News Report - June 14, 1960
In a peculiar turn of events on June 14th, a lone hiker exploring the dense Greywoods stumbled upon an unexpected discovery while accompanied by his faithful dog, Bella. The curious canine, seemingly intrigued by an unusual scent, started digging fervently in the damp soil. Unable to deter Bella, the hiker joined in, wielding a sturdy branch to unearth the concealed secret. In an interview, the hiker expressed his initial excitement, saying, "Well, I thought we caught on a treasure, ya know!" Their excavation efforts continued, delving nearly a meter into the earth until Bella's persistent digging revealed the unmistakable sound of her nails striking stone. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the hiker promptly contacted local law enforcement. To their surprise, a military patrol swiftly intervened, converging on the scene. As the authorities probed further, they uncovered three tombstones, with one at the center being notably larger than the others. The military officials remained tight-lipped about the discovery, merely stating that the tombstones housed the remains of some founding fathers. To this day, the contents and significance of these enigmatic tombstones remain shrouded in mystery, leaving the community bewildered and intrigued by the secrets buried beneath the soil of Greywoods.

Lifeless bodies, bearing signs of cruel and unusual deaths, were discovered in the heart of the Greywoods.

Rumors began to circulate, suggesting that this enigmatic vanishing act might be the ultimate circus trick orchestrated by the performers themselves.
