Blood Creek 2006

Wirth arrives at the Wollner home

In 1936, Richard Wirth, a German professor, is welcomed into the Wollner family home in West Virginia under the pretense of scholarly hospitality. The Wollners believe he is harmless and merely visiting, but Wirth's true identity and goal soon become apparent. A tense atmosphere grows as their guest's hidden motives threaten the family.

Wirth is revealed as a Nazi occultist seeking a Viking runestone

Wirth's real purpose is disclosed: he is a Nazi occultist who intends to use a buried Viking runestone for evil. The family learns that his arrival is part of a larger, sinister scheme to further the Nazi regime's occult goals. Fear and distrust settle in as the truth sinks in.

Wirth is trapped in the basement and a ritual begins

The Wollners decide to stop him by imprisoning him in their basement. They bind him through a ritual that requires frequent human sacrifices, attempting to weaken the dangerous intruder. The basement becomes a prison where Wirth's power is deliberately sapped.

Wirth's power is weakened; the family becomes his captors

The ritual leaves Wirth drained and subdued, while the Wollners take on the roles of captors and caretakers who must restrain his influence. The family remains bound to his fate, living under the shadow of his occult plans. The dynamic cements a twisted, decades-long arrangement.

Decades pass with the Wollners bound to Wirth

Decades pass as the Wollners stay bound to the basement, acting as both captors and reluctant servants to Wirth. Their own lives are shaped by the constant threat and the ritual's grip. The secret survives through the ages, though its grasp is steadily fading.

Victor reappears after a camping trip disappearance (2007)

In 2007, Evan Marshall's older brother Victor suddenly reappears after having disappeared during a camping trip in rural West Virginia. Victor claims he has escaped his captors and survived Wirth's influence. The brothers realize they must confront the Wollners and the threat in the farmhouse.

The brothers return to the Wollner farm to confront the threat

Victor and Evan plan revenge and travel back to the Wollner farm to confront the family and the threat inside. The Wollners warn them about Wirth and his power, urging them to stay away or beware. The confrontation is set against a backdrop of fear and old secrets.

Wirth emerges and begins terrorizing the farm

Before the brothers can fully stage their confrontation, Wirth emerges from the cellar and begins terrorizing the farm. He demonstrates his occult power and makes clear his intent to complete his long-running plan. The family and brothers realize he is the central danger.

Wirth explains the Victor escape was anticipated

Wirth reveals that Victor's escape was not a lucky break but a calculated move he anticipated to keep Victor coming back. He admits he let Victor go on purpose to ensure his eventual liberation and the brothers' entanglement. The revelation reframes the brothers' mission and their chances.

The brothers decapitate Wirth; the Wollners age and die

The brothers manage to poison and decapitate Wirth, delivering a fatal blow to the occult threat. In the aftermath, the Wollners rapidly age and die, their centuries-long hold breaking as the source of their power vanishes. The farm is left in a fragile, uncertain quiet.

The youngest Wollner warns of a wider Nazi network

Before she dies, the youngest Wollner tells Evan that Heinrich Himmler has sent eight more Nazi agents to different farms. The revelation broadens the scope of the danger beyond their property. It hints at a network that will require future action.

Evan discovers a map showing other Nazi targets

Evan discovers a map hidden under the farm indicating other farms where Nazi agents are operating. The map confirms that Wirth is part of a wider deployment. It sets the stage for a cross-farm confrontation.

Evan resolves to stop the Nazi agents

Motivated by the map and the revelation, Evan resolves to head out to the other farms to stop the Nazi agents and dismantle their operations. He steels himself for a perilous pursuit across rural areas. The mission expands beyond West Virginia.

Victor returns home; Evan heads out

Victor returns to his own family, while Evan departs to pursue the eight remaining Nazi agents at other locations. The story ends with Evan taking up the fight beyond the Wollner farm. The balance of power has shifted, but the threat remains alive.
