Catriona
The Lost Wife & Mother
Once the heart of her small family, Catriona’s death left a void that neither her husband nor daughter can fill. But in the mists of Harrow Fen, she lingers, not as a ghost of fear, but as a memory made manifest. As the Lantern Man, she is both guide and test, calling her loved ones to remember what matters. Her presence is gentle, mournful, and powerful, a reminder that the dead may fade, but they never truly leave those who love them.
Evie
Grieving Daughter
Fifteen and untethered by the sudden death of her mother, Evie is caught between adolescence and the crushing gravity of real loss.

The Lantern Man
Phantom of the Fen
A figure of local legend, The Lantern Man is said to haunt the foggy stretches of Harrow Fen, luring the sorrowful and lost with a swaying green light. Cloaked in tattered robes and wielding a flickering lantern, his presence is both spectral and strangely serene. Though some dismiss the tale as rural superstition, others claim to have heard familiar voices in the mist, leading travelers astray. Whether a harbinger, a guide, or a ghost, The Lantern Man exists in the thin veil between memory and myth. Those who follow his light may never be the same.
