Dateline: Hollow Creek — Murrow Manor, the derelict estate at the edge of town, issued another unsettling report to local authorities last night. At approximately 02:47, staff reported faint music and a chorus of whispers emanating from behind the boarded front doors. No windows were broken, and no intruders were found when officers arrived, though the house pressed against the night with a cold, metallic breath.
Witnesses described a presence more felt than seen. Neighbor Ava Cole recalled a light moving through the hallway as if steered by unseen hands. “It wasn’t a light,” she said. “It was something leaning into you, listening.” Another resident spoke of a lullaby that never ends, repeating softly while the house sighed.
Explanations offered by city inspectors were cautious: no active fire or structural failure; engineers suggested age-related settling but acknowledged the manor’s drafts can produce uncanny sounds. A paranormal consultant arrived, declining to comment on specifics but noting the building’s long history of incidents, including a disappearance in the 1980s.
Outlook: Officials will secure the site and document the night’s events. For Hollow Creek, Murrow Manor remains a nightly headline—haunted place, scary blog, and now a case file the town cannot ignore.
