The Old Mansion
The old mansion on the hill had been abandoned for years, with rumors of strange happenings and mysterious deaths surrounding it. But when the Johnson family moved in, they didn't believe in any of that nonsense. After all, the price was right, and the house was big enough to accommodate their growing family.

A scary night
The small town of Willow Creek was once a peaceful and idyllic place, where the sound of rustling leaves and chirping birds filled the air. But that all changed when the ghost of a young girl began to haunt the town. No one knows how she died, but her restless spirit now rambles the streets, searching for the one who wronged her.

This is the story of the ghost of Willow Creek, and the fright she brought to its residents.

The Mirror's Deception: A Reflection That Wasn't My Own
It was just an ordinary day when I woke up and headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I stood in front of the mirror, I caught a glimpse of my reflection, but something was off. It took me a moment to realize that the person staring back at me wasn't me at all.

The Reflection
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn't my own. Once again, she stood on the other side. Smiling back at me. Although her smile seemed different today. It seemed to be a little... off, today. Behind her wasn't her usual floral pattern wallpaper like it always used to be. Instead, in place of the usual wallpaper I've grown used to see every day, was an open door to a whole new world. She just stood there. The reflection in the mirror right in front of me. Smile spread across her face. Thick dark brownish red lines had exited her eye sockets, falling down her cheeks until they reached the top of the top seam to her brightly colored white nightgown. Behind her I couldn't help but notice the colors looking brighter than ever. Usually, she was so dark. Darkened. Her hair. Her eyes. Her skin. Almost as if you couldn't own lightbulbs wherever she was. Dark. The only thing about this girl that wasn't dark was her nightgown. That brightly colored white nightgown. I always thought of it to be some sort of Victorian style; almost as if that could've been the time frame she was supposed to be in? Was it? Was she even a ghost? Could a ghost be a reflection in the mirror? She couldn't had been that old. She's young. She seems young. She seemed to resemble me.. in some way. The same hair. Similar facial features. She even had the exact same nose slope that I had.

Ghosts of Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay, New York
In a little hamlet called Oyster Bay on the East Coast of the United States stands a home with a fascinating history and a few permanent incorporeal residents. The house is now called Raynham Hall Museum, and if that name sounds familiar, it's likely because you've heard about one of the most famous ghost photos: Brown Lady of Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England. The two places are often confused because of the nearly identical names, and it doesn't help that they were both built by families with the Townsend name and have reports of a ghost on a staircase. In fact, Raynham Hall Museum took its namesake from Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England, but the similarities between the two houses are only superficial, and the history and hauntings are quite different.

The Abandoned House on the Hill: A Tale of Horror
Deep in the heart of the woods, there stands an abandoned house on the hill. For years, it has been left to decay, its once-beautiful exterior now a crumbling facade. But it's not just the deteriorating structure that makes the locals steer clear of the place - it's the eerie feeling that emanates from within its walls. Many say it's haunted, that the spirits of those who died in the house still linger. And they say that if you're brave enough to enter, you'll never come out the same.
