As the sun set over the small town of Willow Creek, a sense of unease settled over the residents. It was said that on certain nights, when the moon was full and the wind was just right, the old Victorian house on the hill would come alive.

Sarah spun around, but there was no one there. The whisper seemed to come from all around her, echoing off the walls.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
