The Night Parade

Where the Forgotten Walk

By: A K Mitchell

Narrated by: Joshua Jacobson

In the town of Ashgrove, the past never stays buried. Cloaked in dense fog and shadowed by tales of those who vanished without a trace, the town keeps its secrets hidden. Mara thought she had escaped its eerie grip—until her brother, Sam, disappeared on Halloween night, leaving behind only whispers of a spectral procession called The Night Parade.

Now, a year later, Mara returns, determined to unravel the truth of that fateful night. Her search leads her to cryptic warnings from wary townsfolk, a mysterious journal filled with the town's haunted history, and a chilling rhyme that promises, "When the bell tolls thrice at 9:31, the march begins, the dead undone."

As Halloween draws near, a sinister fog creeps in, and Mara catches a glimpse of the otherworldly Parade moving through the mist—her brother among them, eyes vacant, face lost to shadow. Desperation drives her to follow the eerie procession, stepping into a world where time bends, secrets bleed through the fog, and the dead march with lanterns that glow cold and blue.

But the further Mara ventures, the more she unravels a dark history, one bound in blood and betrayal. The Parade wants something from her, and the closer she comes to the truth, the more the boundary between life and death blurs.

Now, Mara must decide: Will she uncover the mystery of The Night Parade and save her brother, or will she become just another lost soul in its ghostly march?

The Night Parade is a chilling tale of loss, sacrifice, and the shadows that linger when secrets refuse to die. Fans of haunting mysteries and atmospheric horror will find themselves lost in the fog of Ashgrove—where the night holds its breath, and the dead are never truly gone.
