Beware of the ghosts. If you are brave enough to stick around, please highlight, clap and comment.

The lonely house sat atop a cliff on the Scottish coast, waves crashing far below, gulls keening far above.

Peter approached along the single-track road, dark clouds gathering above. A shiver passed unexpectedly down his back. Ghost stories had been told about this place for over two hundred years. Peter didn’t believe them, but he couldn’t control his fear.

Finally, he was at the front door. A grey face appeared in the window to his right, staring blankly at him. Then, it smiled. The malevolence was palpable. A hand reached through the glass. No living soul heard Peter’s scream.
