Publisher's Synopsis
Mantradio Parade (Paranormal) is an intriguing and eerie paranormal tale that explores the mysterious events surrounding a once-thriving, yet now abandoned, festival known as the Mantradio Parade. The story centers around a curious protagonist who, drawn by strange rumors and ghostly legends, investigates the long-forgotten parade and its connection to a chilling supernatural force. What was once a celebration of music, lights, and joy has transformed into a spectral enigma, with unsettling occurrences and haunted memories that linger in the shadows.
The story begins when the protagonist hears whispers about the Mantradio Parade-a parade that was held annually in a small town. It was famous for its grand floats, intricate costumes, and an air of joyous revelry. However, the parade abruptly stopped many years ago, and its sudden cessation has never been fully explained. Local folklore suggests that the last parade ended in tragedy, with participants and spectators vanishing mysteriously, leaving behind only eerie echoes of the festivities. Since then, no one has dared to speak of it without fear of invoking something far darker.
The protagonist, a journalist, historian, or perhaps a skeptic intrigued by the town's strange history, decides to investigate the truth behind the parade and its disturbing legacy. What begins as an academic interest quickly turns into an obsession, as the protagonist learns that the parade was not just a simple local tradition but something far more otherworldly. As they dive deeper, they uncover clues that point to a mysterious force-a dark entity or spiritual energy-that became tied to the parade's origins.
As the protagonist delves into the history of the parade, they learn of a group of organizers, performers, and attendees who were deeply involved in strange rituals tied to an ancient belief system. The rituals, meant to invoke good fortune or to ward off evil, slowly escalated into darker, more dangerous practices as the parade grew in scale. It seems the parade itself became a medium-a conduit for forces that should never have been summoned.
The more the protagonist investigates, the more they begin to experience unsettling occurrences. They hear distorted music from the past, faint laughter or whispers echoing through empty streets, and catch glimpses of people in strange, outdated costumes walking in the shadows. The closer they get to the truth, the more they sense that something is watching them, following their every move. It becomes clear that the Mantradio Parade has not faded into memory, but instead exists in a liminal space between the physical world and the supernatural realm.
As the protagonist continues their search for answers, they discover that the parade's influence hasn't fully disappeared. People who were involved in the last parade have been found in odd, unexplainable states-some completely vanished, while others are driven mad by the haunting memories. The spirits of the lost parade-goers remain trapped in a cycle of endless repetition, reliving the same tragic night in which they perished, and their memories seem to bleed into the present day. The protagonist's attempts to uncover the truth only seem to bring them closer to the supernatural force that still lingers, as if they are being pulled into a sinister parade of their own.
