Sanatorium Murder: The Incident
It’s Halloween night at the long-abandoned Ravenwood Sanatorium. A group of thrill-seekers and amateur sleuths has gathered to unravel the institution’s dark secrets.
Ravenwood Sanatorium, a sprawling, decrepit building, stands isolated amidst a dense forest. Its once grand architecture is now marred by peeling paint, broken windows, and overgrown ivy. The air is thick with the scent of mold and decaying wood. The sanatorium has been the subject of numerous urban legends, from ghost sightings to tales of unethical experiments. Tonight, under the ghostly glow of a full moon, a group of amateur detectives has gathered to probe into its enigmatic past.
Dr. Emily Foster was a psychologist with a Ph.D. in the history of mental health treatment. She has published several papers criticizing the inhumane methods used in asylums like Ravenwood. She was there at that night to collect firsthand evidence of the outdated and often cruel methods used in the past, hoping to advocate for mental health reform.
At the stroke of midnight, a loud crash is heard. Dr. Emily Foster is found unconscious in the old pharmacy room, surrounded by scattered pill bottles. The room’s door was locked, but there are no signs of forced entry.
