Deep into the night, people rest in their apartments longing for a night of much needed rest. Not knowing of the history behind what used to stand on the land before being torn down leaves a sense of unknowingness to the situation.

Long before, there was a children’s hospital that had mysterious figures lurking around in the mist. The high hill that it sat on left an ominous feeling for the surrounding community.

Inside of windows there shadows staring blankly out.

Many children passed away in the time that the hospital stood. Now that it is torn down, the lost souls of children wander the area looking for their way to escape being lost.

If a person walks around at night, the voices of the children screeching for help can be heard in the eerie sound of the wind. Some can spot children wandering around looking for nothing that can be seen.

The chilling gust of wind that passes by, is just an assertion of the supernatural beings that remain on the land.

These children aren’t there to hurt you but find a place to escape and free their souls.

They lost themselves in that hospital that once sat on a hill excluded from all that is around, haunted by the souls of the lost children.
