    As they wandered through the castle's ancient corridors, they felt a sudden drop in temperature. An eerie silence fell upon them, followed by a chilling whisper that sent shivers down their spines.

    Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared before them. It was the creepy ghost of a former resident, seemingly trapped within the castle walls.

    The ghost began to communicate, telling them about an ancient curse placed upon him for a crime he didn't commit. His voice echoed through the castle, filled with sorrow and regret.

    Overwhelmed, the ghost thanked them. His spectral form started to fade, and the gloomy atmosphere of the castle began to lift.
