"The Shadow of the Killer"

It was a dark and stormy night in the small town of Millfield. The wind howled through the trees, and the rain pounded against the windows of the old, abandoned mansion at the edge of town. No one had lived in the mansion for years, but strange rumors had always surrounded the place.

A group of teenagers had heard the rumors and decided to explore the mansion. They thought it would be fun to spend the night there, but they had no idea what they were getting into.

As they entered the mansion, they could feel an eerie presence, and the temperature dropped significantly. The group of friends explored the mansion, and they stumbled upon a room that had a strange symbol painted on the wall. They couldn't make out what the symbol meant, but it made them uneasy.

The group decided to make camp in the room for the night, but they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. They tried to brush it off, but it only got worse as the night went on.

Around midnight, they heard a creaking sound coming from the hallway. They thought it might be the wind, but then they heard footsteps. Slow, heavy footsteps. The footsteps came closer and closer until they stopped right outside the door.

The group was frozen with fear as the door slowly creaked open. They saw a figure standing in the doorway, but they couldn't make out who or what it was. The figure stepped into the room, and the door slammed shut behind it.

The group could see that the figure was holding something, but they couldn't see what it was. As the figure approached them, they could see that it was an old man. His face was twisted into a grotesque smile, and his eyes glinted in the darkness.

The old man held out his hand, and the group saw that he was holding a knife. They tried to run, but the old man was too fast. He caught them one by one, and they never stood a chance.

The next morning, the police were called to investigate the disappearance of the teenagers. They found no trace of them in the mansion, but they did find a strange symbol painted on the wall of one of the rooms.

The town was shaken by the disappearance of the teenagers, but they soon forgot about it as time passed. However, the mansion remained abandoned, and the rumors continued to spread.

Years went by, and the mansion became known as a haunted house. People avoided it at all costs, and those who did dare to enter never returned.

One day, a group of paranormal investigators decided to investigate the mansion. They had heard the rumors and were curious to see if there was any truth to them.

As they entered the mansion, they could feel an eerie presence, and the temperature dropped significantly. They explored the mansion, and they stumbled upon the same room with the strange symbol painted on the wall.

As they were investigating the room, they heard a creaking sound coming from the hallway. They thought it might be the wind, but then they heard footsteps. Slow, heavy footsteps. The footsteps came closer and closer until they stopped right outside the door.

The investigators were frozen with fear as the door slowly creaked open. They saw a figure standing in the doorway, but they couldn't make out who or what it was. The figure stepped into the room, and the door slammed shut behind it.

The investigators could see that the figure was holding something, but they couldn't see what it was. As the figure approached them, they could see that it was the old man from years ago. His face was twisted into a grotesque smile, and his eyes glinted in the darkness.

The old man held out his hand, and the investigators saw that he was holding a knife. They
