It was getting dark as the amusement park grew more sinister. There were no lights in the area, and it was surrounded by land that was about to be developed. Dark shadows cast by the five-or-six storey building hovered over them, and inexplicable shadows swayed together with the night breeze.
Although there were more than ten of them combined, it still gave them goosebumps all over.
A sudden gust of cold wind was accompanied by strange sounds; no one knew if it was the sound of wind coming through the hall or a sound made from a strange creature, but the atmosphere turned spooky. Stanley shivered as he rubbed the goosebumps on his arm and said, “We should probably leave, Sophia. Sarah is such a scaredy cat, and I don’t think she will come here.”
Stanley’s voice slowly trailed off, seeming as though he was afraid of disturbing the monsters in the park.
This place really made them uncomfortable; it felt as though a thousand pairs of eyes were staring at them in the dark.
This place was known to be haunted as there had been several murder cases around the vicinity. Due to the expropriation of the vast area, it had been empty for years. Since it was within uncharted territory, many murderers chose this area to dump their victims’ bodies…
According to rumors, there were people who were keen on developing this place into a full-fledged haunted house.
Sophia used the flashlight on her cell phone and shone it along the park as goosebumps prickled all over her body.
However, the faint light from her cell phone was not enough to pierce through the thick black night. The wind blew against the weeds while it swayed against the groups’ thighs. As they trudged through, it felt very weird and bizarre.
Sophia’s heart pounded as she touched her bag. Before she left the house earlier, Sophia had secretly brought a gun with her. A sense of security filled her heart when she touched the hard object.
“This place is not that big; let’s search carefully and leave after one round.”
Afraid of leaving each other, they moved as one group and walked deeper into the amusement park.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream filled with immense fear and pain came from the depths of the amusement park.
Upon this, bats scurried toward the sky in fright as the group of people were also shocked by the scream.
“That’s Sarah’s voice!”
Happy to have found Sarah, Stanley exclaimed happily as the group quickly ran toward the sound.
It was an abandoned bumper car site. After years of being abandoned, the place was dark and cold with strange graffiti plastered all over its walls. There was a strange smell in the air, and the roof was broken with a glimpse of moonlight shining down. It made the place even more eerie and sinister.
The scream earlier had amplified the dreadful atmosphere in the air, and the group rushed in as their footsteps shook the dust off the structural beams, causing a layer of dust to cover the scary, terrifying scene.
The second blood-curdling scream could be heard again, which sounded absolutely terrifying and helpless. Seemingly not too far away from the group, it resonated within the empty building and masked the place with a layer of creepiness; while everyone’s nerves seemed to have torn apart, notification bells could be heard ringing continuously from someone’s cell phone.
The empty house fell silent once again after the screaming ended, but that scream continued to echo in their ears as their bodies tensed up in response. They held their breaths as they hurriedly ran inside.
Deep in the house, the sound of something being pushed down echoed throughout the space; it felt like a drum beating on their hearts. As the group turned a corner, they saw a person standing in the middle of a corridor while the moonlight shone through the broken roof.
A petite figure with long, black hair stood there motionlessly.
“Sarah?”
Sean called out first.
That person moved in response to his voice; as her stiffened body turned around like a puppet, Sarah looked at them in a weird position with her torso twisted and her head cocked to one side.
