Willow Creek nestled in a picturesque valley, its quaint streets lined with century-old maples and elms that whispered secrets with every breeze. Founded in 1832 by pioneering settlers, the town had always exuded an air of tranquility that belied its troubled past. From Main Street's charming storefronts to the white-steepled church on the hill, Willow Creek embodied small-town Americana. But beneath this idyllic facade lurked a history steeped in blood and shadows. The town's founders had chosen this location not for its natural beauty, but for its proximity to an ancient Native American burial ground. Legends spoke of a powerful shaman who cursed the land, vowing that any who disturbed the eternal rest of his people would face a fate worse than death. For decades, Willow Creek prospered, its residents blissfully unaware of the dark forces that slumbered beneath their feet. But as the town grew, so did its appetite for expansion. In 1923, during the construction of a new railroad, workers accidentally unearthed a mass grave filled with Native American remains. The foreman, driven by greed and a tight schedule, ordered the bones to be quietly reburied and the incident covered up. It was then that the whispers began. At first, just a few townsfolk reported hearing strange noises in the night – wails of anguish carried on the wind. Soon, people began to disappear. Their bodies would be found days later, drained of blood, their faces frozen in expressions of ultimate terror. The elders of Willow Creek knew the truth. The shaman's curse had awakened something ancient and malevolent.
