               There were two boys named Nick and Mark, they both were riding bicycles after some time
               they stopped by one house and started talking with each other. Nick informs Mark that a family

               used to live here but after some time they disappeared, when Marks inquired to know more

               about the family, Nick informs that a spirit used to live here that has cursed the family and no
               one has any idea about the family where it has gone afterward, moreover there was a woman

               who lived here and had a daughter who died when her daughter died, her mother was blamed
               for her death and she took her life by hanging from a fan. Mark claims that he has heard a

               different story, there was a monster who lived here and murdered the entire family. It means

               that there are 2 different stories associated with this house but no one knew the actual story
               behind it. One of the boys began to move toward the house, but the other boy stopped him, but

               he insisted on coming inside and told him not to be afraid. When they both moved toward the
               door of the house, they saw two men by the window and they started to run away in a frightful

               manner.
               After some days a man named Alex arrives in a car with his son Ron at the same place where

               the two boys were standing, someone told him that ghosts live in this house. He wanted to do

               something adventurous so comes to see the house, he starts moving towards the house door,
               and he also notices a man standing by the window, but he ignored him and walks into the house

               which was very spooky and scary, after exploring some part of the house he finds a locked door
               in the basement, he ignores the door and climbs towards the second floor of the house, where

               he finds a photo frame with a broken glass with a man’s photo in it. Meanwhile, he notices a

               suspicious thing behind him. He saw the reflection of that unknown entity in the glass of the
               photo frame when he looked back to see, there was nothing. Suddenly his son starts screaming

               “dad, dad!” When he goes to see his son, he finds that the car in which his son was there was
               surrounded by 10 wild dogs. Somehow, he managed to ward off the dogs and left the place

               immediately. Ron was not able to walk due to a broken leg so his father carried him to the

               inside of the house, after having dinner they both started watching T.V, Ron asked his father
               “why did we come here? I don’t want to live in this place” his father says “we have to live here

               for some time, later we will leave this place.” He promises her that he will take Ron to a water
               park,  he  becomes  happy  and  agrees  to  stay  here,  they  both  have  a  little  conversation  and

               afterward they go to sleep, on the same night Alex notices the howling of the dogs when he



                                                                                                      124
