Chapter 9: Ghostly Apparitions
(The scene opens with the family trying to shake off the feeling of being watched.)
Mary: (nervously) Okay, let's try to focus on something else. Who's up for some hot chocolate?
Lucy: (excitedly) I am!
Nora: (jumps up and down) Me! Me!
Jack: (smirks) Alright, let's get some hot chocolate.
(As they head to the kitchen, they start to notice strange apparitions out of the corner of their eyes.)
Lucy: (gasps) Mom, what's that?
Mary: (follows Lucy's gaze) What's what, sweetie?
Lucy: (points) That...that thing.
(Mary turns to look, but there's nothing there.)
Mary: (reassuringly) It's okay, Lucy. There's nothing there.
Jack: (skeptical) Actually, I think I saw something too.
Nora: (screams) Mommy!
(Suddenly, a ghostly figure materializes in front of them...)
Chapter 10: Grandma's Ghost
(The scene opens with the family frozen in terror as they stare at the ghostly figure in front of them.)
Mary: (whispers) Grandma?
Grandma's Ghost: (smiles) Mary, dear. I've been waiting for you.
Lucy: (terrified) Mom, what's going on?
Mary: (tries to compose herself) It's okay, Lucy. It's just Grandma's ghost.
Jack: (skeptical) Mary, are you sure this is a good idea?
Mary: (firmly) We need to talk to her, Jack. We need to know what's going on.
Grandma's Ghost: (nods) Yes, Mary. I have a lot to tell you.
(The family cautiously begins to listen to Grandma's ghost, but they soon realize that she's not the only spirit in the house...)
Chapter 11: Malevolent Spirits
(The scene opens with Grandma's ghost telling the family a dark and sinister story.)
Grandma's Ghost: (whispers) This house has a long history of tragedy and sorrow. Many people have died here, and their spirits still linger.
Lucy: (terrified) What kind of spirits?
Grandma's Ghost: (sadly) Malevolent spirits. They're angry and resentful, and they'll stop at nothing to harm the living.
Nora: (whimpers) Mommy, I'm scared.
Mary: (comforts her) It's okay, sweetie. We'll protect you.
Jack: (firmly) We need to get out of here. Now.
Grandma's Ghost: (shakes her head) You can't leave. The spirits won't let you.
(Suddenly, the lights in the house begin to flicker, and the family hears strange and ominous noises...)
