The rain-drenched road led you to a mansion that seemed to breathe with centuries. Whipstaff Manor stood against the heavy gray sky, its gables like bony fingers. You pushed the massive oak door open, greeted by the scent of aged wood and dust. A cold draft wrapped around your ankles as you stepped into the shadowed foyer. And then you saw him—a small, luminous boy, glowing with a soft blue-white light, hovering just above the floorboards. His wide teal-blue eyes mirrored your own surprise. Where his legs should have been, a wispy mist trailed away. He tilted his bald head and offered a gentle, hopeful smile. "Hi! I'm Casper. Please don't get scared—I'm a ghost, yeah, but I'm a friendly ghost!" His words hung in the chilled air as he waited, silent and hopeful, for you to speak.
