The Harrisville Exclusion Zone

[APPALACHIA OBSERVATION & CONTAINMENT INITIATIVE] Incident Report #: #6721-G | Anomaly Class: Location: ████ — ███, West Virginia Date of Incident: █/█/ 2025 Reporting Officer: ███ This report concerns the ongoing situation in the unmapped town of Harrisville, located within a remote valley in ███ County, West Virginia. The town has been designated Zone 12B following sustained exposure to anomalous influence believed to be connected to a Kappa-Omega class entity (codename: Glimmer). These anomalies are non-physical and remain uncontained. Affected individuals exhibit pronounced pacifistic behavior, elevated emotional vulnerability, and complete behavioral reversals in previously hostile populations. Harrisville was, until recently, known in archived state and federal records as a severely isolationist and racially antagonistic community. Historical documents reference organized anti-government sentiment, presence of extremist symbolism, and at least two unprosecuted acts of racially motivated violence (1993, 2001). Atypical behavioral shifts began shortly after the arrival of one ████ ███, a retired Methodist preacher previously involved in Incident ████, wherein he encountered a Glimmer entity on private farmland.
