The Empty House: A Collection of Horrors
The Empty House: A Collection of Horrors
The night was cold, and the wind howled like a mourning spirit. James pulled his coat tighter as he approached the abandoned house at the end of Hollow Street. The place had been deserted for decades, yet it was infamous for the horrors whispered among the town folk. Tonight, he was determined to uncover the truth.
James turned to his friend, Mark, who hesitated at the front gate. "Are you sure about this?" Mark asked, his voice barely audible over the rustling leaves.
"We need proof, Mark," James replied, pushing open the rusty gate. It creaked eerily, sending a shiver down his spine.
They stepped onto the overgrown path leading to the front door. The house loomed over them, its dark windows like hollow eyes watching their every move. James reached out and turned the handle. The door swung open with a groan.
"This place smells like death," Mark whispered.
James stepped inside first, his flashlight cutting through the thick darkness. Dust particles danced in the air, disturbed by their arrival. The wooden floor creaked beneath their feet.
Suddenly, a distant whisper echoed through the house.
"Did you hear that?" Mark gasped.
James nodded. The sound had come from upstairs.
Determined, they climbed the winding staircase. Each step groaned under their weight. As they reached the second floor, a sudden thud came from the room at the end of the hallway.
Mark grabbed James' arm. "Maybe we should leave. Now."
James shook him off. "No. We're here for answers."
He pushed the door open. The room was empty, except for a rocking chair swaying back and forth as if someone had just risen from it.
Then, a whisper brushed against James' ear. "You shouldn't have come."
His blood ran cold. Mark saw the terror in his eyes and bolted. James turned to follow but froze as he saw a shadowy figure standing in the doorway.
"Who are you?" James demanded, his voice trembling.
The figure stepped closer, revealing hollow sockets where eyes should have been. "We are the forgotten," it murmured.
James screamed as the darkness engulfed him.
The next morning, the townspeople found the house just as it always had been—empty, silent, and haunted. But James and Mark were never seen again.
Some say if you listen closely on a stormy night, you can still hear their whispers, trapped forever in the empty house.
But the story does not end there.
Several years later, a group of urban explorers, fascinated by the mystery surrounding the house, decided to document their experience. Among them was Lisa, a paranormal investigator, who believed the house held secrets yet to be uncovered.
"This place gives me chills," one of the explorers, Daniel, muttered as they approached the front steps.
Lisa held up her camera. "Stay close. If the legends are true, we may not be alone."
They stepped inside. The air was thick with the scent of decay, and a suffocating silence filled the space. The wooden floor beneath them groaned as if waking from a deep slumber.
"Let's check the second floor," Lisa suggested, leading the way up the staircase.
As they reached the top, a cold breeze swept through the hallway. The rocking chair in the corner began to move on its own.
"No way," Daniel whispered, recording the scene. "This is insane."
Then, a voice echoed from the darkness. "Leave... now..."
The group froze. The temperature in the room plummeted.
Lisa stepped forward. "Who are you? What happened here?"
A shadow appeared at the doorway, the same hollow-eyed figure James had encountered years before. "They never left," it whispered.
Suddenly, the walls seemed to close in. The group felt an invisible force pulling them toward the center of the room. Lisa struggled to move, but her limbs were frozen.
"We have to get out of here!" Daniel shouted.
Lisa fought against the force, reaching for her camera. She managed to click a picture before the room went pitch black.
When the light returned, they found themselves outside the house, gasping for air.
"What the hell just happened?" Daniel panted.
Lisa checked her camera. The last image was of a pale face staring directly at the lens, with hollow, empty eyes.
They ran, leaving the house and its dark secrets behind. But Lisa knew one thing for sure—something still lurked within those walls, waiting for the next foolish soul to step inside.
And the whispers would never stop.
