Caddo Lake, Texas – A wave of unease and fear has gripped the small community surrounding Caddo Lake following the emergence of a recurring, spectral phenomenon witnessed by multiple residents and members of the film crew working on the independent horror production, “Caddo Lake.” Starting late yesterday evening, reports began flooding local authorities and the production company, detailing the appearance of what witnesses describe as “faces” flickering around the perimeter of the lake, specifically centered around the existing, meticulously constructed campfire set used for filming.

The initial sightings, dismissed by some as tricks of the light or fatigue-induced hallucinations, quickly escalated as the faces became increasingly distinct and appeared to repeat patterns. Witnesses report seeing fleeting images of individuals – predominantly young men and women – frozen in expressions of distress, often accompanied by what appears to be silent screams. The faces vanish as quickly as they appear, leaving behind an unsettling stillness.

“It’s… it’s like they’re trapped,” stated local diner owner, Martha Jenkins, who was among the first to report the activity. “I saw one clear as day, just staring right at me. Like it was trying to tell me something. Gave me the chills, I tell you.”

Production company representative, David Harding, confirmed that filming has been temporarily suspended. “We’re taking this very seriously,” he stated during a brief press conference. “Our priority is the safety and well-being of our crew and the local community. We’ve contacted the Texas Department of Public Safety, and they’re conducting a preliminary investigation. We’re also consulting with local historians and folklorists to explore any potential historical or indigenous connections to the area.”

Adding to the mystery, several crew members have reported experiencing vivid, unsettling dreams since the phenomenon began. Lead actor, Caleb Walker, who plays the film’s protagonist, described a particularly disturbing recurring dream. “I keep seeing a young woman… she’s crying, but her face is just… blurred. Like a watercolor painting that’s been washed away. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever felt to genuine terror.”

The Texas Department of Public Safety has dispatched a team of investigators, including paranormal specialists, to the site. While no official explanation has been offered, speculation is rife, ranging from natural atmospheric anomalies to, according to some local residents, the restless spirits of those who perished in the lake’s history. The investigation is ongoing.
