The villagers often spoke in hushed tones about the mansion, weaving tales of a dark curse that had befallen it decades ago.

They said that the mansion once belonged to a wealthy landowner who, driven by greed, had delved into dark rituals to amass more wealth.

One fateful night, as the landowner performed a sinister ritual, a terrible storm struck the village. Lightning hit the mansion, setting it ablaze.

The landowner and his family vanished without a trace before the fire consumed the mansion. Since then, strange occurrences have haunted the village.

Ghostly apparitions and ominous noises were reported near the mansion. A chilling cold seemed to follow those who dared to venture close.

One night, driven by curiosity and the urge to debunk the stories, Arjun decided to investigate the mansion.

Arjun entered the mansion, armed with only a flashlight and a camera. As he ventured deeper, the air grew colder, and shadows seemed to move on their own.

In the heart of the mansion, Arjun found an old journal that chronicled the landowner's descent into madness and the dark rituals he performed.

As Arjun read aloud from the journal, the room grew colder, and his flashlight flickered. Suddenly, whispers filled the room, growing louder and more frantic.

Arjun turned to see the ghostly figures of the landowner and his family materializing before him, their faces contorted in anguish, reaching out to him.

Overwhelmed by fear, Arjun fled from the mansion, never looking back. The room spun around him, and an overpowering sense of dread followed him.

The next morning, the villagers found Arjun outside the mansion, pale and trembling, but unable to recall his experience in detail.

Arjun never spoke of that night again, and the villagers continued to live in fear of the mansion and its curse.

The mansion remained abandoned, its curse unbroken, a constant reminder of the dark forces that lurked in the shadows of the village.
