"The Proof"
After filming in the abandoned house, the horror-obsessed friend, Zach, excitedly shows the proof of eerie sounds and shadows to his skeptical friends. Reluctant but curious, they agree to return together. As they approach the house, the air feels colder, and the house looks more sinister in the dark. A low hum begins as soon as they step inside. Despite their rising fear, they explore further, determined to prove Zach wrong-or right.

"Into the Darkness":
The group ventures deeper into the house, and strange things immediately begin happening. A chandelier above them sways despite the still air. A door that was locked swings open slowly. Sarah, the most skeptical, hears whispering behind her but when she turns, no one is there. They all feel the presence of something watching them, and panic begins to set in. Rattling noises echo through the walls, but every attempt to leave the house is met with failure-the front door won't budge, trapping them inside.

"The Books of Doom":
After what feels like hours of searching for an exit, a large door at the end of a narrow hallway creaks open. Inside, they discover an old, dust-filled room with two strange books lying on a wooden table. The first is about witchcraft and curses, and the other details hauntings in their hometown. The group reads the chilling accounts of past hauntings, realizing the house might be more than just abandoned-it could be cursed. A loud bang from the hallway interrupts their thoughts, but it's too late. Something has been awakened.

"The Haunting Follows":
Even after leaving the house, they realize that they haven't truly escaped. Bad things begin happening to each of them. Objects in their homes move on their own. Shadows appear where no one should be. Nightmares plague their sleep, with each dream more vivid and terrifying than the last. Zach, the instigator, is haunted the worst. One night, he dreams of a shadowy figure who whispers, "You can't escape this. The hauntings will follow." The creature tells him the only way to stop the curse is through the books they found in the house.

"The Final Confrontation":
Desperate, the group returns to the house in the dead of night. Armed with the cursed books, they attempt to follow the cryptic instructions inside to end the hauntings. They light candles and recite incantations, but the house seems to fight back. The floorboards creak violently, and the temperature drops. Just as all hope seems lost, they uncover a final page in the witchcraft book that demands a sacrifice. Faced with an impossible choice, they must decide how far they're willing to go to rid themselves of the hauntings forever.
