Keisha thought the haunted house was just town gossip—until strange voices, flickering lights, and slamming doors became impossible to ignore. But this single mother wasn’t one to run. When her kids begged to leave, she stayed calm, even as the local barista warned her of an old psychic’s curse.
It all changed the night Keisha found a hidden door in the basement. Inside? A passageway used to stage the hauntings. Determined to uncover the truth, she set a trap—pretending to find treasure. That night, the barista crept in through the tunnel, flashlight in hand, only to be caught red-handed by the police Keisha had tipped off.
His motive? Revenge. His mother, the psychic’s stepdaughter, was cut out of the inheritance. They’d faked hauntings for years to scare off buyers, hoping to claim the rumored treasure. But Keisha had spotted the clues—a photo at the library, the same face on a shop wall, the glove in the basement.
In the end, it wasn’t ghosts that haunted that house—it was greed.
Lesson:
Don’t let fear blind you to the truth. Sometimes what we believe is supernatural is just someone trying to control us. Courage and curiosity will always uncover the real story.
