The old lighthouse on the rocky coast had always been a source of fascination for the locals. It had been abandoned for years, but there were rumors that it was haunted by the ghost of its former keeper.

The group consisted of four friends - Matt, Sarah, Jack, and Lucy. They had grown up in the small coastal town and had always been intrigued by the old lighthouse. They had heard the stories of the ghostly apparitions and strange noises that emanated from within its walls.

One summer evening, they decided to sneak into the lighthouse and spend the night. They brought sleeping bags and flashlights and climbed the rusted metal stairs to the top of the tower.

As they settled in for the night, they heard strange noises coming from below. Creaking footsteps, the rustling of fabric, and the sound of heavy breathing. They tried to ignore it, telling themselves that it was just the wind or their imaginations playing tricks on them.

But then, the noises grew louder. They heard footsteps coming up the stairs, heavy and deliberate. They huddled together in fear, shining their flashlights down the stairwell to try and catch a glimpse of the intruder.

As the footsteps reached the top of the tower, the friends held their breath. But no one appeared. They searched the room, but there was no one there.

Suddenly, the room grew cold, and a thick fog rolled in. The friends shivered as they realized that something supernatural was happening.

As the night wore on, they experienced a series of terrifying events. They saw ghostly apparitions, heard unexplained voices, and felt the touch of invisible hands. They tried to escape, but the door was locked from the outside, trapping them in the lighthouse.

They were eventually forced to confront the ghostly presence that haunted the lighthouse. It was the former keeper, a man who had died in a tragic accident. He had never left the lighthouse and had been trapped there for decades, unable to move on to the afterlife.

The friends realized that they had to help the ghost find peace. They delved into the lighthouse's history, searching for clues that would help them understand what had happened to the former keeper. They discovered that he had been falsely accused of a crime and had been unable to clear his name before his death.

With this knowledge, they were able to communicate with the ghost and convince him to move on. After months of legal battles, the man's name was finally cleared. The ghost of the mansion was finally able to find peace and move on to the afterlife. They helped him clear his name, and he was finally able to leave the lighthouse and find peace.

As the friends left the lighthouse, they felt a sense of relief and closure. They had conquered their fears and had helped a lost soul find peace. They knew that they would never forget their terrifying experience in the haunted lighthouse.

This will become an integral incident of their life and they will always remember it . Specially when these teenagers will grow and when they have their kids .
