A brand-new tale has just dropped, and this one... well, it lingers.
In tonight’s episode, we step into a story unlike any other—a slow-burning descent into a world that shifts beneath your feet, where nothing stays still for long and everything seems just a little too aware. Our protagonist wakes with no memory, surrounded by silence, and quickly learns that the rules of reality don’t quite apply here.
What follows is told through journal entries—each one a breadcrumb trail through a dreamlike maze of fear, wonder, and self-discovery. This is a story of witnessing, of choosing, of becoming. And while I won’t spoil what’s waiting behind the doors, I’ll say this: not everything that watches is trying to be seen… and sometimes, the scariest thing you can encounter is the truth you’ve hidden from yourself.
You’ll find familiar themes of identity, isolation, and the eerie ways memory distorts what we think we know. It’s rich, strange, and emotional—the kind of tale that stays with you long after the credits roll.
🎧 This one’s best enjoyed with the lights low and your headphones snug.
As always, THANK YOU you legends!!!
Your patronage lets me explore stories that stretch into the uncanny, the unsettling, and the unexplained. If you enjoy this episode, drop me a comment and let me know: What would you do if the walls started whispering back?
With spine-tingling appreciation, and a GIANT Teacup in hand, yours truly....
🎙️ Dragnet Recovered Files: Three Cases. No Innocence Left.
Badge up, detectives!!
...because this week’s recovered cases from Dragnet pack more heat than a July sidewalk in downtown L.A. We’re cracking open three dusty reels, all loaded with lies, long shadows, and the quiet kind of danger that wears a polite smile.
“Police Academy” (Aug 25, 1949)
“Myra the Redhead” (Sept 1, 1949)
“Eric Kelby” (Sept 3, 1949)
🎧 How I work the magic - De-hum, De-Noise, and Levelling tools!
Thank you, detectives Tale Tellers!!
New cases are on the board......await your next case legends!
G’day legends and Happy Horror Sunday! 💜💜💜💜💜
Hope you’re all well—and that the walls of your home aren’t breathing...
I just dropped a new episode: "The Lodger in 6B", and hoo boy—it’s a slow-burn horror that’s been simmering in my head like an old kettle that refuses to whistle.
It’s a weathered tale. One passed down from parent to child. A quiet warning about a flat in an old building where something isn’t quite right. Nothing jumps out at you (at first), but the silence in this one gets louder and louder, until suddenly… it’s not just a room anymore.
This isn’t your standard haunted house fare either. No chain-rattling ghosts or slamming doors. This one’s about ink. Memory. Identity. And a room that’s always hungry for the next sentence.
There’s lore dripping all over the floorboards of this one. You’ll hear whispers of other tenants, cursed journals, mouths in the wall, and a building that… well… has opinions.
It’s personal, it’s eerie, and it might make you hesitate the next time you walk past a door that’s just barely ajar.
Give it a listen when the lights are low, tea’s gone cold, and there’s just enough silence for something to creep in.
Let me know what you reckon—comments are open. And if you've ever lived in a place that felt off... I want to hear about it.
Cheers for your support, as always.

Room 6B: Summary from the Hollow Rooms Archive
Designation: Room 6B
Room 6B isn’t haunted—it’s alive. A sentient narrative loop, feeding on memory, identity, and story structure. It doesn’t want tenants. It wants characters.
Every resident finds the same thing:
The room adapts. It listens. It learns your voice, your fears, your rhythm. Then it begins to rewrite you.
⚠️ Known Phenomena:
Ink that rises instead of drips
Voices in your own tone behind the walls
A mouth forming in plaster—too wide, too knowing
Journal entries you didn’t write
Loss of free will disguised as plot development
🕯️ Do Not Ignore:
A door that feels warm to the touch
Furniture rearranging itself
The urge to write down everything you feel
Mirrors that reflect events not yet lived
🧷 Archive Notes:
Room 6B is one of several Anchor Points across the globe—self-aware structures that consume narrative tension. It may be the first to fully master human language.
No method of cleansing, sealing, or destruction has succeeded.
If you find yourself inside…
Do not finish the story......
G'day legends! 💜💜💜
So welcome to todays episode, Dustglass!
This one started off as a weird little whisper. Just an idea: a motel where people don’t go missing physically... they just get forgotten. It could’ve been a short creepy tale, but it didn’t want that. It wanted to unravel.
And the more I wrote, the more I realized: this isn’t about a monster. This is about grief, guilt, memory, and how we carry the things we wish we could let go. I wanted to explore this theme deeply as I was watching more horror films lately, and explored the themes that really had me and friends on edge. Hence, Dustglass is born.
Dustglass is a story about the parts of us we bury. The rooms we never open. The versions of ourselves we hope no one sees.
That’s what the Bleached Man really is — not a villain, but a symptom. He doesn’t kill. He erases. He makes you forget the moment that broke you. Seems like a gift, right? But once you lose that, you lose the you that was forged through surviving it.
Lyle didn’t escape the motel by defeating a demon. He got out by remembering the truth… and forgiving himself.
That’s the real twist:
Pain doesn’t make us less.
Mara, on the other hand, chose to forget. And yeah, that made her peaceful. But it also made her someone else. And maybe that’s the real horror — not dying, but becoming a version of yourself that doesn’t remember why you matter.
The Dustglass Motel, in the end, isn’t a place. It’s an idea. A trap. A way of running away from who you were. And it’s always out there. Not on the map. But somewhere off the edge of your next bad day.
And it always has vacancy.
Thank you for supporting me, and ultimately helping me write this one legends. Seriously. This wouldn’t exist without your support, weird late-night messages, your DMs about grief, ghosts, trauma, and tea.
I’ll be back soon with something new.
And if you ever see a dusty motel on the side of the road with no address…
You’ve probably already stayed there.....

Attached is the Outro Song for this story should you wish to listen to it specifically.
In the Hollow, there are rules.
There’s an old saying in the Hollow: Leave one plate empty. Don’t lock your doors during the harvest. And above all—don’t watch the scarecrow.
This story lives in that kind of world—where memory can be dangerous, silence is a form of safety, and the wind always seems to know your name. The Harvest of Crows is old-world horror: not sharp or violent, but ever-present. Like something just beyond the tall wheat, watching.
The town at the center of this tale doesn’t show up on maps anymore. It's tucked away where the land itself seems to prefer to be forgotten. Every year, as the wheat turns pale and brittle, the crows return. And when the crows return, someone disappears.
No one speaks of it. That, too, is part of the ritual.
But this year, a boy named Isaac doesn’t sleep through the harvest...
And in the Hollow, when you stay awake, you begin to see the real horrors around you.
Isaac notices things others ignore:
A scarecrow that subtly tilts as if it’s listening.
An attic that smells not of dust, but of breath.
A cellar door that never quite stays locked.
These aren’t just oddities. They’re warnings.
The Hollow is layered in folklore, buried in silence:
Attic pages scrawled with names and the word “Taken.”
Cellar roots that pulse, faintly, like something alive.
Wheat that hums softly when spoken to.
And a scarecrow that doesn’t guard the crops—it counts them.
This isn’t a place that hunts children.
And the town answers—with silence.
Until Isaac steps into the field...and breaks the pattern.
This one is personal. Not just because it’s eerie and drenched in dread—but because it plays with the idea that noticing something makes you part of it.
The Harvest of Crows isn’t about monsters in the traditional sense. It’s about the quiet desperation of a town that survives through omission—and what happens when one boy finally asks, “Why?”
Thank you for being here.
The Hollow may forget.
