On Forbidden Ground

by T.J. Perkins

"You trapped me in that crystal and buried it! Buried me! You had no intentions of every letting me out!" William screamed. He thrashed his torn and decaying arms wildly about, while approaching me from the far side of the cavern. Melissa has moved away from the old farmhouse on Wakefield Road months after trapping the evil spirit of William in a crystal and burying it. Now, years later, it seems that her fate with the old house is not yet over. After inheriting the property under mysterious conditions, she goes back to where it all began and discovers a new kind of horror - one that has grown stronger and has begun to take control of the outside world.
