The Old Widow's Watchtower
An abandoned ruin southwest of town, this crumbling structure is shrouded in mystery and fear.
Locals whisper of "The Hollow Eater," a sinister spirit said to haunt its depths.
Once a sentinel's post, it now stands as a hollowed relic of its former purpose, overgrown and dangerous.
Parents warn their children to stay away, spinning tales of those who disappeared after entering its shadowy remains.
The tower is a reminder of the town’s darker past and the secrets it may still guard.

Purpose / Function
The Old Widow's Watchtower was initially built as a sentinel post, serving as a lookout and warning station for incoming threats from the surrounding area.
Its strategic location made it vital for early town defenses.
However, its original intent shifted over time, briefly serving as a prison for captured criminals or a waypoint for travelers.
Once the town expanded and other fortifications were established, the tower fell into disuse, its maintenance neglected.
Today, it stands as a decaying monument to a bygone era, overshadowed by local myths and superstitions.
