Intro. Legends along Hollow Road speak of a pale figure who appears when the fog thickens and the wind pushes dead leaves across the pavement. They call her the Lantern Mother—a ghostly woman who stands beside the road, one hand resting gently on her swollen belly. Travelers say she never speaks and never moves to harm anyone. She simply watches the darkness of the road, waiting… as if for something that has not yet arrived
