Arjun had always heard whispers about the abandoned house at the end of the lane, but the night he stepped inside, he finally learned the truth. The moment he crossed the broken door, a cold rush of air wrapped around him like invisible fingers. The house looked empty, but he felt watched—every corner, every shadow seemed alive.
He switched on his torch, and the beam flickered strangely, as if resisting the darkness. Suddenly, a portrait on the wall began shaking on its own, and a woman’s faint sob echoed through the hall. Arjun froze. Then he saw her—a pale figure in torn clothes standing near the staircase. Her face was blurred, as if someone had wiped it away.
She lifted her hand and pointed toward a locked room. Against his will, Arjun walked toward it. The door creaked open, revealing a dusty diary. When he touched it, the entire house roared like a storm. The spirit appeared again, this time screaming, “They hid my truth!”
Arjun ran outside with the diary. Later, he learned it belonged to a woman who was murdered by her own family, and her body was buried beneath the house.
Her spirit still waited inside…
For someone brave enough to reveal her truth
