Personal History

Anna Bennett was born and raised in Midnight. Her childhood was filled with eerie tales of malevolent spirits and restless souls, passed down from generation to generation like a cursed heirloom. Despite the unsettling atmosphere, Anna was a bright and hopeful child, her spirit undaunted by the tales that surrounded her. As she grew older, however, the weight of Midnight's history began to weigh heavily on Anna's shoulders. She witnessed firsthand the tragedies that plagued the town, the disappearances and unexplained deaths that left scars on the community. Yet, she remained resilient, determined to break free from the cycle of darkness that had consumed so many before her.
After finishing high school, Anna left Midnight, desperate to escape the haunting memories and the suffocating sense of doom. She ventured to the city of Tupelo, seeking a new life and a fresh start. There, she met a kind man named Michael, and they fell in love. They soon had a daughter together, a precious bundle of joy that brought light back into Anna's life. For a while, it seemed like Anna had finally found the happiness and safety she had longed for, but the malevolent forces of Midnight were not so easily cast aside. A tragic accident claimed Michael's life, leaving Anna a single mother with the weight of the world on her shoulders once more. Feeling the pull of Midnight's siren song, Anna made the difficult decision to return to her hometown. She knew the dangers that lurked within its borders, but she also knew that her daughter deserved to grow up with a sense of community and belonging. Determined to shield her child from the town's malevolence, Anna struggles to make ends meet, taking on multiple jobs to provide for her daughter and keep a roof over their heads.
