Sarah was reading a book. Beside her, Sophia was giving Sarah some company.

Sarah lived on rent in the house of Cathy Mark. She was a professor in a university. She could live in her parents' house also but her university was too away from there. Apparently, the petrol's charge in her car would cost more than the rent she was paying.
Due to construction issues, the payment of some teachers was stopped since 5 months. Sarah was one of them.

She was managing everything from 5 months in just $10, 000 and even out of them she had saved $4000 for rent. It was simple that she was facing financial distress in even her daily life. Before buying anything, she had to think thrice.

Knock…It was Mrs. Mark. She said “Sarah, why are you so ignorant about paying the rent since 3 months ? ” in a high voice. It was the 4th month and Sarah had to pay $8000 in total. She gave the saved $4000 to Mrs. Mark.

Cathy said “The rest $4, 140 ? ” “$140? For what ?” “$40 for electricity and $100 for late payment ” Sarah asked why she should overpay, but Mrs. Mark said “ I am not taking any interest, it is your indiscipline that you don't pay rent on time. $200 are less for your careless behavior ”

Sarah was feeling tormented but Cathy added “If you will not pay $4, 600 on time, I will kick you out of my house! DON'T TEST MY PATIENCE! ” Sarah was appalled. She was thinking what she should do when suddenly a message came on her phone. It was a message from the bank. It read “Dear customer, a transfer of $50, 000 has been carried in your...” It was from the university.

Sarah went to Mrs. Mark and said “Please take your money, and find a new renter ”

A few days ago, Olivia had sent Sarah some pictures of a vacant home. The house was only 60 meters from Olivia's home. She, along with Sophia, got shifted into the new house.

“Wait a minute... Is this house 100 years old?” asked Sarah to herself. The house was too unsanitary. It was decorated with lizards, cockroaches, moths, flies, mosquitoes and spiders with their webs. The tiles were washed with dust, it appeared.

Sarah took a picture of the home's condition and sent it to Olivia with a message "You suggested me a very clean house 😅"

Sarah was feeling weary as she was already tired from the journey and now she had to clean everything. Sophia couldn't do anything in this. All of the sudden, Olivia jumped out of nowhere. Sophia climbed up Olivia and started licking her. She said “Sophia loves me very much” Mrs. Clinton came smiling and said “Maybe because you look like her”

Olivia and her mother helped Sarah in cleaning the house. All of them divided chores and started cleaning. The house looked new but it was 9:30 p.m. now.


Mrs. Clinton told Sarah and Olivia that the owners had died 19 years ago. “Since then, 20 families have lived here. But, the unusual thing is that no one lived here for more than 1 month. ” Sarah and Olivia were surprised. She added “People spread rumors about this house as Henry and Harper Clive, the owners have died. ”

Sarah asked “So do the people say that this house has geister? ” Mrs. Clinton said “Yes. I informed you to check whether you have any issue with this, but I can not continue because Olivia is getting scared. ” Olivia was indeed scared, but she showed interest. She asked “What about the families who lived here? What did they say? ”

Mrs. Rose said “Some believe those families died or suddenly disappeared mysteriously and some locals say they ( the families) saw abnormal things in this house ” Olivia said “ If I knew this before, I would never suggest you this home to live in. ” Sarah said “No worries, I am not scared of, neither believe these things. But why do you Olivia? "

Mrs. Clinton explained “When Olivia was 6, we were once traveling to another city. Tired, we decided to stay somewhere. Fortunately, we found the hotel “ Traveller's Rest ” I found a place for parking our car. When we went inside, it was pitch black.”

“Suddenly, from nowhere, a women came to us. She was the reciptionist. She asked me “ What do you want ma'am? It's 9:45 p.m? ” I said “Can we get a room? We are traveling to the next city. It is very late.” The woman laughed and said “ You also appear to be a ghost” Olivia held my hand and rushed towards our car. ”

Sarah smiled and said “So all the problem was created from 'also'? ” “Yes. She was a wraith! ” whispered Olivia. Mrs. Clinton said “Maybe the lady had met a person earlier also who appeared to be a ghost.” Sarah laughed saying “Olivia was dump those days”.

“ 'Horrible and creepy' is not a subject to laugh at. What will you do when you will find a haunted basement in this house, dearest friend? ” said Olivia. Mrs. Clinton and Sarah exclaimed “What basement are you telling about? ” Olivia said “I have read most horror stories with a basement” Mrs. Rose and Sarah laughed.



“Oh no! It's 10:20 p.m.” exclaimed Sarah.
“ If you need, we can stay here with you" said Olivia. “ It's ok, thankyou Olivia ” said Sarah. Mrs. Clinton said “I can't leave you alone...
