"The Haunting of Blackwood Manor"
"An Unforgiving Legacy of Terror"

Its decaying facade loomed over the villagers like a specter, casting a foreboding shadow that sent chills down their spines. Legends and whispers spoke of the haunted history that clung to the mansion, tales of tragedy and malevolence that had become intertwined with its very foundation.
