THE STORY
In the depths of the Queen City on the Sound, nestled amongst fields of corn, lies the estate of Dr. Wildcliff, a reclusive botanist with a dark secret. Centuries ago, the land was home to a grand cathedral, its crypt serving as the final resting place for the region's most prominent families.
Driven by a mad obsession with botany and a desire to conquer death, Dr. Wildcliff delved into forbidden experiments. He discovered ancient texts that spoke of harnessing the power of plant life to reanimate the dead. With twisted ambition, he began to gather specimens from the graveyard on his estate, experimenting with dark rituals in the depths of his laboratory.
Using his extensive knowledge of botany, Dr. Wildcliff infused the corpses with elixirs brewed from rare plants and herbs, resurrecting them as grotesque hybrids of flesh and foliage. These abominations roamed the halls of his mansion, their once-lifeless eyes now filled with a haunting green glow.
As the years passed, whispers spread of strange happenings on Dr. Wildcliff’s estate. Locals spoke of ghostly figures wandering the fields of corn at night, their mournful moans echoing through the mist. Some claimed to have seen the reanimated corpses lurking in the shadows, their decaying forms shrouded by the overgrown vegetation.
Despite the warnings, curiosity drew brave souls to the dilapidated cathedral and its crypt, where the air was thick with the scent of decay and the whispers of the restless dead. Many who dared to venture too close never returned, their fates forever entwined with the haunted legacy of Dr. Wildcliff and his botanically resurrected horrors.
