Once upon a time, in the small town of Havisham, old man Jenkins’ house was famous for two things: its dilapidated state and the spooky tales that surrounded it. No one dared to venture near it, especially on Halloween.
Every year, as October 31st approached, the town’s energy changed. The haunting chills that the house inspires seeped onto the streets. But this year, young Daisy and Daniel, brave and curious, rose to challenge the legend.
Under a moonless sky, they sneaked towards the house. Daisy’s heart pounded, and Daniel’s breath quickened. Undeterred, they crossed the threshold.
No ghoul or phantom met them in the dim light. After an hour of exploration, they found nothing haunted about the place. It was a mere building crumbling under the weight of its years.
Just as they began to relax, they noticed a sketch of two youngsters etched on a dusty mirror. It was a spitting image of them! Behind the drawing were the words “Brave and curious.”
Out of the darkness, old man Jenkins’ voice echoed, “I’ve been expecting you.” he chuckled. Legend or not, it’s fascinating how each Halloween, the house continues to draw brave and curious souls like Daisy and Daniel.
The twist? Old man Jenkins had been long dead.
