Rumors about the old house had started a long time ago, even before she was born. The place was in disrepair and parents often warned their children to stay clear of it. Most probably didn't believe in the ghost tales the house got swept up in. However, parents didn't want their children stepping foot inside an abandoned house that was most likely rotting away from neglect.
Unfortunately, all those warning had just turned the house into an attraction for teens with nothing better to do.
It'd become a test of courage to step into the house alone. Often, you were expected to snap a photo of yourself inside the building to prove you'd actually done it. There were plenty of times that people would run out of the building with fear in their eyes. Sputtering out stories about a ghost, though no one believed them. Those people did end up turning into the laughing stocks of the school though.
Now here she was, standing in front of the old house. It wasn't for a test of courage. Her interest had been drawn in my the murder that'd happened here last month. One of the guys from the football team had gone in for a test of courage. When no one had seen him on Friday night for the game, he'd ended up leaving the house in a body bag on Saturday morning.
The police tape had been removed last week, all the evidence they could possibly find apparently collected. No more cruisers outside to make sure no one stepped in and contaminated the scene. Now was her chance. How could she possibly pass up a murder mystery in a supposedly haunted house?
As she opened the door and stepped into the house, the ginger was fully aware that her decision making skills were absolute shit. Perhaps she was just lacking the necessary thought process to make sure she prioritized living over her own curiosity.
Oh well.
