As a child, he worked on a farm and cared for animals. During World War I, he was drafted as a private and served on the front lines for four months, forming a friendship with a fellow soldier named Johnson Ryans. Tragically, he was injured by an artillery strike during a charge, resulting in burns to half of his body; as he awoke in a war-torn area, he eventually found the corpse of Johnson nearby, whose head had been blown off his body by a machine gun. In a state of shock, he dragged his headless companion back to the trenches, where he refused to let go. Joseph was eventually taken to the Midfield Military Hospital after his wounds had been only superficially treated, still holding onto his friend's lifeless body. Just a day later, he succumbed to his infected injuries, leaving his restless spirit trapped within the walls of the military hospital.

Ghosts- In the supernatural realm, ghosts are viewed as spirits of those who haven't moved on to the afterlife, often due to unresolved feelings or strong connections to a place or person. Some remain where they died, while others are tied to specific objects. Although they can't physically move the item they are tied to, they can interact with and influence them in various ways. Ghosts are believed to remain until they find a way to move on and possess different abilities, such as moving objects, altering temperatures, and communicating through Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP). They may appear as precise figures, glowing orbs, or dark shapes based on their energy. Ghosts can move swiftly within their location and may appear or remain invisible to the living.

Location(The Midfield Military Hospital)- During World War I, the Midfield Military Hospital served injured soldiers returning from battle. After the war, it fell into neglect, becoming a haunting reminder of its past, with crumbling walls and broken windows overtaken by weeds. The Entrance Hall High ceilings sag and crack, while the damaged marble floor is covered in dust and debris from a fallen chandelier. Neglected military insignia hang on the walls, and a dusty reception desk stands beside toppled chairs. A chilly draft carries smells of mildew and old wood. Patient Wards Once populated by soldiers, the empty wards are chaotic, with rusted beds lacking mattresses and stained sheets on the floor. Faded colors and broken windows let in cold air, while faint bloodstains mar the wooden floors, interrupted only by the creaking of the structure. Surgical Theatre The surgical theater lies in ruins, with a rust-stained table and forgotten instruments. Shadows flicker under low-hanging lamps, and chipped tiles expose dark mortar. Empty cabinets stand open, and faded pictures of surgeons hint at lingering spirits. Recreation Room Once a refuge, it now contains overturned tables, broken games, and a rusting piano, with torn posters and debris contributing to the gloom. Hallways The narrow hallways smell of decay, with flickering lights casting shadows. Peeling wallpaper and open doors reveal forgotten items, while warped floors enhance the feeling of unease. Isolation Room Once a quarantine space, it's now cold and bare, with faint tally marks on the walls and uncomfortable beds lined up without mattresses. Morgue/Basement The basement is a grim place filled with cold air and metal drawers, some empty and others containing remnants of the deceased. Yellowed medical records and decay create an oppressive atmosphere. Underground Tunnels Dark and narrow, the tunnels extend beneath the hospital, featuring damp stone walls and occasional blocked areas. The faint sound of dripping water underscores the building's slow decay.
