In the year 1847, deep in the American South, the Stonefield plantation stood as a symbol of both wealth and quiet despair. Its owner, Eleanor Whitmore, had been widowed young, left to manage the sprawling estate and five daughters alone after her husband’s sudden death.
Desperate to preserve her family’s legacy in a time of uncertainty, Eleanor became consumed by fear — fear of losing her land, her name, and her place in a world ruled by men. As the Civil War loomed in the distance, whispers of rebellion and freedom grew stronger around her.
One stormy evening, Eleanor made a fateful choice — not out of cruelty, but out of desperation and misguided pride. She ordered the creation of a “new bloodline” meant to secure her family’s future. What followed would haunt her descendants for generations.
Years later, when freedom came and the truth of her actions surfaced, the Whitmore name became a curse. The estate fell to ruin, overgrown by vines and silence. Locals said that at night, a woman in black could still be seen standing by the broken gates — staring toward the fields, whispering to ghosts of those who suffered beneath her name.
