|SHORT STORY VERSION · EDITED|

Lost in the depths of the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park, Ranger Kate meets a mysterious hermit who may very well have a connection with the decade-old legend of the Ghost of Ontario.

***

Ranger Kate wants only one thing: to see her son, whom she lost to a canoe accident ten years ago. The opportunity comes when she and her partner, Ranger Amelia, attend the 24-Hour Ghost of Ontario Challenge in the Lady Evelyn-Smoothwater Provincial Park. Legend has it that a ghost haunts it with his mysterious lullaby, "Lucilla," and the only way to connect with him is for two individuals to brave the lakes.

Ihaan never expected to find Ranger Kate on Red Squirrel Lake, said to be the birthplace of the ghost. He and his eagle friend, Ro, band together to win her trust, which is crucial for Ihaan's Guardian Trial. It's the only way for him to learn whether he is truly dead.

Fate turns to reality, and suddenly, the legend of the ghost is more real than Ihaan and Kate think. What will happen when the Spirit Animals come and try to interfere with their long-lost memories? Will Kate and Ihaan defeat them, or will they lose themselves to the hands of Ontario's Beast?

The Faith Providence Highschool Ghost Hunters Club is tightening its belts for an expedition into the Pool Park Asylum. This building fell into disuse after serving as a treatment facility for individuals with mental health issues. The reasons behind its collapse are complex and varied, despite the apparent sparing of no expense in its construction. However, a myriad of scandals has imbued the building's history with an absurd and terrifying value, leading to its failure in the market and eventual abandonment.

Rumors abound of horrifying occurrences such as poltergeist activity, shadowy apparitions, whispers, and the screams of a woman. It is said, like a comet returning once in a century, there was once a patient whose outer beauty was inversely proportional to her tormented psyche. Ostracized from her family for bringing shame and deemed to have no future, she became prey to the predatory behavior masked as medical treatment, sealing her fate in darkness and despair.

Anyone daring to step foot in this place is assured a fatal outcome.

A boy falls in love with another boy but that boy has a secret. He isn't human...

"My mind your always on it. Why did you have to die? Come back? Please? I need you!"
