The townspeople always spread rumors that the old abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town was haunted. Legend had it that a family had once lived there, but tragedy struck when the father went mad and killed his wife and children before taking his own life. Ever since then, locals believed that the spirits of the victims still roamed the halls, seeking revenge on anyone who dared to step foot inside. But the Smith family didn't believe in ghosts and decided to buy the mansion, seeing it as an opportunity to start anew. Little did they know, they were about to become the next victims of the haunted mansion. As they moved in, strange occurrences began to happen. Doors would slam shut on their own, objects would move by themselves, and eerie whispers could be heard in the dead of night. The family tried to brush it off as their imagination, but deep down, they felt an unsettling presence lurking around them. One night, mrs smith woke up to find her husband missing. She searched every room in a panic until she heard a ghostly voice calling out to her from the basement. She followed them and was horrified to find her husband, possessed by the vengeful spirit of the mad father, her husband was holding a knife and chanting ancient rituals. The rest of the family heard loud noises and rushed to the basement, where they witnessed mrs smith being stabbed by her husband. The possessed husband lunged in a fit of rage and then killed his children before taking his own life. Just like the previous owner of the mansion. But their deaths were only the beginning. The spirits of the murdered family and the mad father were now bound to the mansion, trapped for eternity. As the years went by, more and more families moved in, unaware of the horrors that awaited them. The once beautiful mansion now stood as a grim reminder of the past, with each new family adding to the number of lost souls haunting its walls. The town council eventually decided to demolish the mansion, hoping to put a end to the cycle of death and haunting. As the bulldozers tore down the walls of the mansion, the spirits were finally at peace, their souls released from the cursed house. But to this day, the townfolk still warn newcomers to steer clear of the abandoned, half demolished mansion, for it will forever be known as the house of death, a place where families meet their tragic end at the hands of vengeful spirits.
