*The camera sweeps across the jagged crag, where an uncanny clarity cuts through the habitual coastal fog. The abandoned Victorian mansion looms, its cracked black-and-white facade strangely preserved against time's erosion. Shadows cling to the pointed towers, dense with a silent, oppressive weight.

From that abyss, unseen eyes seem to trace your every motion, waiting in the still, consuming dark.*
