Echoes of the Forgotten Mansion
The old mansion stood at the edge of town, its darkened windows and overgrown gardens a stark contrast to the neatly manicured lawns of its neighbors. Stories of its haunting whispered through generations, tales of strange lights flickering in the attic at night and voices echoing from empty rooms. Most dismissed these as mere folklore, but those who lived closest knew better than to venture near after dusk.

THREE REAL-LIFE MYSTICAL HORROR STORIES THAT HAPPENED IN THE WOODS.
**This happened about two years ago in the spring when it had already warmed up. We got tired of sitting in the parking lot and drinking beer, so we decided to gather and go somewhere. We thought about the place for quite a long time, about two weeks, but we finally decided. There was a suggestion to go to Lytkarina, to the Brides' Glade, a rather notorious place where people often die in car accidents. But back then, it hadn't yet become so heavily rumored, so we had no fears in mind. The long-awaited day came, and we set off around 2:00 pm. The road didn't please us at all; there were monuments almost every 10 meters, and everywhere were signs indicating a dangerous road section. We turned off the highway and found a nice clearing right in the middle of the forest. We spread out, and everything was more or less normal: guitar, alcohol, fun. When it got dark, we were still having fun. We didn't even notice how the fog surrounded us and decided to take a walk to the Brides' Glade.**
