The Whispering Shadows
Lena has always been skeptical of the supernatural. She grew up in a small town embedded between the hills and heard shares of ghost stories, but like most reasonable people, she freed it as mere mythology. That was up to the day she moved into her old home on Ashford Street.
Lena has always been skeptical of the supernatural. She grew up in a small town embedded between the hills and heard shares of ghost stories, but like most reasonable people, she freed it as mere mythology. That was up to the day she moved into her old home on Ashford Street.
This house was an impressive Victorian relic from the early 1900s. Surrounded by overgrown trees and high rusty fences, it seemed like the perfect home for Lena, who had recently moved and was eager to start a new start. There were large windows, creaking wooden floors, and an attic that looked to call them. The moment she got in, a cold ran down her spine, but she shrugged her under her armpits and slammed her at home.
The first night began.
Lena was in her bed and tried to adapt to the unusual silence. The wind howled outside, rattling the windows, but it was a whisper that caught her attention. It was soft and barely heard, and it seemed to break out of the depths of the house. She tried to ignore it and led it to a calm home.
But the whispers grew the next night.
They returned every night - Shruet Mahmin hanging the hallway. They seemed too clear to be the wind. Lena tried to convince herself that it was only an old house, but the whispers felt... intended. They were random sounds. They were the voices that called them. One night,
I decided to check on Rena. She reached for her flashlight and hiked through the dark house. Her footsteps echoed from the walls, adding a horrifying silence. The whispers grew more clearly when she moved to the attic door.
She took a break and her heartbeat. The attic door was old, and the wood was moved and weathered. With her trembling hands, she turned the handle and pushed it against her. An explosion of cold air met her. Her flashlight flickered as she stepped into it and cast an irregular shadow on the wall. She searched the attic, but there was nothing - only old furniture and forgotten boxes. Nevertheless, I felt the air was wrong.
Suddenly, a plank squealed behind her.
Rena whipped, but no one saw it. She retreated, her pulse racing. Then she heard it - her clarity, an unmistakable voice, whispering her name.
"lena..."
The noise was so close and chilling that her blood got cold. She turned around, but no one stood there. The attic was empty, but there was something or someone's presence that stayed in the air. She didn't wait to learn more. She ran.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Lena looked behind her. Although he disappeared, the cold of oppression remained as if it had continued. Her heart knocked, and she slammed into the attic door and rushed back to her room.
The subsequent day, she was known as the preceding proprietors of the house. The aged female on the opposite cease of the road didn`t hesitate whilst Lena requested approximately the houses history.
"This house… it`s now no longer simply old," the female said. "It`s cursed. The attic... it`s in which the preceding owner`s daughter, Emily, disappeared. No one is aware of what occurred to her, however her spirit has in no way left."
That night, the whispers returned, louder than ever. This time, Lena wasn't afraid. She knew she needed to discover what occurred to Emily, to set her free. The discern seemed again, light and translucent, status via the means of her bed.
"Help me, Lena," the discern whispered, her voice pleading.
Lena found out that Emilys spirit was no longer haunting the house; she became trapped. With a newfound resolve, Lena determined to find the reality buried withinside the partitions of the house — and in the end launch the stressed spirit that were calling her name.
