I first came to Eldridge Hollow as a child, lured by the promise of summer adventures and the scent of freshly cut hay. It was a place of quiet charm, where the air held the scent of wildflowers and the sounds of crickets filled the evenings. But beneath the surface, a darker current pulsed. Whispers of a scarecrow, a menacing figure that emerged during the harvest season, chilling tales of disappearances and the unnerving feeling of a presence in the fields, watching. Years later, I returned to Eldridge Hollow, this time drawn by a heavy sense of responsibility. My grandmother, the keeper of the town's secrets, was fading, and the town was once again gripped by fear. The Keeper had returned, its menacing presence casting a shadow over the harvest festival. I set out to uncover the truth behind the legend, to unravel the threads of a past shrouded in darkness, and to face the terror that lurked in the heart of Eldridge Hollow. In the process, I would confront my own demons, the ghosts of my childhood that haunted me, and discover that the darkest secrets are often the ones we keep hidden within ourselves.
