The manor looms in the distance as the fog settles. The towering manor on the hilltop overlooked the village below, constantly watching them. I was invited to the famous Grey Manor, home of the respectable Grey family, a family of doctors and medical researchers. My beloved father, Edward Cromwell, died many years ago and I have yet to honour him except for this one chance; to meet his close friend Bishop Grey, Lord of Essen.

Apparently I was not ths only one invited. Many other notable figures were too invited to stay at the manor. It has become apparent that this may be a way for Bishop to cope with the death of his way, Doreen, yet peculiar events starts to happen. First it began with the road kill, then the unusually particular rules of the manor, then the loud weepings and the cries late at night.

There has been a local curse at the village. The ghost of the late Doreen Grey was haunting the village, abducting any villagers who saw her. They call it the Grey Curse, and none dares to speak ill of the Grey,fearful that they too might disappear forever. As the day went on it was all too convenient. The fellow guests and I decided to investigate the manor, and dark secrets begin to unravel.

People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all.

As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
