Karl's Wrath

In a quiet town stood an old Victorian house, rumored to be cursed by the wrathful spirit of a boy named Karl. Over a century ago, Karl was notorious for his explosive temper, often tormenting anyone who crossed his path. After his untimely death in a fit of rage, he was buried in the backyard, his violent spirit left to haunt the place he once called home.

Despite the stories, the Johnson family, skeptics of the supernatural, bought the house, dismissing the ghost tales as mere folklore. They were excited to renovate and make it their own. However, shortly after moving in, strange things began to happen. At first, it was small—items would go missing, whispers echoed in empty rooms, and shadows darted just out of sight.

As the days turned into weeks, the encounters grew more unsettling. The children, Emma and Jake, reported hearing a boy’s laughter and the sound of footsteps running up and down the stairs. The parents, Sarah and Tom, brushed it off as overactive imaginations. But one night, the laughter turned into a piercing scream that shattered their complacency.
