There was a dark and stormy night, and a group of friends decided to spend it in an old, abandoned mansion. As they explored the creaky halls and dusty rooms, they couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from the attic.

Curious, they made their way up the narrow staircase, but as they reached the top, they were met with an icy gust of wind. The door to the attic was swinging open, even though they were sure they had closed it.

Trembling, they stepped into the attic, and that's when they saw it: a ghostly figure floating in the air, its white sheets billowing in the wind. The ghost's eyes seemed to pierce right through them, as if it could see into their very souls.

Screaming, the friends ran back down the stairs and out of the mansion as fast as they could. They never spoke of what they had seen that night, but they all knew that they had encountered a true ghost.

The ghost's appearance had left the friends shaken and terrified. They couldn't shake the feeling that it was still following them, even though they had fled the mansion. They tried to convince themselves that it was just their imaginations, but deep down they knew that the ghost was real.

Despite their fear, they knew they had to go back to the mansion to find out more about the ghost. They couldn't let it haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The next night, they returned to the mansion, armed with a camera and a voice recorder to try and capture any evidence of the ghost's presence. They searched the house from top to bottom, but they found nothing out of the ordinary.

Just when they were starting to lose hope, they heard a faint whisper coming from the attic. They froze, not daring to move a muscle. The whisper grew louder and louder, until it was a full-blown conversation. They couldn't make out the words, but they knew it was the ghost.

Determined to finally get some answers, the friends raced up to the attic. But when they got there, they found it empty. There was no sign of the ghost or any other living being.

Confused and disappointed, they sat down on the attic floor, trying to make sense of what had just happened. That's when they heard a faint ticking sound. It seemed to be coming from the walls.

They followed the sound to a small, hidden door that they had never noticed before. With trembling hands, they opened the door, revealing a hidden room behind it.

Inside, they found an old, dusty journal that seemed to be hundreds of years old. They flipped through the pages, and their blood ran cold as they read the story of a young woman who had been wrongfully accused of being a witch and had been imprisoned in the attic of the mansion.

She had been left to rot in the tiny room, never seeing the light of day again. It was said that her ghost still haunts the mansion, seeking revenge on those who had wronged her.

The friends knew they had to get out of the mansion as fast as they could. They grabbed the journal and ran out of the hidden room, not looking back until they were safely outside.

They never returned to the mansion again, but they always wonder if the ghost of the young woman is still there, waiting for its next for the  ictim.
