In the suspenseful supernatural thriller "The Haunted Ascent," Emily Forsyth is drawn back to the treacherous slopes of Mount Arden, the scene of her sister Sarah's mysterious disappearance years earlier. Living a quiet life in her coastal town, Emily's world is upended by the arrival of a cryptic letter, written in a hand eerily similar to Sarah's, urging her to return to the mountain.

Compelled by guilt, longing, and the unresolved questions about her sister's fate, Emily sets out to face the mountain once again, equipped with her climbing gear and haunted by memories of their past expeditions. As she ascends, Emily encounters supernatural phenomena and eerie presences that suggest the mountain itself is alive—and harboring secrets. With the help of her old climbing partner Tom, and the unexpected assistance of a psychologist specializing in extreme environments, Emily navigates treacherous paths and her own psychological labyrinth.

"The Haunted Ascent" delves deep into themes of grief, the bond between siblings, and the confrontation with one's past, set against the chilling backdrop of a mountain that may hold more than just physical dangers. As Emily climbs higher, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, leading to a climactic confrontation that promises to unearth the truth about Sarah, or entrap Emily in the same shadows that swallowed her sister.
