Echoes of the Forgotten: A Daybridge Chronicles Novel 

Some places remember. Some places hunger. Some places are doorways.

Mercy Hall remembers everything.

The investigation that will shatter reality begins with three people who don’t belong together.

Ryan Matthews: Paranormal investigator with a gift he doesn’t fully understand
Jojo Lang: Skeptical assistant who thinks ghosts are delusions
Jason Reeves: Reluctant medium who wishes he couldn’t hear the dead

They’re called to investigate the abandoned Daybridge Poor House.
Locals call it Mercy Hall.
But there’s nothing merciful about what waits inside.

This isn’t a haunting. It’s a breach.

What Ryan expects: Typical ghostly phenomena. Cold spots. Strange sounds. Maybe a residual haunting.

What he finds:
🌀 A hidden government laboratory
⚡ Classified experiments from decades ago
💀 Dimensional fabric torn wide open
👁️ An ancient entity that slipped through the cracks
🩸 A building using its traumatic history as food

Mercy Hall isn’t haunted by ghosts.
It’s infected by something from outside reality.
And it’s been growing stronger for decades.

The forgotten voices aren’t crying for help. They’re calling something through.

Every investigation has warning signs.

Missing time.
Vivid hallucinations.
Voices that shouldn’t exist.
Memories that aren’t yours.

Ryan, Jojo, and Jason experience them all.

But these aren’t symptoms of a haunting.
They’re symptoms of integration.

The entity is building a consciousness network.
Using human minds as anchors.
And Ryan’s team is becoming part of it.

Ryan Matthews isn’t just investigating. He’s being recruited.

His unique sensitivity to the paranormal?
Not a gift.
A beacon.

His connection to Mercy Hall?
Not random.
Destiny.

His role in this investigation?
Not observer.
The final anchor.

The entity has been waiting for someone like Ryan.
Someone sensitive enough to bridge dimensions.
Someone broken enough to let it in.
Someone perfect enough to complete the crossing.

And Ryan is perfect.

What happens when the boundary between dimensions collapses?

The entity doesn’t want to haunt our world.
It wants to INHABIT it.

To fully cross into our reality, it needs:
⚡ The dimensional breach kept open
🧠 Human consciousness as anchor points
💀 Traumatic emotional energy as fuel
👁️ One final connection—someone sensitive enough to bridge the gap

Mercy Hall provides the trauma.
The forgotten voices provide the energy.
Ryan Matthews provides the bridge.

Unless he can stop it.

To close the breach, Ryan must confront what he’s been running from.

Why was he drawn to this investigation?
Why does Mercy Hall feel familiar?
Why is his sensitivity to the paranormal so strong?

The answers lie in the darkest corners:
🌀 Of Mercy Hall’s horrific past
💔 Of Ryan’s buried trauma
⚫ Of the dimensional space where the entity waits

To save his team, Ryan must:
✨ Navigate hallucinations that feel more real than reality
🔮 Trust a medium who doesn’t want his abilities
⚡ Convince a skeptic that the impossible is happening
💀 Confront the entity using his own mind against him
🌉 Close a dimensional breach before it tears reality apart

And face the truth:
He was always meant to find Mercy Hall.
The question is why.

The forgotten aren’t asking to be remembered. They’re warning you to forget.

Every voice Ryan hears:
A victim of Mercy Hall’s brutal history.
And a vessel for something ancient.

Every hallucination his team experiences:
A glimpse of dimensional horror.
And a preview of what’s coming.

Every moment of missing time:
A sign they’re losing themselves.
And becoming something else.

The forgotten voices of Mercy Hall are echoing.
But they’re not crying out.
They’re calling something through.

And it’s almost here.
