Part 1:

In the quaint town of Hollow Creek, there stood a house that was shrouded in mystery and fear - Blackwood Manor. The dilapidated mansion, with its towering spires and overgrown gardens, had been abandoned for decades. The townsfolk spoke in hushed whispers about the manor, spinning tales of the supernatural that kept children and adults alike at a safe distance.

One day, a group of thrill-seeking friends, led by the fearless Lecar, decided to unravel the mysteries of the manor. They were a motley crew of five - Lecar, the brave leader; Jake, the skeptic; Emily, the believer; Ryan, the jokester; and Hannah, the quiet observer.

Equipped with flashlights, a camera, and a shared sense of curiosity, they set out towards Blackwood Manor as the sun began to set, casting long, ominous shadows over Hollow Creek. As they approached the manor, a chill ran down their spines. The house, bathed in the eerie glow of the setting sun, looked more menacing than ever.

Ignoring the sense of dread that gnawed at them, they pushed open the creaky front door. It groaned in protest, breaking the deathly silence that hung around the manor. They stepped inside, their flashlights cutting through the thick layer of darkness.

The interior of the manor was as creepy as its exterior. Dust-covered furniture, cobweb-laden chandeliers, and faded portraits adorned the grand entrance hall. The air was heavy with a sense of foreboding, and the faint smell of decay lingered.

Despite the unsettling atmosphere, they ventured deeper into the manor. As they explored, they couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched. It was as if unseen eyes were following their every move, lurking in the shadows.

Just as they were about to dismiss their paranoia as a product of their overactive imaginations, they heard it - a soft, almost inaudible whisper that seemed to echo through the silent corridors of the manor.

"Leave..."

The whisper was so faint that they thought they had imagined it. But then it came again, louder this time, a chilling warning that sent shivers down their spines.

"Leave... now..."

Before they could react, the temperature dropped drastically. Their breaths fogged up in the icy air, and their flashlights flickered, casting erratic shadows on the walls.

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream echoed through the manor, followed by a deafening silence. The friends looked at each other, their faces pale with terror, realizing that the scream had come from Hannah, who was nowhere to be seen...
