The Echoing Hall

The asylum was shuttered in 1969, but the silence never came. Fifty years ago, Dr. Elias Thorne, a man obsessed with the curative power of sound, pushed the boundaries of experimental therapy to a horrific extreme. In his Auditory Stimulation Ward at Blackwood County Asylum, Ohio, he orchestrated a cacophony of competing frequencies, attempting to find the "frequency of the cure." Instead, he unleashed an agonizing sonic assault that culminated in an absolute, unnatural silence—a void so profound the building itself seemed to absorb the pain and noise. The asylum has been listening ever since. Now, urban explorer and livestreamer Leo seeks internet fame by breaking into the sealed asylum. Armed with a headlamp, a camera, and a manufactured bravado, he steps into the profound darkness of Blackwood. The air is heavy, the silence oppressive, and the grim history quickly shifts from spooky backstory to terrifying reality when the building begins to whisper his name in a familiar voice from his past. Blackwood Asylum is a chilling descent into a place where silence is the enemy and the past refuses to stay buried. Discover what happens when the noise stops, but the horror remains.
