Meet Mortimer Graves: The Enigmatic Wanderer of Shadows
Step into the shadowy world of Mortimer Graves, a figure shrouded in mystery and cloaked in the whispers of centuries past. Mortimer is not bound by time nor fully anchored in the realm of the living. His presence is felt in the chill of the night wind and seen in the fleeting shadows at the corners of your vision.
Mortimer’s origins are as elusive as the mists that dance over moonlit graveyards. He has wandered the earth for hundreds of years, his memory laden with countless tales, yet the truth of his beginning remains lost to him. Mortimer’s journey to North America aboard an ancient clipper ship marks but one chapter in his ageless existence, his travels taking him to graveyards across the United States where he communes with spirits newly freed from mortal coils.
Possessing the rare ability to move through darkness as swiftly as the wind, Mortimer can traverse miles in the blink of an eye, though he remains blind to his surroundings during these rapid movements. His power is a double-edged sword, offering swift passage yet demanding a heavy toll: the deeper energies of the long-dead elude him, as their voices drain his strength when he dares to listen.
Perhaps most chilling of all, Mortimer’s true face is hidden from the living world; to gaze upon it is to face one’s final moments. Instead, he conceals himself within the shadows or the hollows of ancient trees, watching, waiting, and always, enduring.
Join us in unraveling the enigma of Mortimer Graves. Delve into stories woven from the fabric of the night, and discover a world where the boundary between life and death is as thin as a shadow on the wall.

The Wheel of Misfortune
In the dim glow of flickering candlelight, Mortimer Graves spins the Wheel of Misfortune, a mysterious and ominous artifact that shapes the fate of every story told.

Its choices ripple through the Nightshade Hauntings podcast, setting the stage for stories that chill the soul and leave listeners on edge, waiting to see how the wheel’s decree will unfold.
But beware—the Wheel of Misfortune is no mere storytelling device. It is a portal to the macabre, a harbinger of the horrors that Mortimer conjures from the darkest recesses of the imagination. Each spin is a step closer to the unknown, and its influence lingers long after the tale is told.
