Then, the apparitions begin.Subtle at first, but soon there's no doubt about it, he's seeing ghosts, spirits, the undead.

But, he believes he has proof that the ghosts are very real, and that they are specifically haunting him.We join Ryan as he tends to the sick and injured in his hospitals' trauma bays, intensive care units, and operating rooms, all the while seeking to understand why he has become a target of the dead.

The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe is a cornerstone of Gothic horror and psychological suspense. First published in 1843, this chilling short story explores the depths of madness, obsession, and guilt.
