Once upon a time, in a small town, there was a spooky old house on the edge of the forest. No one dared to go near it because they believed it was haunted. One day, a brave girl named Lily decided to solve the mystery of the haunted house. She gathered her friends, Sam and Emma, and together they ventured into the creepy place.

As they stepped inside, the door creaked shut, trapping them inside the haunted house. The windows were covered in cobwebs, and there were strange noises coming from every corner. The friends knew they had to find a way out. They split up to search for clues.

Lily found an old diary hidden under a dusty bookshelf. It belonged to the previous owner of the house, Mr. Jenkins. The diary revealed a secret hiding place in the basement. Now they had to figure out how to open the secret passage.

Sam, being the strong and clever one, noticed a pattern on the walls. By pressing certain bricks in a particular order, they managed to open the secret passage. They descended into the dark basement, armed with flashlights.

In the basement, they encountered strange shadows and eerie sounds. But they didn't give up. Emma, with her deep knowledge of puzzles, deciphered a cryptic message carved on the wall. It provided a clue to the way out.

Following the clue, the friends discovered a hidden door behind a dusty painting. They pushed it open and found themselves in a beautiful garden. They were finally out of the haunted house!

As they walked back to town, Lily, Sam, and Emma discussed how they solved the mystery. They realized that by working together, using their individual skills, they were able to overcome their fears and solve the problem. They also concluded that sometimes things are not as scary as they seem.
