By Leo maxPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Characters:

Samantha - A young woman who inherits a forgotten house from her deceased grandfather.

Thomas - Samantha's boyfriend, who accompanies her on the journey to the house.

Daniel - Samantha's grandfather, who built the house many years ago.

Sarah - A ghost who haunts the house and its inhabitants.

It was a sunny afternoon when Samantha received a letter from her grandfather's lawyer, informing her that she had inherited a forgotten house in the countryside. Samantha had never met her grandfather, but she was intrigued by the idea of inheriting a property. She immediately called her boyfriend Thomas and told him about the news.

"Let's go see this house," she said excitedly. "It could be our weekend getaway spot."

Thomas agreed, and the two of them set off on a road trip to the countryside. The journey was long and tiring, but Samantha couldn't contain her excitement. She had always loved the idea of owning a house in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

As they approached the house, Samantha's excitement turned into confusion. The house was in a state of disrepair, with broken windows, overgrown weeds, and a general air of neglect. Samantha wondered why her grandfather had left the house in such a state.

They went inside the house, and Samantha was struck by the eerie silence. It was as if the house had been frozen in time, with old furniture, yellowed curtains, and an overall feeling of abandonment. Samantha tried to shake off the feeling and began exploring the house.

As they were walking through the hallway, they heard a faint whisper. They both froze and looked at each other, wondering if they had heard the same thing. Suddenly, the whisper turned into a loud moan, and they saw a figure standing at the end of the hallway.

The figure was that of a young woman, with long black hair and a white dress. Samantha and Thomas were both terrified, and they backed away slowly. The woman disappeared into thin air, leaving them in a state of shock.

"What the hell was that?" Thomas asked, his voice shaking.

"I have no idea," Samantha replied, her mind racing. "But I think we're not alone in this house."

As the night fell, they tried to sleep, but they were disturbed by strange noises coming from different parts of the house. They heard footsteps, whispers, and doors creaking open and shut. They both knew that something was not right in the house.

The next day, Samantha began digging into her grandfather's past, hoping to find some answers. She found out that he had built the house many years ago, but he had left it suddenly, never to return. Nobody knew why he had abandoned the house, but some rumors suggested that he had been haunted by a ghost.

Samantha decided to investigate further, and she discovered a hidden room in the house. The room was filled with old photographs, letters, and other memorabilia. As she looked through the items, she began to piece together her grandfather's story.

She found out that her grandfather had fallen in love with a woman named Sarah, who had lived in the house before he bought it. They had a brief but intense love affair, but Sarah had died suddenly, leaving her ghost to haunt the house.

Samantha realized that the ghost they had seen was that of Sarah, who was still trapped in the house, unable to move on. She decided to try and communicate with the ghost, hoping to find a way to help her.

As she sat in the room, she heard Sarah's voice whispering to her. Samantha spoke to her, telling her that her grandfather had loved her
