1. The Song at Midnight

In an ancient village stood an abandoned opera house. Whenever night fell and everything grew still, mournful, beautiful singing could be heard from inside. Some said it was the ghost of an opera singer who had died for love years ago, returning in the dead of night to search for the dreams she had left behind. But no one had the courage to investigate. They could only listen from afar as the song echoed through the night.

2. The Secret of the Ancient Well

The ancient well at the village entrance was said to conceal an age-old secret. Whenever anyone tried to peer down to its bottom, a chill would sweep over them, as if something below were watching. Some said an ancient well ghost lived there. It lured the overly curious close, dragged them to the bottom, and made them disappear forever.

An inn deep in the mountains and forests was usually empty after nightfall. But every now and then, a traveler would stumble upon it and find its lights shining brightly, as if someone were waiting for them.
