THE MYSTERY OF THE HIDDEN HAUNTED HOUSE
The old house stood on a hill, overlooking the town. It had been empty for years, and rumours
went around it. Some people said it was haunted, while others claimed that it was a portal to
another world.
One day, a group of teenagers decided to explore the house. They had heard the rumours, but
they didn't believe them. They thought it would be fun to spend a night in the old house and
prove that it wasn't haunted.
The teenagers broke into the house through a window. They made their way through the dark,
dusty rooms, exploring every nook and cranny. They found old furniture, covered in sheets, and
dusty portraits of people they didn't recognize.
They came to a door at the end of a long hallway. The door was locked, but one of the
teenagers had a lockpick. He opened the door, and they all stepped inside.
The room was empty, except for a single chair in the centre of the room. The chair was facing a
blank wall.
The teenagers sat down in the chairs and waited. They didn't know what to expect, but they
were all excited.
After a few minutes, they heard a noise. It was a soft, scraping sound, coming from the wall
behind the chair. The teenagers froze. They didn't know what to do.The scraping sound got
louder. It sounded like something was trying to get out of the wall.
The teenagers stood up and backed away from the chair. They were terrified.
Suddenly, the wall cracked open. A creature emerged from the crack. It was tall and thin, with
pale skin and black eyes. The teenagers screamed and ran. They ran out of the room, out of the
house, and into the night.
They never went back to the old house again.
But sometimes, on a quiet night, you can still hear the scraping sound, coming from the room
behind the locked door.
