Haunted House Mystery

Imagine moving into a new house only to realize it is haunted. Create the backstory of the house and its spectral inhabitants.

This prompt allows you to create a rich tapestry of history revolving around a specific location and the ghosts who dwell there. The mystery lies in both the ghosts’ identities, their cause of death, and why they’re still lingering. What secrets does the house hold? What past tragedies happened there? What connections do these spirits have with the new residents? This encourages the exploration of historical timelines, architectural details, and interpersonal dynamics amongst the living and dead.
