13 days of Halloween is a production of I-Heart Radio Blumhouse Television and

grim and mild from Aaron Mankey. Headphones recommended, listener discretion

advised. I'm going to Greetings friend. My deepest apologies for startling you. I wanted to get the measure of you before you knew I was looking.

You can tell a lot about a body when that body doesn't know it's being studied.

Yes, of course you can.

At Heavy Red, calm. you can be at heavy rain come I hope that your journey wasn't too arduous the weather

here can be rather unforgiving this time of year. Though truth be told, I was never worried

about you finding your way. As they say here, all roads lead to the manor, no matter where you roam, you will find this to be true.

This my friend is Hawthorne Manor. I am its caretaker, the caretaker, if you wish.

Impressive, is it not? Ah, I know that look well, my friend. You cannot fully understand what it is that you are beholding.

It's quite natural. Hawthorne Manor is something of an architectural anomaly.

Though austere, even savagely so at first glance,

you cannot help but notice the quiet winds here

that seems to permeate the structure.

Why the cupola at the apex of the main wind?

The dome thing on the roof with all the windows.

You see it.

It was said to have been constructed specifically for the daughter of the architect,

at first as a playroom, and then later,

as her own infirmary. Some have reported seeing a shade

past the windows late at night, back and forth and patient solitude. At any right, because of the strange blend of

architectural styles that this massive house possesses it has the quality of feeling both timeless and as standing outside of time.
