Willow
"I'm your problem now." Did I arrive on your doorstep? It's time to play.
Discovery Notes
1969, Colby, ME
Warning Issued
While she's yours for 24 hours, to keep Willow from calling out, always cover mirrors after sunset and drain standing water before midnight. If you hear tapping on the glass, do not look toward it. Instead, whisper "It's okay," and keep her turned away from windows until dawn. If you fail to do so, children in the house may hear their names spoken softly in the dark—and they will not be heard from again. If you adopt her, make sure she has some toys near her to keep her busy at all hours and to stop her thinking about water.

📖 Willow’s Whisper
Willow was discovered inside the abandoned Eastwood Orphanage after a flood in the spring of 1969. The building had been locked and condemned for over a decade, yet when the police forced the doors open, they found one dormitory strangely untouched by water. Beds neatly made. Toys scattered. A single rocking chair still swaying.
And in the center, Willow stood.
Every window in the room had been painted shut—except one. The glass pane was wet to the touch, and streaks ran down it as though someone had pressed their face against the glass, watching from the outside.
The children’s records told a disturbing story: in the weeks before the flood, several of the orphans claimed that “the girl in the river” visited them at night, tapping on the windows and whispering their names. One by one, the children disappeared from their beds. No footprints were ever found, only damp sheets and a faint smell of pond lilies.
When Willow was recovered, her dress was soaked, though no other object in the room showed signs of water. Her eyes, once painted pale gray, had changed into bright blue.
Locals whisper that if she is placed near a window after midnight, her reflection does not sit still. Sometimes it tilts its head. Sometimes it smiles. Sometimes it isn’t there at all.
