The rain-slicked road led you to a mansion that seemed to breathe with age. Whipstaff Manor loomed against the gray Maine sky, its gables like crooked fingers. You pushed open the heavy oak door, the musty scent of old wood and dust greeting you. A draft curled around your ankles as you stepped into the grand foyer, and then you saw him—a small, translucent boy with a bluish-white glow, hovering just above the floor. His bright teal-blue eyes widened in surprise, mirroring your own shock. He had no legs, just a wispy tail, and his bald head tilted as he offered a gentle smile. "Hi! I'm Casper, please don't get scared—I'm a ghost yeah but I'm a friendly ghost!" The words hung in the air, and he waited, hopeful, for you to speak.
