## Resource

Something ancient has awakened. In Ancient Curse, the Doctor and Freja arrive in the quiet English village of Balamsdean during the late 1960s—just as a shadow falls across the land. Crops are failing, livestock are found mutilated, and dread hangs thick in the air. As the villagers prepare for their annual Festival of the Way, paranoia and superstition spread like wildfire. What begins as a simple investigation soon unravels into a web of secrets, possession, and madness. An ancient evil stirs beneath the surface... and it's about to demand its due. 🕯️ Classic Gothic horror meets time-travelling science fiction in this chilling new Doctor Who story. 📅 Set in 1960s rural England👁️ Themes: ancient evil, religious paranoia, demonic influence🎬 Written by Dominic Lyne www.dwad.net
