"The Haunted Farm" by David Rogers - eBook (epub)

A disillusioned college student finds himself unexpectedly pulled back to his family's farm after receiving an irresistible offer from his Aunt Will to look after the place for the summer. 
 
What begins as a simple job quickly spirals into a web of eerie encounters and cryptic warnings. 
 
Upon arrival, Tom meets Patty, a mysterious woman who insists they played together as children. But when his aunt mentions that Patty drowned years ago, Tom is thrust into a bewildering reality where nothing is as it seems.
 
The farm, steeped in unsettling memories and local legends, becomes the backdrop for a series of bizarre events. Tom's nights are filled with haunting dreams of talking animals and endless ladders, while his days are plagued by inexplicable occurrences—a strange buffalo, warnings carved in caves, and a storm that traps him on an island with no clear escape. As Patty continues to appear and vanish without explanation, Tom's grip on reality begins to slip.
 
Each revelation only deepens the mystery, drawing Tom into the farm's dark and twisted past. 
 
The more he uncovers, the more he realizes that the line between the living and the dead is perilously thin. Is Patty a ghost, a figment of his imagination, or something far more sinister? And what does the farm want from him?
