Phantasmal Illumination

August 21, 2025 — Tonight under a shroud of fog and lantern-hued streetlamps, Hollow Road became the stage for an unsettling supernatural occurrence that has residents whispering in alarm.

Just after 1 a.m., a lone traveler—returning from a late shift—reported a spindle of bluish light hovering just above the asphalt. It pulsed with soft intensity, bathing the thick fog in an otherworldly glow. As the motorist slowed, the glow coalesced into a pale orb, drifting silently ahead before disappearing into the mist—leaving only the damp silence behind.

Other residents began dialing in similar accounts: a couple rounding the bend claimed their headlights dimmed inexplicably, revealing a silhouette that lingered at the fog’s edge before dissolving into the gloom. Still others spoke of a low hum, audible only when the fog drifted thick around their homes, like breath passing through old pines.

Speculation spread through the town: Could this be the return of the long-forgotten Hollow Road Lights—once dismissed as headlight reflections, swamp gas, or overactive imaginations? Or might tonight’s event be something entirely new—a spirit awakened by the haze and dark?

Rumors have already spread that calling the local folklore hotline will reconnect you to tapes where, two decades ago, similar lights were caught on grainy camera. Though skeptics chalked it up to lens flares, tonight’s new reports are enough to whisper of something more… insistent.

In the early hours of August 22, Hollow Road lies silent once again—but those who drove it tonight say the mist now feels… watched. For some, that glow wasn’t natural—and the street that was once just a shortcut home may now hold secrets waiting for the next midnight wanderer.
