> *A story about shamanism in Thailand.*

## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rural Thailand, monsoon dusk, a single lit candle gutters on a family altar.

A shaman’s household discovers their ancestral spirit may inhabit one of them, only to watch the candle snuff itself and the mirrors weep black oil.

A folk-horror cousin to Jenkins’ The Babadook, minus the therapy jargon.

**Mood tags**: dread, paranoid, slow-burn
