Once upon a time, an old, decrepit mansion stood in a small, secluded village nestled deep within a dense forest. Locals whispered stories of its dark history, claiming it was haunted by the spirits of those who met a tragic end within its walls. The villagers dared not venture near the mansion after sundown, for they believed that the supernatural forces awakened once darkness fell, unleashing terror upon anyone who dared to intrude.
One fateful night, a curious young woman named Emily, driven by an insatiable desire for adventure, decided to challenge the legends surrounding the mansion. With an unwavering determination, she set foot on the path leading to the eerie house, her heart pounding with both fear and excitement.
As Emily stepped through the creaking front door, a chilling breeze whispered through the halls, causing her to shiver. The air was thick with an otherworldly presence, and the flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on the peeling wallpaper. Every step she took echoed ominously as if the house itself was watching her every move.
Exploring deeper into the mansion, Emily stumbled upon an old study, its shelves lined with dusty books and forgotten manuscripts. Among them, she discovered a worn leather-bound journal, its pages filled with cryptic writings and sketches of peculiar symbols. Ignoring the warning signs, she began to decipher the strange language, unknowingly unlocking a doorway to a realm beyond her comprehension.
As the clock struck midnight, a sinister energy filled the room, causing the temperature to plummet. Whispers echoed through the halls, growing louder and more menacing with each passing moment. Shadows danced on the walls, taking on grotesque shapes that seemed to mock Emily's presence.
Suddenly, a ghastly figure materialized before her, its eyes glowing with an ethereal light. It was the spirit of a young girl, trapped within the mansion's confines for centuries. The girl's voice, a haunting melody, filled the room as she recounted her tragic tale of betrayal and revenge.
Emily's heart raced as the spirit reached out, its icy fingers grazing her arm. Her fingers are just like long, thin, and sharp branches of trees. She was consumed by a bone-chilling fear, paralyzed by the supernatural force at play. The girl's voice grew louder, her pain and anguish seeping into Emily's very soul.
In a desperate attempt to escape, Emily mustered every ounce of courage she had left. She recited an ancient incantation she had discovered in the journal, hoping to banish the spirit back to the realm from which it came. The earth shook like earthquakes were coming. The mansion shook violently, as if fighting against its own malevolence, but ultimately succumbed to the power of the incantation.
With a final burst of lightning, the spirit vanished, leaving Emily alone in the now-silent mansion. She stumbled out into the moonlit night, gasping for breath, her body covered in goosebumps. She was full in shock. The mansion stood as a silent sentinel, its dark secrets forever locked within its walls.
To this day, the villagers speak of Emily's harrowing encounter, warning others to steer clear of the haunted mansion. Everyone is curious but no one dares to go in the house. Only the look of the house results in the appearance of terrible feelings in people. But deep down, they know that some are drawn to the thrill of the unknown and that the supernatural forces that reside there will continue to haunt the brave and the curious, leaving them with goosebumps long after their encounter with the eerie house has ended.

4 scary deep woods horror stories
When I was a kid, my great-grandma would always sign us up for Christian camp near Stevens Pass in Washington. Despite the Christian themes, I had a lot of fun there, even if there were some strict rules. The campground was tucked away behind a remote dirt road, with a large field and endless stretches of forest beyond that. The staff cabins were at the edge of the road, and the camper cabins were further north, some nestled in the woods and others next to the field. The communal bathrooms were quite large. The camp focused on local history, which I never cared much about. The cabins were named after Washington cities, except the oldest one called the Dean's cabin. There were always stories and myths about the cabins being haunted or people dying there, which were exciting at first but got old after a while.

The Ugliest Building
Mark Twain called the building I work in, “The ugliest building in America.” I agree. The Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Office Building isn’t the largest in Washington, D.C., but its imposing façade makes it feel like it is. I work for the Office of E-Government and Information Technology. I have a satellite office in the bowels of this monstrosity. Working in this building gives us quick access to both the President and Vice-President because they also have offices here. This access may be why I’m in this situation, or maybe it’s the project I’m assigned to, or both.
