to call someone for help, but there was no signal. Yara’s phone was the same.The two of them did not dare to answer that call, so they switched off their devices.However, after they turned off their phones, the television inside the house, which was facing an electricity outage, suddenly lit up.Initially, white snowflake patterns filled the screen. Then, the white patterns gradually come together to form black and white images.Although the picture was slightly blurry, it was not difficult to recognize the figures on the screen.The television was showing scenes from twenty years ago of Hamish and Lorelei together and when they were playing with their newborn daughter. The heartwarming scene appeared unusually bizarre and frightening at that moment.Those soul-stirring images gradually faded out and were replaced by fights and arguments between Hamish and his wife.Soon, another woman emerged. She hugged Hamish intimately in front of Lorelei, and they even bullied Lorelei together.Hamish’s body was covered in a cold sweat when he saw those pictures. Yara was terrified to the extent of losing bladder control as her sleeping gown was now soaked in her own urine.The final image depicted Lorelei with her limbs tied to the bed of a psychiatric hospital with blood covering her abdomen. In the end, she died inside an isolated and quiet room.Just when Hamish thought that spine-chilling montage was about to finish, Lorelei, on the television screen, suddenly sat up on the bed.Then, she walked toward the camera slowly and stiffly.Her head was lowered, and her face was hidden behind her disheveled hair. As she moved closer to the lens, the image of Lorelei’s head grew larger on the screen.All of a sudden, she looked up, revealing her ashen face and blank, white eyes.Lorelei gradually stretched out her hand as if she was going to climb out of the television in the next second.Due to the sheer horror of that scene, Hamish’s legs turned to jelly, and he slumped onto the floor.He was scared out of his wits, fearing his wife, who died because of him, would climb out of the television.With shaking hands, he took the lamp on the bedside table and used it to smash the television screen.The lamp collided with the television with a loud clang, and the screen shattered. Only then did the frightening black and white image disappear.Yara squealed until Nancy opened the door from the outside. After that, another housekeeper turned on the main switch of the house to restore the electricity inside the mansion, and the whole place became illuminated again.Still, Hamish and Yara’s room remained dark.Yara gibbered, “Let’s go. Let’s leave. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”She wailed about wanting to pack her belongings and leave that place. Hamish was not doing any better than her. After suffering from that unnerving experience and considering his disdain toward Yara’s unstable state of mind, Hamish departed from the mansion in his car alone in the middle of the night.Under normal circumstances, nighttime should be the most tranquil hour
