A GHOST WILL WALK FROM HERE
It is 1999. Urban spelunker Brittany Loughry has an unusual encounter while trespassing in the Weston Hospital. Desperate to continue investigating the shuttered mental health facility, Brittany blackmails local law enforcement, who are themselves under investigation for crimes within the hospital.
A GHOST CHASES THE HORIZON braids Brittany’s story with others who intersected with the hospital across time: Henrietta Tidewater, a Black patient falsely detained at the facility in 1905; Eugene Spangold, a ne’er-do-well farmer who self-commits to the hospital in the 1930s with the delusion that he must raze the building on presidential orders; and Neil Hutchence, who tries to uncover Henrietta’s identity in the twenty-first century after seeing her name in a serial killer’s diary.
