The Whispering Wall of Blackwood Manor

Uncovering the dark secret

By Asfa ImtiazPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

As I walked into the old mansion, I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine. The air was thick with the scent of decay and rot. I had always been drawn to the mysterious and unknown, and this mansion was rumored to be one of the most haunted places in the country.

As I explored the dusty halls, I stumbled upon a door hidden behind a tattered curtain. The door creaked as I pushed it open, revealing a room filled with old newspapers and photographs. My eyes widened as I saw the headlines: 'Family of Five Found Dead in Mysterious Tragedy.'

I couldn't believe it. This was the very mansion where the tragedy had occurred. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized I was standing in the exact spot where the family had met their fate.

But it was what I found next that left me speechless. A small diary belonging to the youngest child, a girl named Emily. As I flipped through the pages, I discovered a dark secret. The family had been hiding a terrible truth, one that had ultimately led to their downfall.

Tears streamed down my face as I read Emily's final entry, written just hours before the tragedy. 'I wish someone would save us,' she had written. 'I wish someone would hear our screams.'

I felt a wave of sadness wash over me, knowing that I was the only one who had heard their screams, years too late. I left the mansion that day with a heavy heart, knowing that some secrets were better left unspoken.
