At the edge of a small town stands Blackwood School-abandoned, decaying, and whispered about for decades. Locals say its bell sometimes tolls at night even though no rope hangs in its tower. Some insist they have seen shadows move behind its broken windows. Others swear the name of a missing girl, Lydia, still lingers in the corridors.For most, the place is only a story. For Evelyn and her friends, it becomes a dare. One night, five teenagers cross the rotting fence to prove they are not afraid. What begins as a reckless game quickly unravels into something far darker: corridors that stretch too long, classrooms that rearrange themselves, names carved into lockers that should not know them, and a bell that rings without a hand to pull it.Each step deeper into the school feels less like exploring a ruin and more like being pulled into a memory that is not their own. The building itself seems alive-teaching lessons, demanding obedience, and marking those who fail. Soon, the friends are forced to realize that this is not about courage at all. It is about survival.The Hollow Bell is a haunting tale of guilt, memory, and the way the past refuses to stay buried.
