It was a dark and stormy night when Julia and her friends decided to explore the abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town. They had heard rumors about the place for years but had never had the courage to investigate it until now.

The mansion had been abandoned for decades, and there were all sorts of stories about what had happened to the previous owners.

As they approached the mansion, Julia felt a chill run down her spine. The place looked even more ominous than she had imagined. The gates were rusted shut, and the overgrown lawn was dotted with weeds and broken statues. The mansion itself was a towering structure, with a façade that looked like it belonged in a horror movie.
