In the first episode of Haunted Holyoke, a group of teens begins to notice that something in their city isn’t right.

After a strange encounter in an alley, they come face to face with something they can’t fully explain, a presence that doesn’t just threaten them physically, but seems to interfere with memory itself. Moments slip. Details don’t stick. And the more they try to make sense of it, the less certain they become.

As they regroup, they turn to a late-night ally for help and start piecing together what might be happening, including a connection to a missing person no one seems to be talking about clearly.

The city feels off. Too quiet. Like something is being erased in real time.

By the end of the episode, the group makes a plan to dig deeper, even if it means going somewhere they’re not sure they’ll be welcome.

In Holyoke, the problem isn’t just what’s hiding in the dark.

It’s what’s disappearing in plain sight.

A group of players in a role-playing game called 'Kids on Bikes' encounter a forgetter and experience memory loss. They seek refuge at the witch's house and discover the city's lights are guiding them. They engage in a montage learning scene to uncover more about the forgetter and the city's mysterious lights. The group discovers the Holy Grove and encounters a mysterious figure who reveals the city's sickness and the role of the forgetters. The locket leads them to the Grove, where they encounter a Wampanoag girl and learn about the city's imbalance. Music by Luisranm on Pixabay
