their own desperate motives, will find their deepest fears exploited for a truly malevolent purpose. The line between elaborate illusion and genuine terror blurs with every passing moment, forcing Ethan to confront not only spectral inhabitants but also his own buried anxieties about failure. Will his rational mind be enough to survive the night?

Immerse yourself in a chilling tale where skepticism meets the sinister, and the pursuit of truth might cost everything.
