Title: The Abandoned Lighthouse MysteryLevel: Intermediate (B2)


#Story :

Isla Thornton, a writer with a passion for uncovering mysteries, arrives in the coastal town of Grey Harbor to investigate the haunting legends surrounding an abandoned lighthouse. Locals warn her about the strange occurrences there, telling tales of the last lighthouse keeper, Mr. Elwood, who vanished mysteriously one stormy night. Intrigued, Isla visits the lighthouse, experiencing eerie sounds, whispers, and fleeting shadows that seem to hold a story. She uncovers fragments of Mr. Elwood’s life, learning of his loneliness, betrayal, and the ghostly presence that lingers. As she pieces together the tragedy of the last keeper, Isla realizes she must share his story to give his spirit peace, finally releasing him from the lighthouse.
