The Legend of the Whispering Stones: Voices from the Past

Hidden in the dense forests near Hollowcreek lies one of Black Veil County’s most puzzling and unsettling landmarks: the Whispering Stones. These ancient, weathered monoliths are etched with cryptic symbols and stand in a formation that locals say has been there for centuries if not millennia.

A Mystery Older Than Black Veil County

The Whispering Stones are believed to predate the founding of Black Veil County, though their origin remains a mystery. Arranged in a circular pattern with one central stone towering over the rest, they are eerily aligned with the rising sun during the winter solstice.

Early settlers avoided the stones, warning that to linger too long near them was to invite madness. Tales of faint whispers, strange dreams, and even disappearances began to circulate, cementing their reputation as a place best left undisturbed.


The Whispering Phenomenon

The stones earned their name from the strange sounds reported by those who visit the site. Witnesses describe:

  • Voices in the Wind: The stones emit faint whispers, even on calm days. The words are indecipherable but feel oddly personal, as if the voices know the listener’s deepest secrets.
  • Eerie Vibrations: Some visitors claim to feel a subtle hum emanating from the stones, resonating in their bones and growing stronger the longer they stay.
  • Unexplained Memories: Others report flashes of unfamiliar faces, places, and events—as though the stones are sharing someone else’s memories.

“I swear I heard my grandmother’s voice,” said one visitor, “but she’s been dead for 20 years. She was warning me to leave.”

Theories Behind the Stones

  1. A Forgotten Ritual Site
    Some believe the stones were part of an ancient ceremonial site, used for summoning or communicating with otherworldly forces. The symbols etched into the stones remain undeciphered, but their intricate designs suggest they were crafted with a purpose.

  2. A Portal to the Beyond
    Another theory posits that the stones are a gateway between worlds, explaining the whispers and the vivid, otherworldly memories reported by visitors. Locals warn that staying too long in the circle risks being “pulled through.”

  3. The Residue of the Rift
    There are whispers that the stones became more active after The Great Rift. Some speculate that the event awoke something dormant within the site, amplifying its eerie phenomena.

  4. The Spirits of the Forgotten
    Others believe the stones are a resting place for spirits unable to move on. The whispers, they say, are the voices of these trapped souls, desperate to be heard.

Encounters with the Stones

  • The Lost Researcher
    A historian from Graveridge disappeared while studying the symbols on the stones. His notes were found scattered near the site, filled with frantic scribbles about “a voice in the circle” and “something waiting in the center.”

  • The Night Wanderer
    A camper claimed to have stumbled upon the stones at night and saw faint figures moving between them. The figures vanished when he approached, leaving only the echoes of whispered warnings.

  • The Marked Visitor
    A woman who touched the central stone returned to town with strange markings on her hands—symbols identical to those etched into the monoliths. She refused to speak about what happened, moving away from Black Veil County shortly after.

Would You Visit the Whispering Stones?

The Whispering Stones are both a wonder and a warning. Their presence is a reminder of the mysteries that permeate Black Veil County, and their whispers challenge anyone brave enough to listen.

The Lantern Man’s Light - Short Story

Eliza Marlow knew better than to wander Graveridge’s streets on a foggy night. Everyone knew the warning: never follow an unfamiliar light. Yet here she was, clutching her shawl against the chill, her eyes straining to see through the oppressive gray fog that swallowed the cobblestones and every familiar landmark. A faint glow flickered ahead. A lantern. “Finally,” she muttered, her voice trembling with relief. Hours had passed since she’d lost her way, and the sight of a light—and possibly another person, sparked a fragile hope. She quickened her pace, her heels clicking against the cobblestones in the dense silence. The lantern hovered at a distance, swaying slightly as though held by an unseen hand. “Hello?” Eliza called. “Can you help me?” No reply. The light began to move, slowly, deliberately. It seemed to guide her, and she followed, reasoning that any light was better than being alone in the fog. But unease gnawed at her. The stories of the Lantern Man, often whispered around h...
