Psychotic Breaks or Parasitic Siege? Reports of "Ghost Possession" - Legione Sumus - 02-04-2026
As the snow reaches the third-story windows of the Arbat District, a secondary crisis is emerging within the freezing, darkened apartment blocks. While the Ministry of Emergency Situations struggles with the structural collapse of older buildings under the 20-meter snowpack, a terrifying medical phenomenon is targeting Moscow’s female population—specifically those registered as "Sensitive" or "Channelers".
What was initially dismissed as "cabin fever" or hypothermia-induced delirium has taken a darker, more uniform turn. Witnesses trapped in the Presnensky District describe a "shifting mist" that appears to move against the wind, slipping through ventilation shafts and crushed window seals.
Whispers among the displaced suggest that a creature of myth and curse—is roaming the buried city.
"It wasn't a seizure," says Dmitri S., a survivor from a partially collapsed block on Tverskaya Street. "My sister was trying to use a small weave to keep the pipes from freezing. Suddenly, she went rigid. Her eyes rolled back, but she kept holding the Power. She started speaking in a voice that sounded like grinding ice—talking about 'Ages of Bronze' and 'Tablets of Stone.' She nearly burned the room down before she collapsed with a massive hemorrhage from her nose."
