Ethan Blake and his experience with the ghost

On a chilly autumn night, well past midnight, Ethan Blake found himself wandering along a desolate road, completely disoriented. He had taken a wrong turn and lost his way in the dark labyrinth of the town's outskirts. Fatigue had settled in, and hunger gnawed at his stomach.
