Title: The House on Whispering Hill

Level: Advanced (B)

#Story :

Amelia, fascinated by the supernatural, inherits an old mansion with a sinister reputation known as Whispering Hill. The house, shrouded in mystery and eerie legends, quickly pulls her into its dark secrets. Strange whispers plague her nights, leading her to a hidden passage in the library where she finds an ancient, leather-bound book in a hidden chamber. Ignoring the ominous warnings in her gut, she recites a summoning ritual from the book. Suddenly, a chilling spirit appears, dragging her into darkness. The next morning, the townsfolk find her belongings scattered throughout the mansion, but Amelia is gone. The house is left waiting for the next curious soul.
