以下是一個英文版的鬼故事：
Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Jane who lived alone in a big old house. One night, she was woken up by a loud knock on her bedroom door. She got up and opened it to find a stranger standing there. He said he was a ghost and claimed to have been living in the house for centuries.
Jane was frightened but she tried to be calm and asked the ghost why he chose her house to haunt. The ghost said he had been sent to her by a powerful spirit who wanted her to solve a mystery that had been plaguing the house for years.
Jane agreed to help the ghost and they began to explore the house together. They discovered a hidden room filled with ancient artifacts and mysterious symbols on the walls. The ghost said that this room was the gateway to another world and that the spirit who sent him wanted Jane to unlock its secrets.
As they delved deeper into the mystery, Jane began to realize that the house was indeed haunted by more than one spirit. There were other shadowy figures lurking in the corners and behind the curtains, silently observing her every move. She felt uneasy but she also felt drawn to the house and its secrets.
Finally, after many hours of exploration, Jane discovered the mystery behind the house's hauntings. It turned out that the spirits were protecting a powerful artifact that could bring about world-changing changes. But in order to obtain it, she had to complete a series of challenges set by the spirits.
With their help, Jane managed to complete the challenges and obtained the artifact. But she also realized that she had become emotionally attached to the house and its spirits. She decided to stay and help them protect the artifact from those who would do harm to it.
From then on, Jane and the spirits lived peacefully in the old house, protected by the artifact and its powerful spirits. They became friends and shared their stories and legends with each other, creating a magical bond that lasted for generations.
