“The dark oak staircase started to creak and groan as if in protest to an unseen weight bearing down on it. A sudden cold draught swept through the house and the door to the master bedroom started to bang to and fro…”
This is Haunted UK Fiction’s Flash Fiction Friday, original short-form stories of the supernatural, the monstrous, and the unknown.
In today’s episode, we present The Haunting of Manor Grove House, a terrifying tale where a seemingly straightforward renovation project becomes a desperate fight for survival when an ancient house reveals its darkest secret.
Written by Jules McBain, who has self-published three novels on Amazon over the last two years. Jules wrote this particular story two years ago as a challenge to write a ghost story within a set word limit of 1,700 words. She is currently in the process of writing two other novels: \"Out of the Darkness We are Reborn\", an apocalyptic novel about the end of the world through Judgement Day and \"All I am, All I Will Ever Be\" about a female midlife crisis.
