Sometimes, echoes just need to be heard...

"Eilidh MacKenzie always knew she was different. Raised in a quiet Scottish village cradled by hills and lochs, her childhood was shaped by the whispers of her great-grandmother —stories of second sight, banshees crying by the river, and the mist that wasn’t just mist. Most folk rolled their eyes. Eilidh never did…" 


In a quiet Scottish village, where folklore lingers in the hills and the past never fully fades, one woman begins to understand that what she sees — and hears — may be more real than anyone believes.This original paranormal story explores second sight, Celtic folklore, and the quiet pull of voices that refuse to be forgotten.

Some things should never be unearthed...

"Pierce saw a large group of men appear from a bellowing wall of white. Like ghostly figures emerging from beyond the supernatural veil. They were carrying a man on a makeshift stretcher. Pierce’s eyes still were not great, and he thought someone had covered the man in a velvet blanket for warmth, but as the struggling group got closer, he could see that it was no blanket. Blood covered the man from head to toe..."

A roadtrip takes a dark turn after a stop at a roadside diner...

"A jukebox blasted out some Chuck Berry. He knew the tune but not the words... He couldn’t remember the last time he’d heard it. Or any music, come to think of it.
