Description
Nobody's exactly sure who built the castle, or if indeed it's even man-made, but many have nonetheless moved right on in... and subsequently lost their minds. Both going mad from the castle's peculiarities -- the feeling that the windows are watching, the interior going much further down than the outside appears to, the use of blood in place of plumbing and electricity (though it does also provide clean drinking water) -- and literally having their brains shrivel up and vanish. Soon after, the mindless tenants' skin starts to harden and blacken while their eyes yellow and turn glasslike, and they retreat into the castle's depths for some unknown purpose, never to be seen again.
Of course most run out screaming the first night or are rescued before it's too late, but the castle is patient. There will always be another fool who believes they'll be unaffected...
