Summary

In a moonlit Victorian mansion, a man delves into his family's mysterious past. As night falls, the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur. When an unwilling friend is drawn into a late-night escapade, he finds himself caught between loyalty and an unsettling presence that seems to permeate the old house. In this chilling tale of family secrets and spectral mysteries, the true nature of inheritance is called into question. As the night deepens, so too does the sense that some legacies are not easily claimed, and some spirits are not ready to relinquish their hold on the living. Will the secrets of the old house be revealed, or will they remain hidden in the shadows of the past? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
