There was a mysterious house at the end of the street. It had been abandoned for years, and no one knew why. The windows were boarded up, the paint was peeling off the walls, and the front gate was rusted shut. It was said that strange things happened inside the house, and that anyone who entered never came out.

Despite the warnings, a group of teenagers decided to explore the horror house one night, shaming their parents. They believed it would be a fun adventure, and they were eager to prove their bravery to each other.

As they approached the house, they noticed that the gate was now slightly ajar. They pushed it open and cautiously stepped inside. The floorboards creaked under their feet, and a musty smell filled their nostrils. The darkness was thick, and they could barely see where they were going.

Suddenly, they heard a faint whisper. It sounded like someone was calling out their names. They froze in fear, but then decided to investigate. They followed the sound until they reached a room at the end of the hallway.

Inside the room, they found a dusty book lying on a table. The cover was old and worn, and the pages were yellowed with age. They opened it, and a strange symbol was inscribed on the first page. As soon as they saw it, the room began to shake, and the doors slammed shut.

The group tried to leave, but the doors were now sealed shut. The room grew colder and darker, and the book began to glow. Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared, hovering in front of them.

The figure began to speak in a language they didn’t understand, but they could tell it was a warning. The book contained a curse, and the only way to break it was to find the key hidden within the house.

The group now knew they were in grave danger. They split up and searched the entire house, but couldn’t find the key. As they searched, they heard strange noises, like footsteps and whispers. They saw shadowy figures moving in the corners of their eyes, and felt cold fingers brush against their skin.

There were five of them, three girls and two boys. They split into two groups; two girls and a boy and a girl and a boy. The group of three went upstairs and group of two stay down to search.

As they were trying to go upstairs, it started to quake like the shadow does not want them go up but enduring it all, they went. They discovered a horrifyingly disturbing view. There was a eaten dead body like skeleton, probably of previous explorer that entered the abandoned house.

On the right was room, one of the girls pulled them to move on before they turn into that skeleton. They searched it thoroughly but could not find any key. Then they went further into left side of the floor. On the left side two rooms were facing each other and last were right straight.

They searched the two rooms and started to move to last room, supposing washroom. They were terrified to go further as way to there was filled with blood and skeleton parts.

The two left down started their search from living room as it was most safe place to hide a key in their opinion but they could not find anything.

They moved towards kitchen and another quake occurred, first for them which made them sure that key is here they searched madly but could find anything. They both lost all their hopes but the boy thought one room is still left to search.

They moved towards that room and tried opening them but it would not open. They shouted to the rest of their friends upstairs who was about to open that room door but did not as they hear their friends calling them. (Sigh)

They all gather around, trying to open. One of the girls has an idea to reread the book to find some clue for opening the door. As they opened the book, the door opened and they went in. All five of them search insanely, when somebody’s hand touched a book and another room opened. They went in to search for key.

Finally, they found the key hidden in a secret compartment behind a bookshelf. They rushed back to the room and inserted the key into a lock on the floor. The room shook once again, and the doors swung open.

As they fled the house, they saw the ghostly figure fade away into the darkness. They knew they had narrowly escaped the horror house, and vowed never to return again. The curse had been broken, but the memory of the experience would haunt them for the rest of their lives. And all of them were proud of each other for escaping such a horror house safely. Still it took them quite a time to adjust in normal life as nightmare won’t stop.

But nothing was ever normal for them again as they started to do work project on such house, curse on them could be lifted and people could enjoy living again.

A group of five fighting against shadows to free them and lift up the curse. They purchased the house which they thought they would never return and started their journey.
