The Haunting of Dormitory 321

The air was thick with anticipation as the students of CBA University stepped into Dormitory 321. It was a quiet Friday evening, and the dormitory was to be their new home for the semester. The walls were a faded yellow, and the windows were fogged with age, but it was the stories that gave the place its eerie reputation that had the students on edge.

Lily, a freshman, was the first to arrive. She had heard whispers of the dormitory's past, of a tragic incident that had occurred decades ago. The legend spoke of a young woman who had met a terrible fate in these very halls. Lily shivered at the thought, but she was determined to prove that the dormitory was nothing more than an old building with a few quirks.

As she unpacked her belongings, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. She turned to find her roommate, Alex, who had arrived just minutes after her. "Do you feel that?" Lily asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Alex nodded, her eyes wide with fear. "Yeah, it's like someone's standing right behind me."

The next day, the rest of the students moved in, each with their own stories of the dormitory's haunting. There were tales of cold drafts, unexplained noises, and even ghostly apparitions. The dormitory was a melting pot of skepticism and fear, and the students found themselves divided.

Among them was Max, a local boy who claimed to have grown up with the family that once owned the dormitory. According to Max, the tragedy that had befallen the young woman was no mere accident. It was a curse, a lingering presence that would not be easily banished.

The first major incident occurred on the second night. It was around midnight when a loud crash echoed through the dormitory. The students, already on edge, raced to the source of the noise. They found the door to room 321 ajar, and the room was in disarray. There were broken pictures, scattered books, and a sense of overwhelming dread.

The next morning, the students discussed what had happened. Some suggested that the noise had been caused by a prank, but the fear in the dormitory was palpable. The rumors of the curse began to spread, and the students started to take precautions.

They began to see shadows out of the corner of their eyes, hear whispers in the night, and feel the cold breath of a ghost. The dormitory became a place of fear, a place where the supernatural seemed to be as real as the walls themselves.

One evening, as the students gathered in the common room, Max shared a piece of information that changed everything. "The woman who died here," he began, "was pregnant at the time of her death. The legend says that her baby, if it had been born, would have inherited the curse."

The students exchanged nervous glances. The idea of a child inheriting the curse was terrifying, and it made the situation seem even more desperate. They needed a solution, and they needed it fast.

That night, Lily had a dream. She saw the young woman, her eyes filled with pain and sorrow. The woman reached out to Lily, and whispered, "Help me. I need you to find my child."

Lily woke up in a panic, but the dream lingered in her mind. She knew that she had to do something. She called a meeting with the students, and together, they devised a plan. They would search the dormitory for any signs of the child, and they would protect it from the curse.

The search was grueling, but they found nothing. Desperate, Lily turned to Max for help. He led them to the old family home, where he believed the child might still be. They found a hidden room behind a false wall, and inside was a baby's crib.

The baby was alive, but it was not the child of the woman who had died. Instead, it was a boy who had been abandoned years ago. The students took the baby to the hospital, where they learned that he had been born with a rare genetic condition that made him vulnerable to supernatural forces.

The students decided to adopt the boy, and they named him Ethan. They moved him to a new home, away from the dormitory, and began a new chapter in their lives. The dormitory remained abandoned, a testament to the supernatural and the power of friendship.

As the years passed, the students of Dormitory 321 became known for their bravery and their love for Ethan. They often returned to the old dormitory, not as a place of fear, but as a place of remembrance. The legend of the haunting had faded, but the story of the students who had faced the supernatural and emerged victorious lived on.
