The Court Villa Haunting

A Holy Lake Ghost Short Story

By: James Farris

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A skeletal demon stalks a Louisiana golf course.
A groundskeeper's job—and life—hang in the balance.
Only faith can survive what teenagers have unleashed.

When Salty calls Holy Lake Investigation about violent supernatural attacks terrorizing his maintenance crew at Court Villa Country Club, Catholic-sanctioned paranormal investigators Hibbs and Ling expect another routine blessing. Instead, they discover a malevolent demon feeding on guilt and growing stronger each night—summoned by local teenagers using an ancient bone wand hidden in the building's walls.

Armed with blessed weapons, holy oil, and Louisiana know-how, the investigation team must navigate occult rituals, violent manifestations, and Salty's own dark secrets. As the entity's attacks escalate from broken lightbulbs to attempted murder, the race is on to destroy the cursed artifact before the demon claims its first soul. But in the cypress swamps where evil runs deep, some doors to hell are harder to close than others.

When the creature wraps its claws around Salty's throat, will decades of Catholic training and Southern Gothic courage be enough—or will the Louisiana darkness claim another victim to feed its insatiable hunger?
