The haunted house
Simon had always dreamed of buying an old house and fixing it up himself. So when he got the opportunity to buy a dilapidated house in the country for a good price, he didn't hesitate. He moved in and immediately began renovating.
But it didn't take long before he started noticing strange things happening in the house. When he was alone, he heard sounds from other rooms, as if someone was moving there. He saw shadows disappearing as he looked closer at them. And one evening, as he sat reading in his favorite armchair, he suddenly felt a cold hand caress his cheek.
Simon got scared and started to wonder if the house was really haunted as the rumor said. He tried to tell his family and friends, but no one believed him. They said he was imagining things because of all the hard work he put into the house.
But Simon knew there was something more. One night, as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a voice whispering his name. He felt paralyzed and could not move. The voice said it was his turn to leave the house now, that it was no longer his.
Simon didn't know what to do. He didn't dare to stay in the house, but he also didn't want to leave everything he had built up. So he made a decision. He would stay and prove to everyone that the house was indeed haunted.
He started recording all the strange happenings and showed them to his family and friends. Eventually they began to believe in him and they helped him try to remove the haunted forces from the house. They used different methods, such as hiring a priest to perform a blessing, or using herbal incense to drive away the evil spirits.
In the end, they managed to get rid of the haunted forces and Simon could finally relax and enjoy himself
