The House of Forgotten Echoes
The House of Forgotten Echoes
In the quiet town of Ashen Hollow, a mansion loomed on the hillside, abandoned for decades. Known as “The House of Forgotten Echoes,” it was said that the wealthy Whitlock family, who once lived there, vanished mysteriously one winter night, leaving the house to decay.
Eliza Thorn, a curious writer new to town, felt drawn to the mansion despite the warnings. One cloudy afternoon, she ventured up the overgrown path to explore. The house, though crumbling, still held a strange beauty, as if it was waiting for her.
Inside, silence ruled. Faded tapestries and broken chandeliers hinted at a once grand life, but something else lingered—an eerie presence. As Eliza moved through the rooms, she felt watched. Soft whispers and distant piano notes seemed to chase her through the hallways.
In an upstairs bedroom, she glimpsed the figure of a woman in a mirror—ghostly, from another time. The whispers grew louder, pleading, “Don’t leave us.” Panicked, Eliza fled the house, but the echoes of the past followed her.
Even after escaping, the mansion’s presence lingered in her mind, as though it had chosen her to carry its forgotten story. Some echoes, she realized, never truly fade.
