Title: 1.“The House on Blackwood Hill”
---
Story: For over a century, the mansion on Blackwood Hill stood abandoned, its windows like hollow eyes staring down at the quiet town below. Locals whispered about the “Blackwood Curse” — anyone who entered never came out the same… if they came out at all. Elena, a young investigative journalist, arrived in Blackwood determined to prove the stories wrong. She was chasing her biggest scoop — the truth behind the mansion’s last resident, Margaret Holloway, who vanished without a trace in 1923. The night was thick with fog as Elena climbed the winding path to the house. The front door creaked open on its own, and the smell of damp wood and something rotting filled her lungs.
