Kelly, Josh, and Kinley were inseparable. They had been friends since kindergarten and had grown up together. They had shared all their secrets, dreams, and fears with each other. They were now 17 years old, and nothing had ever come between them. But that was about to change.

One Friday night, they decided to explore an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town. They had heard stories about the house being haunted, but they were not afraid. They had brought a bottle of vodka with them, and they were already a little tipsy by the time they arrived at the house.

The house was dark, and there were cobwebs everywhere. The windows were broken, and the front door was hanging off its hinges. They cautiously made their way inside and explored the house. The floors creaked, and the walls were peeling off. The house had an eerie feel to it, and they could feel something watching them.

As they made their way to the living room, they found an old bottle of whiskey. They started drinking and playing truth or dare. The dares were harmless at first, but they soon escalated into something more dangerous. They dared each other to go into different rooms and do things that would make them uncomfortable.

As they played, they heard strange noises coming from upstairs. They tried to ignore them, but the noises grew louder and louder. They could hear footsteps, whispering, and laughter. They were scared, but they didn't want to show it.

Finally, Josh couldn't take it anymore. "Let's get out of here," he said. "I don't like this place."

But the doors and windows were all locked, and they couldn't get out. They were trapped.

"Let's keep playing," Kelly said, trying to distract herself from the fear she felt. "We can find a way out of here later."

They continued playing truth or dare, but the dares became more and more dangerous. They dared each other to go into dark rooms, to stay alone in a room for an hour, and even to go into the basement. They were drunk and didn't realize how dangerous their game had become.

As they made their way to the basement, they found an old Ouija board. Kelly was hesitant to use it, but Josh and Kinley convinced her to try it out. They sat in a circle and placed their fingers on the board.

"Is anyone there?" Kelly asked.

The planchette moved to 'Yes'.

"What do you want?" Josh asked.

The planchette moved to 'Play'.

"Play what?" Kinley asked.

The planchette moved to 'Truth or Dare'.

They all laughed and agreed to play. But as they played, they realized that something was wrong. The dares were becoming more sinister, and the truths were revealing things they didn't want to know.

As the game went on, they could feel a presence in the room with them. It was getting colder, and they could see their breath. They were too scared to look up, but they could sense that something was watching them.

Suddenly, the planchette moved by itself, spelling out a message.

"I am watching you."

They all screamed and ran up the stairs. But the doors and windows were still locked, and they were trapped.

They could hear something coming up the stairs. It was a ghostly figure dressed in a white gown, with long hair covering her face. She was holding a candle, and her eyes were glowing red.

They tried to run, but she was too fast. She grabbed Josh by the neck and pulled him away from the others. They could hear him screaming as the ghostly figure dragged him away.

They were all terrified and didn't know what to do.
