Quillville
The Town That Shouldn’t Exist — And Yet Refuses to Leave.
✔️ Coming January 2026: The Caverns
A subterranean network tied to older rituals and vanishing townspeople.
[Caverns – Coming Soon]
WHAT LIVES HERE (LORE ELEMENTS)
Quillville is home to:
fractured timelines
unstable geography
haunted neighborhoods (Touched by Quillville)
generational curses
mysterious artifacts
corrupt founding families
The de la Rosa legacy (Roots of Rot)
unsolved disappearances
entities that always seem to be watching
Every region adds a new layer of horror — and new problems.
Stories, files, investigations, and zines expand the universe monthly.
HOW QUILLVILLE CONNECTS TO NOTHING ELSE
This is important for clarity.
Quillville is a Fictional Universe.
Haunted California is Real-World Paranormal Travel.
They do not connect yet.
Anything you think you see that looks like a connection is:
coincidence
misdirection
a hallucination
a Screaming Quill problem
or a timeline issue we refuse to acknowledge
The genuine crossover event will be revealed in March 2026 with Friday the Fifteenth. Until then, all worlds remain separate.
(Officially.)
✔️ Start Here: Elmwood House
The beating, haunted heart of Quillville. Family history. Corruption. Voices in the walls. The gateway to understanding the de la Rosas.
[Enter Elmwood House]
✔️ Then Explore: The Living Lakes
A region that won’t stop expanding. Something old, hungry, and restless lives beneath the surface. The Lakes Still Breathe
A recovered verse believed to belong to an early lake-watcher. Read aloud near water only if you’re prepared for an answer.
→ Read the Poem [Visit the Lakes]
✔️ Next: The Whispering Woods
Sentient trees. Moving paths. Secrets older than the town. The Woods decide who leaves.
[Enter the Woods]
✔️ Then: The Desert & The Resort
Sun-bleached ruins, abandoned highways, and a luxurious resort that absolutely did not get planning permission from anything mortal.

INTRO / WHAT IS QUILLVILLE?
Welcome to Quillville, a fictional town tucked between shifting geography, unstable timelines, and ghosts that don’t know how to mind their own business. It’s a place where:
the houses have opinions, the forest whispers, the lakes breathe
the roads wander, the residents lie, and the truth is never in the first draft of any story
Quillville and its surrounding regions form a sprawling horror universe that expands month by month — through stories, files, zines, interviews, and the Ghastly Gazette.
If you’re new, take a deep breath. You’ll lose it soon enough.

WORLD INTRODUCTION — PUBLIC-FACING LORE
A. The Quillville Contagion (Public Summary)The Quillville Contagion: “What Happened to Quillville?”
Quillville did not vanish — it leaked. According to scattered records, the town fractured after a ritual misalignment, releasing a slow, intelligent “contagion” that clings to memories, mirrors, and grief. Full analysis is stored in the restricted archives.
→ Read the full Contagion Doctrine in the Black Vault
B. The Dispersion of Elmwood (Public Summary)True Origin Story: The Dispersion
On the night of the Great Hayward Quake, Elmwood and its founding families disappeared. Some say they were taken. Others claim something else came through. Whatever crossed that night did not cross alone.
→ Full Dispersion File (Black Vault)
C. The Roots of the Rot (Public Teaser) Roots of the Rot
The delaRosa line arrived with no documentation, only a key, a crate of ritual tools, and a family ledger bound with wax. The full origins of their settlement remain sealed.

D. Child’s Chalkboard Rhyme
Scratched into a schoolroom slate deep beneath the caverns. The final line appears to rewrite itself.
→ View the Rhyme
E. Section Poem (if not Fresno-related)
A poem carved into the side of a broken pillar in the caves. Scholars disagree on whether the final stanza is a warning or an instruction.
