Haunted Hashtag

On that rainy night, as a light drizzle blanketed the city, a group of teenagers, Arya, Nia, and Rizky, decided to embark on a spooky adventure in an abandoned, dilapidated house on the outskirts of town. They were enthusiastic, confident that they wouldn't be scared by anything paranormal.

The house, rumored to be haunted by malevolent spirits, had been deserted for years. However, these three teenagers didn't believe in such tales. They decided to initiate a "Ghost Hunt Challenge" and livestream the experience on their favorite social media platforms.

As they entered the house, the night's silence was broken only by the echoes of their footsteps. Arya, holding the camera, expressed his expectations of finding evidence of the supernatural world.

However, something peculiar occurred when they reached the upper floor. A tightly closed bedroom door suddenly swung open on its own. Rizky, full of enthusiasm, took a step forward and shouted, "Is anyone here? Show yourself!"

With no response, Nia, holding her phone, began livestreaming. Although they felt something was amiss, it still seemed like an ordinary prank. Until Arya spotted something behind Nia through the camera screen.

"Guys, look at this! There's a shadow behind Nia!" Arya exclaimed, pointing at his phone screen. Rizky and Nia turned quickly, but there was nothing behind Nia. A panicked Arya tried to explain, "It was there, I'm sure!"

Occasionally, the lights around them flickered, creating an increasingly eerie atmosphere. They decided to continue exploring, but this time with more caution.

As they reached the dark basement, they found an old box tightly sealed. Their curiosity peaked, and they opened the box. However, as the box opened, strange sounds filled the air.

Rizky, bravely, closed the box quickly, but when he turned around, Arya and Nia were gone. He called out to them, but there was no answer. Panicked, he desperately tried to find them, but the lights around him simultaneously went out, and Rizky felt alone in the darkness.

As Rizky began walking towards the exit, he saw a black shadow accompanied by eerie whispers. He kept running, trying to get out of the house. However, the more he ran, the closer the shadow got.

Just as he was about to reach the exit, evil laughter filled the room. Rizky tried to open the door, but it wouldn't budge. It felt like something was holding the door shut.

The shadow drew nearer, and Rizky stood frozen in fear. Suddenly, everything stopped. The room plunged into complete darkness, and Rizky felt like he was drowning in the terrifying silence of the night.

Then, Arya and Nia's phone screens appeared in front of him. Their livestream was still ongoing, and comments from viewers continued to scroll. However, what was visible on the screens shook Rizky to his core.

The dark shadow that had followed him in the old house was clearly visible in the background of their livestream. Alongside it, a mysterious hashtag repeatedly appeared, skyrocketing to the top of the trending list.

Chills ran down Rizky's spine. He realized his friends might be trapped in the supernatural realm, and they were now part of a real horror story. They were not only victims in the abandoned house but also in the uncontrollable realm of the internet.

That night became an unforgettable horror story, a harrowing tale that haunted all three of them even after they escaped from the old house. They might have left the physical structure behind, but the shadows in the virtual world and the memories of that night would forever haunt them.
