Haunted Manor
Write a story about a main character who stays at/lives in a supposedly haunted manor or castle (not a regular house.) Show the story through that character's point of view, using drama as though it were a movie. What happens? Sorry, no poetry. PROSE FICTION ONLY.
If you have a true story, fictionalize it. If fiction told in first-person, please note that in author notes.
The manor or castle doesn't have to be really haunted, just needs that reputation.
