    When Amelia received the letter stating she had inherited Ravenwood Manor, she was filled with bewilderment and curiosity. Having lived in the city her whole life, she felt drawn towards this unexpected rural inheritance.

    Upon her arrival at the manor, Amelia could feel a chill running down her spine. The manor was old and eerie, with an aura of the forgotten past looming around it.

    The next day, Amelia discovered a hidden room in the manor. It was dusty and untouched, filled with old portraits and journals. One portrait, in particular, caught her eye.

    The portrait was of a young woman, eerily similar to Amelia, her eyes filled with desperation. The nameplate read "Eleanor." The moment she read the name, a cold gust blew through the room.

    That night, Amelia was visited by a ghostly figure of Eleanor. The apparition pleaded for help, her voice echoing with sadness and fear. Amelia was terrified but felt a strange sense of empathy.

    Amelia decided to help Eleanor and started to investigate her story. She found out Eleanor was accused of witchcraft and was executed by the townsfolk, her spirit trapped in the manor.

    Amelia learned that Eleanor was innocent and was framed by the jealous Mayor's wife. Eleanor's spirit could only rest if the truth was revealed and her name was cleared.

    The discovery of an ancient diary in the manor's library provided Amelia with the evidence she needed to prove Eleanor's innocence. She decided to present this evidence to the town council.

    Amelia fought back, using the old relics she found in the manor. With Eleanor's guidance, she was able to fend off the vengeful spirits, but the real battle was yet to come.
