Belle, an art student in need of a place to work on the paintings for her evaluation, makes the mistake of leaving it to her bungling cousin Craig to find that place for her.
And find her a place, he did...

"Craig! You said this house was, and I quote, 'pretty and quaint, rich in history and character.' You did NOT say that it was squalid and putrid, rich in bad odours and horror! Come on! The lights aren't even working!"

"I am in a house that has seen smugglers, refugees and criminals passing through its hallways. A house where broken clocks kick up a storm of sound at random intervals, a place where time doesn't matter and every minute hand follows its own path. An old mansion filled with sounds and secrets. Really nothing to inspire peace of mind..."

As a storm wreaks havoc and the house wakes up, Belle is increasingly bugged by one very important question: Is the man sharing the house with her real, or is he just a very sexy mop?

Beware [COMPLETED] by Clumsy_weirdo_353

The ghost of John Marshall has always been reported to lurk around his old mansion. The three storey mansion that is surrounded by miles and miles of trees, and no life in between. It is said that no man who has had the intentions of trespassing on his property, has ever returned. However, rumours are just rumours, right? Autumn O'Neil has, yet again, persuaded her friends to go on an expedition with her. Where her courage and bravely used to shock them before, now it's a norm for them. The unsuspecting group of friends pack their bags and leave for the haunted mansion in the midst of the forest for two weeks. The friends don't even get to settle there, when things start happening. Disturbing and peculiar things. Things that make them all want to leave, but can it really be simple when one by one, all of them start disappearing? All except Autumn. Trapped in the labyrinth of hidden diaries, torn up wills, restless spirits, anomalous mazes and old relatives, Autumn is expected to solve the mystery of John Marshall. __________________________________________________________________________________ "A brilliant story.

Now, this spirit needs Bash's help to end the monsters once and for all. But is sharing his body with a ghost too much to ask?

There is a room. A room deep within in a supposedly haunted mansion, deep within the bayous of New Orleans. In that room laid a secret, a secret that led to other secrets. Secrets that wanted to be kept. Secrets that shouldn't be touched. There laid a woman, a sister... The one who starts this story and ends it. In this old Victorian-like mansion lives six brothers, and with them lives their guardian that was instructed to watch over them.

Conniving and manipulative they are, but a girl who has lived with them for some time was able to warm at least one of their hearts, and unknowingly open the door to the room with a dark secret.

Starry Eyed Fighters by JirehCrowell

Belle grew up with a relatively normal life in Ireland, raised by her grandparents who nurtured her into adulthood. However, after learning the truth about her real parents following her college graduation, her world shifted. The mystery of her parents' sudden disappearance began to weigh heavily on her, filling her with unanswered questions. Determined to uncover the truth about this crucial part of her life, Belle decided to stop living in the dark. As a brilliant professor at Silver Lining University, she leveraged every advantage at her disposal-tapping into the institution's vast network of resources, connections, and research tools. After years of investigation, she finally stumbled upon a lead: an abandoned, once-hidden village buried in rumors. The village was said to have once been home to vampires, human-like aliens, and other rare magical creatures, but the most troubling rumor tied the place to a series of strange disappearances over the years-disappearances that Belle realized were connected to her parents. Armed with this knowledge and driven by her unrelenting determination, Belle embarks on a journey to the village, hoping to uncover the answers she had been longing for a couple years.

Unwanted- COMPLETED ✔ (EDITING) by Kenopsia5

"Do you really love me?" What happens when an introverted girl meets one of the most popular guys in school? Nothing good, let me tell you that. She's bullied, has a messed up past but, what about this cool new guy she meets? Will he be any different from her or will he be just another jerk that makes her life a living hell? It's just some things can't be kept secret. But this, this her story of how everything changes. Her life will never be the same. A/N Everything is just weird in the beginning so please just bare with me here, it will improve as you go along. It's so kind of obvious that I was a beginner when I started this so I never knew what POV to put it in. Also, this is the new description I made for this, hope it's less cringey. Prepare for a unusual, confusingly cheesy since I wrote it, twist ending. Tbh, I don't think I will edit any time soon, lol. Adios beautiful people! XOXO
