Ghost Carpet

In an old house hidden in the heart of the forest, there is an old carpet known as "The Ghost Carpet" by nearby villagers. Horrible stories surround this carpet, and people avoid it at all costs. But, no one knew why the carpet was so scary, or why no one dared to open it.

The house always looked empty, but every night, a faint light would light up from behind the window. Strange sounds and screams were heard coming out from there, making people feel disturbed. The villagers believed that the carpet was the source of all this strangeness, but no one ever dared to approach it.

A villager named Sarah felt drawn to the mystery of the carpet. He was a soul explorer who was always looking for adventure. One day, with a strong determination, he decides to solve the puzzle of "The Ghost Carpet." He felt that this way, he could prove that all the stories were mere myths.

That night, as the full moon shone brightly, Sarah entered the old house. He brought a flashlight, a folding knife, and a camera to document everything that happened. As soon as he entered the house, he felt a strange and frightening presence. Strange sounds echoed around him, and a chill crept on his skin.

Sarah stepped cautiously towards the carpet. The carpet looked shabby and seedy, and as if it had never been cleaned for centuries. He took out his folding knife and tremblingly, began to slowly cut the end of the carpet. However, when his finger touched the carpet fibers, he felt a sharp jolt of electricity and screamed in pain.

However, he did not back down. With a stronger determination, he continued to cut the carpet. When the tip finally opened, he felt as if he had entered another dimension. A wave of heat and light filled the room, and he saw something truly unimaginable.

Under the carpet, a large hole was opened that extended into the ground. Sarah felt as if she was looking at a hidden underground world. The walls of the pit were filled with strange images and ancient writings that he could not read. But the most surprising thing was what was at the bottom of the hole.

There, he saw something that seemed to be a gate to hell. Thousands of red eyes lit up in the darkness, and strange sounds that echoed like the screams of an imprisoned soul filled his ears. Sarah felt a fear she had never felt before, but she felt like she had to continue exploring this mystery.

Carefully, he descended into the hole, following a ladder made of bone and glittering stones. Every step he took was a step into deeper uncertainty. Every now and then, he saw a strange shadow being driven into the darkness, but he did not dare to approach.

The moment he reached the bottom of the hole, he saw something so terrifying that he almost fainted. In the middle of the darkened room, there was a tomb surrounded by burning candles. On top of the tomb lies a strange object that he knows as the "Forbidden Book."

Trembling, Sarah took the book and read it. It was filled with incantations and unreadable ancient writings. He felt that the book was the key to all these mysteries. However, when he tried to retrieve the book, he felt his hands were tied and he was unable to break free.

The strange sounds grew louder, and he saw dark shadows approaching him. Sarah felt an uncontrollable fear, but she continued to struggle to break free. With a strong determination, he finally managed to free his hands from the invisible shackles.

As he tried to escape, the tomb suddenly opened, and a figure of a terrifying creature emerged from it. The creature had a deformed face and a threatening body. He grabs Sarah with inhuman strength and tries to pull her into the tomb.

However, Sarah persevered with all the energy she had. He shouted and punched the creature with the Forbidden book. The creature roared in pain and released its grip. Sarah escaped from the room, ignoring all the dangers that lay around her.

However, the book carried a terrible curse. Every night, he is plagued by unimaginable nightmares. He saw the monstrous creatures and heard strange noises that continued to haunt his mind. He felt that he had opened the door to hell, and he felt trapped in endless horrors.

Sarah tried to distance herself from the Forbidden book, but the longer it took, the more it affected her mind. He began to recite the spells in the book, hoping to understand its meaning. However, every spell he read only made the situation even worse.

When he went to the village, people began to realize that something was very wrong with him. His eyes turned red, and he began to speak in a strange language that no one could understand. The villagers began to avoid him, fearing the curse he might carry.

Soon, the mystery of the carpet began to affect the entire village. Strange noises that were once only heard in the old house now haunt the entire region. People reported seeing strange shadows at night and hearing terrible screams in the forest.

The village fell into a state of chaos, and people were looking for a way to end this curse. They visit the old house and try to open the mysterious carpet, but their efforts are in vain. The carpet remained tightly sealed, as if protecting the dark secret that lay beneath it.

Sarah, who is increasingly trapped in the Forbidden book, is eventually found by the villagers. They try to save her, but Sarah has gone too far trapped in the darkness. He doesn't recognize anyone, not even his own family.

In a last-ditch effort to end the curse, the village elders held an ancient ritual around the carpet. They recited the spells they had learned from their ancestors, and tried to open the carpet once more. However, when the carpet was exposed, unimaginable terror was unleashed.

The monstrous creatures bound within began to rampage, and the ghosts confined for centuries burst forth. They chased the villagers, took their lives one by one, and dropped even greater curses.

The village was oppressed by the darkness, and no one survived. The people who could still escape fled the village, leaving it to become a forgotten mass grave. The mysterious carpet remained covered, harboring a terrifying secret that was invincible.

Sarah, now a victim of the Forbidden book, still wanders the dark forests, carrying the curse with her. He has lost himself, and his desire to uncover a mysterious secret has destroyed him.

The story of "The Ghost Carpet" and the Forbidden book eventually became a myth known to the entire region. People learn not to try to unravel mysteries bigger than them, because they know that some secrets must remain buried in the dark.

And so is the horror story of a mysterious carpet that never opens, a story of human greed and its dire consequences.
