The Haunting of Rumah Hantu
It was a cool evening in the bustling city of Jakarta, Indonesia. The city was alive with the hum of traffic, the call of street vendors, and the bright lights that pierced through the haze of smog. But amidst the life of this sprawling urban landscape stood a house that time had forgotten, or perhaps, one that no one dared remember.

Whispers of Velwadi
Tucked between the folds of the Sahyadri hills was the forgotten village of Velwadi. With moss-covered rooftops and crooked banyan trees, it looked like a place suspended in time. People spoke of Velwadi in hushed tones, not because of nostalgia, but fear.

A Scary Ghost Story
The Shadows That Whisper Ella moved into the old, creaky house at the edge of town on a cold October night. The kind of house that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, hidden behind overgrown trees and a gate made of rusty iron. But she didn't care because it was perfect for her because it was quiet, private, and away from the city's noise. The first few days were overly tranquil. Ella spent her time settling in, exploring the house, and unpacking. An eerie atmosphere was created by the dim light filtering through the dusty windows, the walls sighed from the wind, and the floors creaked beneath her feet. But she didn't start noticing strange things until the fifth night. It began with a faint whispering in the dark. She initially attributed it to the house shifting or to the wind blowing through wall cracks. But as they got louder, the whispers became obvious. "Help me..." With a pounding heart, Ella froze in her bed. She told herself it was just her imagination. However, the whispers persisted, becoming increasingly distinct and desperate. They came back every night at midnight. She tried to ignore them and sleep through the numbing shivers, but the sound was always there, sneaking into her dreams and staying with her even when she was asleep. Ella couldn't take it anymore one night. She ventured into the basement of the house, the location of the whispers, armed with a flashlight and trembling hands. The stairs creaked under her weight, each step echoing in the thick silence. The air was damp and suffocating at the bottom, and the shadows ran unnaturally along the walls. She noticed a faded door that was half hidden behind a pile of old furniture as she reached the far corner of the basement. The whispers were louder now, as if calling her, pleading for her attention. Ella took a deep breath before opening the door. Her blood froze as she discovered what was inside. The only thing in the room was a worn-out rocking chair in the middle, which was small and empty. However, the person seated in the chair, not the chair itself, was what frightened her. a pale, gaunt woman whose face was obscured by her long, tangled hair. She murmured to herself as she rocked back and forth with her bony fingers clenching the chair's arms. “Please… help me…”
