Abandoned 2022

As the rustic farmhouse welcomed Sara Davis (and her veterinarian husband Alex) into its weathered walls, the new mother struggled to shake off the lingering shadows of postpartum depression. The fussy newborn son Liam, a bundle of energy and curiosity, was the sole bright spot in their lives - or so it seemed. Realtor Cindy’s casual remark about the property’s dark past sparked Sara’s fascination with Anna Solomon, the young woman who had met a tragic end 40 years prior. As she delved deeper into Anna’s story, Sara found herself eerily mirrored in the long-departed mother’s appearance.

As the days passed, strange occurrences began to plague the farmhouse. Doors creaked open on their own, disembodied whispers echoed through the halls, and Sara started to experience unsettling visions of Anna and her troubled father Robert. The sound of footsteps seemed to follow her everywhere, even when she was alone with Liam. Her husband Alex grew increasingly concerned about his wife’s deteriorating mental state as he worked tirelessly to unravel the mystery surrounding their sickly neighbor Harrington’s ailing pigs.

Their lives took an unexpected turn when they met Chris Renner, their enigmatic next-door neighbor who harbored secrets of his own. As Sara learned more about Anna’s troubled past, she discovered that Renner was, in fact, her undisclosed brother - a revelation that shed light on the dark events that had transpired within those very walls four decades earlier.

Renner’s cryptic warnings only fueled Sara’s determination to uncover the truth behind the haunting whispers and hidden voices. Her husband Alex, sensing his wife’s fragile mental state, forced her to seek help from Dr. Carver, a psychiatrist who prescribed anti-psychotic medication she refused to take, fearing it would sever her bond with Liam.

As Sara struggled to come to terms with her own sanity, the farmhouse seemed determined to drive her further into madness. Robert Solomon’s ghostly apparition appeared in a burst of watery chaos, leaving Sara gasping for air as she frantically searched for her missing son. In the attic, where the mysterious forces had been gathering strength, Sara confronted the feral boys who claimed Liam as their own - an unsettling reminder that some wounds ran far deeper than any surface-level solution.

When the dust settled, and the darkness receded, Sara cradled Liam in her arms once more, a sense of peace washing over her like a balm. With Alex by her side, she welcomed the prospect of building a happy family around their resilient young son - but the shadows lingered, waiting to re-emerge with the arrival of a second child on the way.
