The Library of Lost Souls: A Haunted Place Where Books Hold the Dead
The Story: It was a forgotten place, buried deep within the fading memories of a dying village—Bardham Hollow, nestled somewhere between the woods and the mountains, where the sun never quite shined properly.

Locals called it The Library of Lost Souls. No one went near it. The wooden sign outside had long rotted away, and the rusted iron gate screeched even in the absence of wind. Children were warned not to play near it, and the elderly crossed themselves while passing by. But to Ayaan Malhotra, a 29-year-old folklore researcher from Delhi, this was the perfect mystery.

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.
