The Haunted Mansion
Once upon a time in a small town, there was a mansion that was said to be haunted. The house was known for its strange occurrences and mysterious activities that were often heard and seen around the property.
One night, a group of friends decided to go exploring the mansion. They were curious about the stories and wanted to see if they could find any clues about the supernatural activities that were going on.
As they entered the mansion, they began to hear unexplained noises and see shadowy figures moving around. They began to feel uneasy and were starting to wonder if they should turn back when they heard a voice echo through the hallways.
"Come closer," the voice said. The group of friends became more nervous, but one by one, they followed the voice. They passed through several rooms filled with strange objects and artifacts, and eventually came to a room filled with cobwebs and a large portrait of a man with a terrifying expression.
That's when the voice came again, "You have come to see what cannot be seen. You have braved the dark corners of my house. Now, you must pay the price." With that, the lights in the mansion suddenly went out and the group of friends felt something grab onto them, pulling them towards the portrait.
In their panic, they managed to break free and run out of the mansion as fast as they could. They never went back, and the mansion remained locked up and abandoned, with only the stories of its terrifying past to tell.
