But the aforementioned apparitions are merely the vanguard of the supernatural phantasm within the mansion. A spectral matron, the once lady of the house, draped in vintage attire, roams about the mansion’s rooms and hallways, seemingly lost in the crevices of time. A chilling black Labrador, its ethereal form bathed in an unspeakable gloom, is often seen trailing her. A haunting echo of a once burning loyalty, the hound never strays far from its mistress, its phantom eyes gleaming with an inextinguishable light, portraying a melancholic tale of undying love and faithfulness. Even in their afterlives, their attachment remains unbroken and serves as an eerie reminder of the attachment they had in their terrestrial lives.
