On a stretch of route 20 there seems to be a string of missing persons and vehicles, as far as my research can tell, it goes back a long while... like eighteen forties or so. It was usually a person here or there, maybe a missing wagon, and now cars. But in the past five months three more folk have gone missing. Closest town to near there is Bellwood. I figured that would have been a good spot for the old Captain to start looking." Mr. Blanche says, before closing the folder and setting it aside.

Legends & Lore:
Caslow Bros wrote:”All kinds of hoodoo can be said about the area of West Virginia, hell, some of the stories are as strange as the Indians saying they’re not the first people here. As to the subject matter at hand, the only thing I can think of may be about the hungry winter. Not sure when the tale takes place, but sometime in the past a bad winter made getting sustenance right difficult, so some folk resorted to less savory means to fill their bellies. Stealing other folks' supplies, down to killing and eating each other. If the story is to be believed, quite a bit of it happened in the general area around here. But like I said, I have no idea when it actually happened, or if it did at all.”
"All things age. All things die. In the end, our sun burns out. Our universe grows cold and perishes. But the Dark Dimension, it’s the place beyond time."
