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?

DEADPAN by themariejoanna

"She doesn't want the house. She wants me-and she won't stop until she wears my skin." Some houses keep secrets. Larkspur House keeps the dead. Sloane Blackwood needs a reset. Divorced, broke, and emotionally fried, she heads to a fog-soaked town to claim her inheritance: a crumbling Victorian mansion on a cliff. She expects water damage and bad vibes-not a full-time ghost with a superiority complex. Edward Larkspur has been dead for 120 years and has opinions about the living. Especially this new woman stomping through his house. But if she solves the mystery of his death, he might finally be free. Together, they'll unravel a century-old murder, outwit nosy locals, and maybe-just maybe-fall into a love that defies death. If the house doesn't kill them first.

Whispers in the Walls by ShingCedj

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.

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.

The House That Whispers by beingillusionist

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That Whispers
