The Haunted House of Holloway Hill

There’s a house tucked away deep in the woods, past the winding roads that locals won’t dare to drive at night. If you find it—and not many do—you’ll be greeted by rusted iron gates, barely hanging on by their hinges, and a long, cracked driveway that leads to a mansion that’s almost been swallowed by the earth. The place looks like it’s holding its breath, waiting for someone to come too close.

They call it Holloway Mansion, named after the family that once lived there. Built in 1892 by Thomas Holloway, a wealthy but strange man, the house was supposed to be his family’s refuge. But if you ask the locals, they’ll tell you that no one was safe there. You see, the Holloways didn’t just vanish one day—they were consumed by something far worse.

Thomas was obsessed with the unknown. He was always looking for ways to expand his fortune, but after his wife’s sudden death, his interests took a darker turn. He started hosting late-night gatherings, inviting only the most secretive and odd people from nearby towns. Those who lived close by would swear they heard chanting coming from the mansion—low, guttural sounds that echoed through the trees, followed by screams that no one dared to investigate.

One night, everything went silent. No one heard a thing from Holloway Mansion again. When a group of curious townsfolk finally gathered the courage to check the house, they found it empty. Not a single trace of the Holloways. The place was untouched, as if the family had just stepped out for a moment. But they never came back.

Since then, people say the mansion is cursed. Some claim they’ve seen shadows moving inside, even though the house has been abandoned for decades. Others talk about hearing whispers carried by the wind when they get too close—whispers that seem to call their name. There’s even talk of people who’ve dared to step foot inside, only to come out… different. They don’t talk about what they saw, but their faces tell you enough.

Today, the house still stands, rotting away on the outside, but something about it feels alive. Locals avoid it at all costs, but every now and then, someone gets too curious, thinking they can uncover the truth about the Holloways. Maybe they think they’ll break the curse. Maybe they just want a thrill. But the truth is, once you enter Holloway Mansion, you might not leave the same.
