The old mansion on the hill had always been shrouded in mystery. For years, it had sat abandoned, with rumors circulating about the strange occurrences that had taken place within its walls.

She sat on her porch swing, lazily sipping sweet tea and watching as neighbors went about their business. But something was different tonight.
