Haunted Orphanage Novels & Stories

D card. "The number you are calling does not exist in the directory..." came through the phone and Bella frowned on the bad luck struck on her. "Nothing is helping for me to get rid of you. You are like a stubborn stain, refusing to go away." She stopped her car for a moment beside an electric pole and inclined her seat backwards to take a rest, when she suddenly caught the sight of an orphanage that almost was misunderstood by her as a haunted house, due to lack of funds for renovating its walls it looked like an abandoned pile of bricks. But on seeing the sign saying, 'The Divine's Kin Orphanage', her tensions washed away at the knock of an idea.

Hector was like a father figure to Hunter. Hunter grew up in an orphanage where he received zero affection. In the orphanage the social workers and nuns refused to give the children supper if they misbehaved during the day, and as a result, Hunter slept hungry most nights because he kept getting into trouble. But he could deal with an empty stomach even if it were three or four consecutive nights, he eventually got used to it. He worked it out, if he didn't think about the rumbling stomach, he'd be fine until breakfast was served the next morning. What he couldn't get used to was Miss Jackson, who was the child psychologist.

Hazel was playing games with the kids, and she really liked them. She learned that there were about ten-odd children in the orphanage, who were abandoned there because of gender, or because of physical defects or some congenital diseases which were the most difficult to be treated. The oldest of these children was 15 years old, the youngest was five years old. The five-year-old was the very first girl that Hazel had met, named Sherry, who was also everyone’s darling. All of the kids were incredibly sensible, and Hazel loved them with all her heart.

For better or worse. Through the crack in the window, an engine rumbled up the orphanage drive. I dropped my small rucksack to the floor and crept toward the noise. Outside, a sleek, black Mercedes pulled up to the front of the orphanage entrance. The car looked out of place amongst the decaying stone of the building, and the man that emerged from the vehicle did too.

Far in the mountains of Georgia, nestled behind the overgrown remnants of a monastery, stood a small, ivy-covered orphanage built centuries ago by priests who once held dominion over forgotten spirits. The children inside — barely thirty of them — were descendants of bloodlines that once helped seal the darkness now awakening again. Tonight, it was quiet. Until the trees began to bleed. At exactly midnight, the wind howled, not with air — but with whispers. The door opened without hands.

Dante said. "There’s one thing you should know," Evelyn said, reaching into her pocket. She pulled out a final, small envelope. "The twelve orphans... they aren't the only ones. The project had a second location. In America. A place called 'The Orchard.'" Dante stopped, his hand on the car door. He looked at the envelope, then at Bella’s face on his phone screen. The labyrinth was never truly gone. It just changed its name. "Not tonight, Mother," Dante said, taking the envelope but not opening it. "Tonight, the orphans are just children. And the Orchard can wait for the morning."

A thorough investigation exposed his dark connections, stretching into several corrupt state contracts and hidden accounts. Authorities stormed the orphanage her mother had opened illegally—licenses forged, documents fabricated. Children neglected, some undocumented. Charges of fraud, neglect, and child endangerment followed swiftly. The media branded it “The Orphanage Scandal,” and her mother’s name was dragged through every headline in the country. For the first time in years, Antonia’s name was no longer attached to their disgrace. It was theirs to carry now.

Zara sat very still after the investigator left, the audio file sitting on her phone like something with weight and heat. She had known, walking into this, that the truth would be ugly. She had prepared herself for ugly. But this this was something else entirely. This reached back further than stolen companies and burned houses and a little girl’s lost sight. This reached all the way back to the beginning. To a baby. To an orphanage gate. To every morning of her childhood she had spent wondering why nobody had wanted her.

, Stella was listening to music and leisurely drinking coffee while Neil was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, flipping through the heroes' comics that Stella had given to him. Sheldon came over and knocked on their door. "Come in," Stella said as she put down her cup. "They confessed. It turns out the orphanage acts as an intermediary that sells organs to the black market. Dianne also admitted that she had beaten a child to death," Sheldon stated. "Right. How about the children in the orphanage then?" Stella asked worriedly. "Director Vann has reported everything to the State Mayor, and they will immediately send some people over to take care of the children," Sheldon said.

Until it all disappeared. One morning, the whispers started. The funding for their orphanage was pulled. The private donors withdrew without warning. Within weeks, the place he called home was shuttered. Children were split up, sent off to unfamiliar homes, cold institutions with less oversight and even less compassion. Elias found himself in a hellhole disguised as a sanctuary. The beatings started early. First from the older boys, then the staff who turned a blind eye—or worse. No books. No computers. No more teachers praising his mind. Just survival.
