Don’t Go There

story-1

  • A small community had a rumour that an old abandoned mansion sat at the edge of the woods. A affluent family reportedly used to reside there before disappearing one day without a trace.
  • A group of friends chose to tour the old estate in spite of the rumours. They sensed a peculiar presence as they walked through the squeaky front door. The only sound was their footsteps resonating along the deserted hallways in the dense, heavy air.
  • They were walking down the dim hallways when they abruptly heard a piercing scream coming from the second floor. As the gang finally made it to the top landing of the stairs, they discovered a room with a locked door.
  • The group attempted to break down the door as screaming could be heard coming from behind it. They were finally successful in forcing it open after numerous futile efforts.
  • But what they discovered surprised them.
  • The ghostly figure of a woman with otherworldly-lit eyes was standing in front of them. She screamed bloody murder and vanished into thin air.
  • With their hearts racing with panic, the group of pals departed the estate as soon as possible. They never returned to that location after that day. Yet for many more years to come, the village was still plagued by the legend of the ancient home.

Story - 2

    • Sarah has a natural attraction to deserted areas. She was captivated by something about the abandoned and deteriorating. She therefore knew she had to investigate an old, abandoned property on the outskirts of town.
    • At dusk, when the sky was an unsettling colour of orange, she arrived at the house. The house was gloomy and frightening, its windows boarded up and the door dangling off its hinges. Sarah experienced a sensation of fear as she approached the house, but she ignored it.
    • Sarah could feel the weight of the mansion suffocating her in the stuffy, dense air. She proceeded from room to room, her flashlight highlighting the degradation and devastation. The air became cooler and she sensed a presence as she ventured further into the house.
    • While she made an effort, Sarah was unable to get rid of the sensation. She abruptly heard a sound coming from the upstairs. She could hear a weak whisper saying, "Don't go there," but she could still make it out.
    • Sarah hesitated, but curiosity eventually won out. Her headlamp shook as she ascended the steps. The air was chilly and she could feel the presence getting stronger.
    • She noticed a door that was just ajar when she got to the top of the stairs. Sarah hesitated before opening it. She was shocked by what she discovered within.
    • In front of a mirror, there was a figure standing in the shadows. It slowly whirled around to face her, exposing a face contorted with pain. With her heart beating, Sarah fled the house as it let forth a spine-chilling scream.
    • Sarah never went back into abandoned areas after that day. She was unable to get rid of the feeling that she was being watched or the recollection of the deformed image in the mirror.
    • Story - 3

    • There was a myth about an ancient temple buried deep within the jungle on the world of Alveria. According to legend, anyone who entered would never leave.
    • A group of archaeologists set out to locate the temple despite the cautions. They hacked their way through the impenetrable forest until they eventually located the entryway. The temple was old, covered in moss and plants, and its stones had become smooth with time.
    • The team sensed a sinister presence watching them as they looked around the temple. The only sound was their footsteps resonating off the walls and the air felt oppressively heavy.
    • They came upon an altar as they entered the inner sanctum of the temple. An odd, blazing crystal was resting on the altar. The group was mesmerised by its beauty and drew nearer to have a closer look.
    • The crystal suddenly broke, and a dark mist entered the space. The group could sense something pulling at their spirits as they were engulfed in darkness. The temple had other ideas when they attempted to get away.
    • The squad members vanished one by one as the darkness engulfed them. Lila, the last survivor, was imprisoned inside the temple, her body and mind deformed by its curse.
    • Years later, visitors to Alveria would narrate tales of a cursed temple tucked away in the dense forest. They issued a warning to others not to enter the building out of concern for the curse that still lingered there.
