Danny Dennison

Daniel (Danny) Dennison is the sixteen year old protagonist of

story. He is the son of Ritchard Dennison and now deceased mother Julia Dennison. He and his father were forced to move away from their hometown of Jennifer, New Jersey because his father couldn't afford to pay the bills. They were evicted and had to move. They couldn't stay in Jennifer any longer. That is where his mother Julia was killed in a horrible car crash. He was getting into fights at school, and his father had lost his job. They moved to DarkeWater, Louisiana. His father believed that they could find a far away place for a new life. A fresh start. He was very unhappy to be where he was. Mostly, his anger was caused by the death of his mother. He was not real close to her. Now that she is gone, he regrets the fact that he never spent alot of time with just her. But he also is upset because he does not really like his father, and hates the house he must live in. The people are odd, buildings are run down, and this particular home he is in, has some unfortunate history behind it. Danny finds some unusual goings on inside this building. This abandoned plantation building belonged to the Denyon's, a slave trader that built it in the eighteen hundreds. Danny first notices something strange when finding twisting footprints in the dust on the floor, after hearing from town mayor Hector Evillian that the house had been empty for many many years.

Later Years
At the end of Dark Water, Danny Dennison is found as the only survivor of an immense town wide extermanation. All other citizens are found with strange wounds that cannot be caused by any known weapon or person. Danny is found alive, and covered in blood. Some his own, but much of it is analyzed as his father Ritchard Dennison's blood. Danny was found kneeling next to his father's corpse. The body was covered in blood. He had many gashes, and one severe puncture in the stomach just below the ribcage. They did not know what happened, but authorities believed Danny killed his father. Eventhough possessed Danny only injured him, and Evillian stabbed him through the stomach with a sharp piece of debris. (A rod or metal stake like object.) Danny was taken and eventually put into a psychiatric hospital for continously mumbling to himself about strange creatures that attacked him, and ghosts that constantly harrassed him, and of a girl named Aubrey which he loved that died. Danny was there for twleve years until someone came looking for him. Detective Nelson Strohmeyer came looking for Danny in search of answers for what happened
