Nightly Lullaby

Craft a story where an old, abandoned house is said to be haunted, not by screams or moans, but by a ghost child’s innocent lullaby heard every night.

This flips the common convention of haunted houses being places of fear and terror, instead introducing a haunting dictated by innocence and longing. Are the lullabies a comfort or a curse? Is the ghost trying to communicate, or merely recreating a comforting memory from its past life? Interesting themes to explore might include the allure of the unknown, the purity of a child’s spirit, and the echo of forgotten melodies.
