Terrifying Mount Claudia

No one knew why or how
but Mount Claudia was haunted
not by ancestral ghosts
but by something dark and sinister

did people die there?
If so, they were probably murdered
maybe pushed off and left to die of broken necks
it had that kind of feel

whatever happened
happened before written history
there is no record of it
but empaths tremble with clicking teeth upon approach
