Title: The Phantom's Curse

Level: Advanced (C1-C2)


#Story:

In the village of Ashbourne, a young woman named Isabella Montgomery inherits an old manor filled with rumors and eerie whispers about a ghostly curse. Determined to make the house her new home, Isabella is soon confronted by supernatural forces that seem to linger in the very walls. As she explores the manor, she discovers an ancient portrait that contains the spirit of a man bound to the house by a centuries-old curse. The spirit warns her that she will never escape, and a sinister power begins to take hold of her. Isabella discovers a hidden book that could break the curse, and she fights against the shadows that threaten to consume her. With the curse broken, Isabella believes she is free, but she soon realizes that the ghostly presence still lingers, haunting her every step. The village is trapped in an endless cycle, as the curse is passed on to anyone who dares enter the manor.
