標題： The Haunted House
Once upon a time, there was a man named John who lived in a quiet village. One day, he decided to buy a haunted house in the village and move in. He had heard that the house was cursed and had many strange occurrences, but he was intrigued by the idea of exploring the unknown.
John moved into the house and began to explore its many rooms and corridors. He found himself in a room with a dark and ominous atmosphere. He noticed a shadow moving behind a curtain, but he brushed it off as his imagination playing tricks on him.
One night, John was woken up by a scream coming from downstairs. He quickly got up and went downstairs, only to find a figure in a black cloak standing in the kitchen. The figure turned out to be a woman with long black hair and deep, piercing eyes. She introduced herself as the previous owner of the house and said that she had been trapped there for years by a curse.
John felt sorry for her and decided to help her escape. He found a book in the house that contained the spell to break the curse, and they performed it together. After the spell was cast, the woman vanished, and John was left alone in his new home.
However, he soon realized that something was still not right. Shadows continued to appear in the corners of the rooms and strange noises echoed throughout the house at night. John started to fear that the curse had not been completely lifted, and he would be trapped in the house forever.
The story ends with John running out of the house in fear, never to return. The house remains empty and haunted to this day.
