Chapter 1: Ghost Tales:

Hank Castle's POV:

"Years ago, there was a clipper ship. It crashed against nearby rocks. The whole crew then drowned after mistaking a campfire for a lighthouse while sailing through an unearthly fog." As I finished my story, and that's when paranormal activity started occurring around the town.

Father Maroni's POV:

I my grandfather's diary, it tells the story of how Gotham was founded. In 1880, the 6 founders of Gotham, including my grandfather, deliberately wrecked a clipper ship named the Elizabeth Dane, so that its wealthy, leprosy-afflicted owner Blake would not establish a leper colony nearby. The conspirators used the gold plundered from the ship to establish the town. I'm going to keep this to myself. This is one story that cannot be told to the public.

To Be Continued

It takes place in the Advanceverse and later in the Ultimate Advanceverse. In the next chapter, the people of Gotham prepare to celebrate their founding fathers.
