The Haunted RV
Four friends trap themselves in a guilt-feeding RV in rural Georgia.
The narrative follows Ethan, Maya, Tyler, and Lena as they encounter a cursed vehicle left behind after Father Donovan’s 1983 disappearance. The entity inside does not attack physically but manipulates the mind, forcing confessions to sustain itself. Each character carries specific burdens that the RV exploits. Tyler faces the guilt of an ignored phone call. Lena runs from the sister she believes she abandoned. Ethan hides the truth about a fatal accident. Maya holds a secret capable of unleashing the trapped darkness. The story connects these personal failures to the ruins of St. Agnes Church and a forty-year history of unexplained deaths. Survival depends on resisting the urge to confess, a challenge that grows as the entity learns what hurts them most.
The story is set in rural Georgia and references events from 1983 involving St. Agnes Church. It engages with American Gothic traditions of isolated settings and inherited sins. The narrative connects contemporary supernatural horror with historical disappearances, grounding the terror in specific locations and a long-standing local mystery surrounding Father Donovan.
