The Haunted House on Maple Street

It was a dark and stormy night when Sarah and her friends decided to explore the abandoned house on Maple Street. The rumors had been swirling for years about the strange occurrences that happened within the walls of the house. Some said that the previous owners had been murdered there, while others claimed that the house was built on an ancient burial ground. But no one knew for sure what happened there or why is this house haunted.

Despite the warnings, Sarah and her friends were determined to see for themselves what was inside the old house. As they approached the front door, they heard strange whispers and creaking sounds coming from within. The front door swung open on its own, and they stepped inside, feeling a chill run down their spines.

The inside of the house was dark and musty, with cobwebs covering every surface. The air was thick with the smell of decay, and Sarah felt a knot form in her stomach as she realized they were not alone. Shadows flickered across the walls, and the floorboards creaked beneath their feet.

As they made their way through the house, they found themselves in a room with a large mirror on the wall. Sarah's reflection stared back at her, but her eyes were empty and lifeless. Suddenly, she felt something cold and slimy wrap around her ankle, pulling her towards the mirror. She screamed as her friends tried to pull her back, but the force was too strong. Sarah was pulled through the mirror, disappearing into another realm.

Her friends were left alone in the haunted house, unable to find a way out. They heard Sarah's screams echoing from beyond the mirror, and the whispers grew louder and more ominous. They knew they had to find a way to rescue Sarah before it was too late.

As they searched the house for a way to break the curse, they encountered a series of terrifying creatures that seemed to be conjured from their deepest fears. Each time they thought they had found a way out, they were met with another obstacle that seemed insurmountable. These faced many difficulties and some also got injured. They were afraid to death as one of them encountered a creature giving him death stare, he started running and locked himself in an old cupboard. It was dark, he couldn’t see his hands. He had with him a flashlight, when he turned it on what he saw was a human skull. That made him scare to death and he scream so hard that all the other friends hear him and they ran towards him. He got out of the cupboard and the friends arrived, they saw that there is an ancient book in the cupboard. When they open the book, they saw many incantations written in the book. Suddenly a creature find his way towards them, they were scared. Then the creature saw the book and ran away. They realised that this book is special. After reading the book, they found about the mirror.

Finally, after what felt like hours, they found themselves standing in front of the mirror once again. This time, they were armed with the knowledge of the curse that had befallen the house, and they were determined to break it.

With a powerful incantation, they shattered the mirror and broke the curse that had trapped Sarah in the other realm. She emerged from the shattered glass, trembling and traumatised but alive. They hugged her so tight. They found other incantations that helped them found there way out of the house.

As they made their way out of the haunted house on Maple Street, they knew that they had uncovered a dark and terrifying secret that was best left buried in the shadows. They vowed never to speak of it again, but the memory of the horrors they had faced would haunt them for years to come.
