The Mountain Ritual No Outsider Should Ever Witness

High in the Appalachian mountains, traditions run deeper than blood. When someone dies, the mountain folk open every window in the house — even in the dead of winter. Outsiders think it’s just superstition. But those who live there know the truth: it’s not about letting the soul out… it’s about keeping something far worse from staying behind.

When a young woman returns to her ancestral cabin for her grandmother’s funeral, she laughs off the ritual. The night after the windows are shut, she begins to hear knocking from inside the walls — and a slow, deliberate breath near her ear. The air turns colder, but the windows remain sealed.

Soon she realizes the old mountain stories weren’t warnings — they were instructions. And now, the spirit trapped inside the house wants her to finish what her grandmother started.
