    15-year-old Maudie has been feeling a bit... strange around Ezra lately. The fact that she stares at him all the time, laughs at everything he says, or how she dresses up more whenever they meet up to hang out. She was quite aware that she had a crush on him. However, Ezra doesn't seem to be sharing the same feelings back. Their love was unrequited. This story is basically an innocent romantic slice-of-life story that will slowly help with the character development. (Perfect way to let go of my drafted oneshots πŸ‘) WARNING: I'm not going to mention and investigating cus idk how to do that. I do not own the InBESTigators or the story pictures GOOD STORY PLOT BUT MEDIOCRE ENGLISH I SHIP THE CHARACTERS, NOT THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY THEM

    What does it mean to be haunted? Long before the wood and stone began to crumble and crack, nothing sane or reasonable festered in the years the House stood empty. Holding whatever darkness and secrets within the walls of limestone and brick. No one, alive or dead, can truly prove to exist under the extreme conditions of the reality we have created or believe in. That I know to be true beyond belief, more than I could ever understand within the dream-like halls that rotted around me. Before you or I began to see where time left nothing spared, unchanged, or unchallenged. Amongst the places where mirrors are broken, doors are slammed shut, and brick walls hide where secrets and silence mix within the darkness that only I must traverse now. You are now complicit, dear reader, in the uncovering of what is within these pages of my experiences within the Crain House. And whatever walked there did not walk alone, knowing there is truth behind madness and lies.

Ever since Heather took her own life, Ryan has battled with a deep feeling that something more had been involved in her suicide and in Izza's death than had come to light the night Heather took her own life. Ryan finds out that his wife Mandy had been keeping a secret. What is the secret? Heather was always so kind to both Jacob and himself and everyone else around her. Ryan decided to begin a new investigation which he hoped would lead to the "real" truth, and who forced Heather into accusing Jacob for murdering Izza Miller.
