The Window and The Well

Some houses should remain sealed.
Some windows should never be opened.
Some wells should stay forgotten.
When three teenagers enter the abandoned Saint Orison’s House of Mercy, they expect a dare, a thrill, and a story to tell.
What they awaken instead is something old, patient, and deeply wrong.
A dead nun watches from the window.
A dry well hides a history soaked in silence.
And as whispers grow into hauntings, possession, and terror, the past begins reaching for the living.
As the haunting spreads, buried secrets claw their way to the surface - secrets tied to faith, shame, stolen children, and a darkness that refuses to stay buried. Families fracture. Faith turns brittle. And what begins as a teenage dare becomes a terrifying search for the truth behind a dead woman, a stolen child, and a house that has waited too long to be heard.
But some evils do not stay buried.
And some ghosts are not asking for peace.
