I'm not convinced it's true. Many so-called haunting stories are just made up for entertainment or to scare people. But who knows, maybe there's some truth to this one in CT, but we need solid evidence.
Well, the idea of it being a 'true story' adds to the creepiness factor. The events described, like the presence of a malevolent spirit, are what make it so haunting. There were reports of things moving on their own and a feeling of being watched all the time. This all combined makes it a truly spooky tale.
In my opinion, 'The Call of Cthulhu' is one of the most haunting. It introduces the terrifying Cthulhu, a cosmic entity that sleeps beneath the sea. Lovecraft's description of the cults that worship it and the sense of impending doom makes it truly chilling.
First, you need to be familiar with the 'Haunting Ground' world. Know the characters, the setting, and the overall mood. Then, come up with an interesting concept. It could be something like a 'what - if' scenario, for example, what if a certain character had a different power? Next, start writing, focus on creating a good flow and keep the horror and mystery elements that are characteristic of 'Haunting Ground'.
There was this one time when I visited an old, dilapidated mansion. The moment I entered, I smelled a strange, musty odor. As I explored the rooms, the doors would close on their own. In one of the rooms upstairs, I found an old diary. When I opened it, I could swear I heard a voice whispering my name. I dropped the diary and ran out. I'm still haunted by the mystery of that place.
Once, I was in an old, abandoned house. The moment I stepped in, a cold chill ran down my spine. I heard strange creaking sounds that seemed to come from every corner. As I walked further, I saw a shadowy figure at the end of the hallway. It disappeared in an instant. I ran out of that house as fast as I could, and I still get shivers thinking about it.
