to settle in around them whispering

2:04
watched her eyes kept drifting to the
2:06
mirror where she swore she saw movement
2:08
out of the corner of her
2:10
eye but each time she looked directly at
2:13
it the room was still
2:21
the first night passed with only the
2:22
mildest of disturbances the occasional
2:25
creek of the floorboards and the distant
2:27
sound of a mournful tune played on an
2:30
unseen piano emma and Mark shared a
2:33
knowing smile thrilled by the ambiance
2:35
that seemed straight out of a Stephen
2:37
King novel the following day they
2:39
decided to explore the town eager to
2:42
uncover the history behind the hauntings
2:44
the Willow Inn is a beacon for those who
2:47
can't let go their tour led them to the
2:50
town cemetery where the headstones
2:52
whispered the names of those who had
2:53
once called Willow's Edge home a gentle
2:57
breeze played through the leaves
2:59
carrying with it the scent of earth and
3:01
decay as they read the inscriptions Emma
3:04
felt an eerie kinship with those long
3:06
gone
3:18
the cemetery visit had stirred something
3:20
within her and Emma found herself drawn
3:22
to the mirror in room 13 with a newfound
3:26
curiosity do you think there's really
3:28
something
3:29
there only if you keep staring at it
3:31
like that she sat before it her eyes
3:34
searching the reflection for any sign of
3:36
the restless spirits said to haunt the
3:38
inn you're getting too absorbed in these
3:41
ghost stories mark teased her for being
3:44
too absorbed in the ghost stories but
3:46
the way the shadows danced in the
3:48
mirror's depths was unsettling that
3:51
evening as they sat in the dimly lit
3:53
tavern below the inn sharing stories
3:55
with the locals the conversation grew
3:58
more serious i saw a ghostly figure
4:00
wandering the halls forever searching
4:02
for her lost child i've heard the cries
4:05
of drowned sailors in the foggy night
4:08
one by one the town's folk revealed
4:10
their own encounters with the
4:11
supernatural each tale more hairraising
4:14
than the last a young woman spoke of a
4:17
ghostly figure that wandered the halls
4:19
forever searching for her lost child
4:22
while an old fisherman spoke of hearing
4:24
the cries of drowned sailors in the
4:26
foggy night the air grew thick with
4:28
anticipation as the town's folk spoke
4:31
the candles casting eerie shadows on
4:33
their faces
4:36
emma felt a shiver run down her spine as
4:39
she realized the weight of the unseen
4:41
world pressing in around them but it
4:43
wasn't until they retired to their room
4:45
that the real haunting
4:48
began as they lay in bed the mirror's
4:51
silver surface rippled like water and a
4:53
faint image began to form a woman
4:56
dressed in tattered 19th century garb
4:58
her eyes filled with a sadness that
5:00
seemed to pierce the very fabric of the
5:02
room she held out a hand beckoning Emma
5:09
closer mark stirred in his sleep unaware
5:12
of the spectral figure now standing
5:14
beside their
5:16
bed the woman's eyes pleaded with Emma
5:19
her hand reaching out desperate for
5:22
connection emma's heart pounded the room
5:24
feeling colder the air thick with unshed
5:27
tears as she reached out to touch the
5:29
hand a sudden gust of wind slammed the
5:32
window shut jolting Mark awake the
5:34
figure vanished leaving only the echo of
5:36
a sorrowful sigh "you okay?" "Yeah just
5:39
a bad dream." Emma nodded swallowing her
5:41
fear "yeah just a bad dream," she lied
5:45
not ready to share the reality of what
5:47
she'd just seen but as she lay there
5:49
listening to the rhythmic patter of his
5:51
heart she knew the true story of the
5:53
sleepy willow inn was only just
5:55

6:05
dreams leaving her feeling like she had

the river was well worn as if it had
9:57
been trotten by countless lost souls
9:59
seeking solace in the water's embrace

between them that transcended the

indicated the air grew thick with a
10:57
palpable sadness the river's whispers
11:00
grew louder and Emma could almost make
11:02
out the shape of a small child playing
11:04
in the rippling moonlight

the spirit of Allar knelt beside the
11:09
water her hand outstretched like a
11:11
handful of river water and gently placed
11:13
it on Ara's outstretched palm the water
11:16
shimmerred and the ghostly figure of a
11:18
child emerged looking up with eyes
11:20
filled with hope aara's sorrowful
11:23
expression crumpled into one of joyous
11:31
disbelief tears welled in Emma's eyes as
