Intro Hill Castle was supposed to be another haunted location checked off the list—but nothing about this night felt normal. The air was heavy. The halls whispered. And whatever watched from the shadows… wasn’t shy. Sam Golbach, the ever-curious investigator, takes the lead with his camera in hand and his girlfriend Liv McIntosh close by. Liv, a quiet but fearless presence, stands in for Katrina tonight—and somehow her energy attracts the spirits even more. She doesn’t speak much, but her expressions say everything when the EMF spikes next to her—without explanation. Colby Brock cracks nervous jokes to calm the group, but it’s clear the castle is already messing with him. His flashlight flickers every time he walks into a new room, and twice he swears he hears someone whisper his name—soft, drawn-out, and right by his ear. Celina, skeptical but grounded, tries to keep everyone focused. She carries the REM pod and takes note of the cold spots forming around them. But it’s when they reach the chapel that she loses it—a growl, loud and low, rumbles through the room, and the door slams behind them on its own. In the dark, Liv’s silhouette is the only thing visible in the moonlight spilling through the stained glass. The camera picks up a shadow next to her—but when Sam spins around, no one’s there. Each of them is marked tonight. Colby’s hand gets scratched. Liv zones out for a full minute, eyes unfocused, not responding. Sam won’t leave her side. Celina records a voice on the spirit box that whispers one word: “Stay.” They shouldn’t have come alone. And they’re not alone now.
