THESE HAUNTED HILLS

"The woods have remembered you ever since you first got lost in them."

Nestled in a holler deep in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia lies Briar Ridge: a farmin' town in 1930 torn between the greedy claws of S&C Coal and the loomin' ancient horrors of the Forest.

See, folks 'round here are used to Meemaw's warnings 'bout haints 'n not-deer, but when werewolves began rippin' holes in houses and tearin' folks limb from limb that wisdom ain't helped none. Town found a cure after more than a year, but they damn-near didn't make it. Many fell to silver bullets and canine fangs, and tensions linger still.

Just as they started to breathe easy again, folks began gettin' dragged from their beds at night, drained from their blood, their throats ripped out. Cryptid attacks became more common; somethin' other than the town's many moonshiners—you can thank Prohibition for that profitable business runnin' rampant here—was lurkin' under the cover of night.

Briar Ridge ain't for the faint of heart, but if you're willin' to put in the work, the haven town welcomes you with open arms. Just make sure those arms ain't goin'ta drag you some place you can't return from.
