The Mystery of the Haunted Mansion
One gloomy evening, a group of friends gathered around a campfire, sharing spooky stories. As the moon cast eerie shadows, Lucy, the storyteller of the group, began her tale. "Once, in our town, there stood an old, abandoned mansion at the edge of the woods. People whispered that it was haunted, and strange things happened there. One night, four brave friends decided to investigate the mystery." They approached the mansion, its windows shattered, and ivy creeping up the walls. The front door groaned open as if it had a life of its own. Candles flickered inside, casting ghostly glows. The friends cautiously entered. As they explored the mansion's dark corridors, they heard footsteps and eerie whispers. Suddenly, the room they were in filled with ghostly figures. But upon closer inspection, they realized it was just old portraits on the walls.
