Town of Aisley

Long before the town of Aisley fell into decay and ghostly silence, there was a notorious group known as The Corbins Gang – a criminal outfit that haunted the town’s shadowy past and helped shape its dark history.

Origins and Rise

The Corbins Gang emerged in the early 1900s, founded by Jeb Corbin, a rugged, cunning man with a shadowy past. Jeb was a former railroad worker turned outlaw, known for his ruthlessness and strategic mind. He gathered a small band of outcasts, drifters, and disgruntled townsfolk, all drawn together by the promise of wealth and power.

The gang operated mainly in the backwoods and abandoned factories, specializing in smuggling, extortion, and stolen goods. They became masters at blending into the decaying landscape of the town of Aisley – using the abandoned mills and overgrown rail yards as hideouts and staging grounds for their illicit activities.

The Criminal Empire

By the 1920s, The Corbins Gang had expanded their influence, controlling much of the underground economy in the region. They ran illegal alcohol during Prohibition, ran protection rackets on local businesses, and were rumored to have ties to larger criminal syndicates across the South.

Their powers was maintained through fear and violence. They had a reputation for brutal enforcement, and townsfolk knew better than to cross them. Yet, despite their notoriety, they also maintained a strange, almost Robin Hood-like reputation among some locals – especially those who saw their defiance of laws as a form of rebellion against corrupt authorities.

The Downfall and Disappearance

The gang’s downfall began in the late 1930s. Law enforcement, increasingly aware of their influence, launched a series of raids and investigations. Tensions grew, and Jeb Corbin himself was eventually betrayed by a trusted lieutenant. A bloody shootout at the old Montgomery Textile Mill marked the gang’s last stand.

Jeb was killed in the firefight, and many of his lieutenants vanished or were arrested. Rumors say some members escaped into the wilderness or went into hiding, but the gang’s core was broken.

In the aftermath, the town of Aisley’s reputation was further tarnished, and the abandoned sites of the gang’s operations became haunted ground – rumored to be cursed, guarded by restless spirits of those lost in violence.

The Legacy and Myth

Over the decades, stories of The Corbins Gang grew darker and more mythic. Some say Jeb’s spirit still haunts the ruins of the old mill, eternally guarding the secrets of the gang’s hidden treasure – stashed somewhere in the backwoods or beneath the old factory floors. Others whisper that the gang’s influence never truly died, living in the shadows, watching, waiting for a chance to rise again.

Some recent stories speak of strange figures seen lurking near the abandoned sites at night, and of mysterious symbols carved into trees and walls – remnants of the gang’s last stand or perhaps their lingering curse. The story of The Corbins Gang is a tale of rebellion, violence, and ghostly vengeance – an integral part of the town of Aisley’s haunted legacy, whispering through the decay and shadows of a bygone era.
