As winter began in New Jersey, thick fog covered the town every morning, making it hard to see and creating an eerie silence. People started whispering about a mysterious figure that appeared in the fog, watching from the shadows.

The rumors caught the attention of a paranormal investigation team led by Eren. They quickly traveled to New Jersey, eager to solve the mystery. After interviewing locals, they learned the figure often appeared at daybreak, near abandoned houses or empty streets. They searched the internet for similar stories and showed pictures to Isabelle, a woman who had seen the figure. However, none of the pictures matched what she had seen, making the mystery even more intriguing.

Determined to uncover the truth, the team researched extensively in libraries and online but found nothing useful. Finally, they decided to install cameras and motion detectors near the spots where the figure had been seen. Dave, one of the team members, was tasked with monitoring the equipment, while the rest explored the area at daybreak. Unfortunately, their efforts revealed no new clues.

Back at their base, Dave noticed something strange: two cameras were malfunctioning, showing blurry footage even though their circuits were fine. These cameras were located near two abandoned houses. When Dave told the team, Eren concluded that the figure might be connected to those houses.

After discussing their findings, the team decided to take a break and relax. They went to a party, enjoyed themselves, and returned late at night. As they drove through the foggy streets, they saw a drunk man talking to himself. "I feel bad for you, staying alone in this fog," he said, "but I need to go home to my family." Then he thanked someone - though no one was around.

The team watched in shock as the man began walking away, only for his head to suddenly fall from his body. Horrified, they ran in the opposite direction, desperate to escape. But in their panic, they unknowingly moved closer to the figure. The fog grew thicker, their breaths grew shorter, and they collapsed one by one. None of them were ever seen again.

The incident terrified the remaining residents, and soon everyone abandoned the town. Over time, New Jersey became a ghost town, its streets lost in the endless fog, haunted by the mystery that was never solved.
