I am alone, there is no one around but me and I haven’t seen any trace of any kind of human-like creature, since the beginning of my journey. I am traveling to a town in northern canada approximately 1,300 miles north of the canadian border. I began my expedition 392 days ago, a little over a year ago. From what I know about Yellowknife, it’s nothing special. Just another destination on the map. There is an urban area of Yellowknife, but the rest is all prairieland. This is honestly a great place though, it may not seem like much but it’s exactly what I’m looking for. Peaceful, quiet, rural, but also just a hop, skip and a jump away from an Urban area.

On my 13 day at the castle I was sitting in front of a crackling fire. I am wrapped in a robe I found in the 7th floor bathroom when I hear it. I little girl’s voice saying “hello Matt”. I scream how does she know my name, who is she? She is attached to chains, and before I could say anything she is gone. This was just the beginning of a series of weird events. I continue to stay in the castle, and as I explore more I find clues on, whose name I didn’t know at the time, Rosemary’s
