In the southern overgrown woods stands a dilapidated old house. As you approach, a severe sense of terror grips you, like icy fingers wrapping around your spine. You hesitate, but curiosity drives you forward. You step onto the creaky floorboards of the porch, each groan of the wood echoing like a warning. You push open the door, which is covered in thick, twisting ivy.
Reflections of Terror
On a full moon night, deep within the shadowy woods, the Hunter sisters—Hazel, Mama Sante, and Madam Helga—gathered around a large, bubbling cauldron. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and the whisper of ancient incantations as the sisters prepared to cast a spell that would awaken the spirits of their long-dead ancestors buried in the Hunter family graveyard.
The fire beneath the cauldron crackled with unnatural vigor, sending flickers of light dancing across their faces. Hazel, the oldest and most powerful of the sisters, chanted the final words of the spell. The ground trembled as a surge of dark energy pulsed through the night. One by one, the graves began to stir, and the souls of the departed rose from their eternal slumber.
The spirits, now free from their graves, drifted toward the large, abandoned Hunter mansion that loomed at the edge of the cemetery. As they entered, the house groaned in response, as if recognizing the return of its former inhabitants. A thick, misty vapor began to seep through the walls, engulfing the house in a spectral glow. The ghosts and ghouls wandered its halls, filling the mansion with an eerie presence.
But the sisters, in their eagerness to bring back their family, had made a grave mistake. The spell had not only awakened the souls of their ancestors, but it had also summoned an ancient and malevolent demon spirit—one that had been banished centuries ago. From the depths of the earth, the demon rose, bringing with it the hounds of hell, their eyes burning with fire and their growls echoing like thunder through the night.
The sisters felt a cold, creeping dread as they realized what they had done. The demon, sensing their fear, unleashed the hounds, who tore through the woods with ferocious speed, their howls sending chills down the spines of the witches.
As the mist thickened around the mansion, the sisters knew they had to escape the terror they had unleashed. But the house had other plans. The doors slammed shut, the windows barred themselves, and the walls seemed to pulse with a sinister energy. The once-abandoned mansion was now alive, a trap set by the very spirits they had summoned.
Desperation set in as the sisters fought to find a way out, but the demon’s power was overwhelming. The hounds closed in, their eyes locked onto their prey. The mist swirled around them, obscuring their vision, distorting their senses. The Hunter sisters were trapped, prisoners of the house they had unwittingly turned into a vessel for evil.
In the heart of the mansion, the demon watched with gleeful malice as the sisters struggled against their fate. The very souls they had summoned to protect them now served as the demon’s minions, their spectral forms twisting into grotesque shapes, their once-familiar faces now twisted with malevolence.
With no escape in sight, the sisters did the only thing they could—they turned their power inward, casting one final spell. The ground beneath the mansion shook, the walls groaned in protest, and the mist began to swirl into a vortex. The demon roared in anger as the sisters sacrificed themselves to contain the evil they had unleashed.
The mansion collapsed in on itself, swallowed by the earth, taking the demon, the hounds, and the sisters with it. The graveyard returned to its eerie silence, and the woods were still once more.
But on nights when the moon is full, a faint mist still rises from where the mansion once stood, and the howls of hellish hounds echo through the trees, a reminder of the night the Hunter family house was consumed by the darkness.
