The Watcher of Brimridge Asylum
Prologue: The Forgotten Sanatorium Brimridge Asylum sat crumbling at the edge of Yorkshire’s fog-laced moorlands. Once hailed as a marvel of 19th-century psychiatric reform, the sanatorium had long been abandoned, left to rot under layers of ivy, soot, and secrets.

A mirror that shows a different reality each night.. AI-Generated.
It started on a cold Tuesday night. Maya had just moved into a worn-down apartment on the third floor of an old building downtown. The paint was chipped, the pipes groaned, and the windows barely closed — but the rent was cheap and she needed a fresh start after her messy breakup and even messier bank account.

The Haunting of Jangmuarinnakorn House: Thailand’s Most Notorious Ghost Mansion
The Spooky History and Phantom Tradition of Jangmuarinnakorn House (White Lion House), Chiang Mai Situated in the northwest corner of the ancient city walls of Chiang Mai, the crumbling majesty of Jangmuarinnakorn House, or the White Lion House, is a terrifying reminder of ambition, tragedy, and the paranormal.

Frankenstein

Beloved
Beloved by Toni Morrison is one of the most emotional and unforgettable stories ever written. It is a novel that speaks about slavery, motherhood, memory, and the pain that people carry with them long after their suffering is over. Even though the story is deep and sometimes heartbreaking, it is told with such beauty and truth that it stays with you forever.

Whispers in the Walls
Rain lashed against the crooked windows of Black Hollow Manor, each drop sounding like a faint tap on a coffin lid. The manor had stood for over two centuries, long abandoned and buried in the woods of Raven’s Hollow, where even animals refused to tread. Locals called it cursed. Stories of missing hikers, disembodied screams, and the faint glow of lanterns in the dead of night haunted the nearby village. No one dared approach after sunset.

Whispers from the Old Calcutta Hotel
Chapter I: The Forgotten Ledger In the heart of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), hidden away between the bustling Burrabazar lanes, stands an old, crumbling colonial structure—the Hotel Monsoon Haven.

The Abnormal Visitor At the exceptionally edge of the town stood a long-abandoned library.
A long time ago, it was the heart of information and learning. Understudies from adjacent zones would assemble there to think about, perused, and unobtrusively rest between racks. But one night, a fire broke out. In spite of the fact that the flares were quenched, the boy who had fallen asleep was never found. Since at that point, the library entryways had remained closed—sealed by quiet and puzzle.

The Visitor of Obscurity. It was a cold winter night.
Thick mist covered the town like a spooky cover. The moon stowed away behind overwhelming clouds, and the quiet of the farmland felt unnatural. As it was, the stir of dry takes off and the far off hoot of an owl broke the stillness. At the edge of the town stood a rotting house, once an amazing domain of an effective proprietor. Presently, it was an overlooked antique, broken and crumbling—half devoured by nature and time. The villagers called it “Shonar Bari”, in spite of the fact that nothing brilliant remained around it. Its wooden entryways squeaked indeed without wind, and at night, unusual lights were some of the time seen glinting from its upper floors—despite no one living there for decades.
