The Spooky House

In a fog-shrouded town, an old mansion rumored to be haunted by the malevolent spirit of mafia lord Hans Chesston stood ominously. Legend claimed trespassers were hauled out by unseen hands. One night, daring teenagers tested the tale. As chilling gusts and shadows. enveloped them, all but one were violently cast outside. The last, the bravest, vanished after hearing a raspy whisper, deepening the terror of Chesston's haunted legacy.

On the anniversary of the boy's disappearance, a mysterious note guided townsfolk to a chamber with a mirror inside an ornate box. Those who looked were ensnared in Chesston's haunting realm.
