YOUR STORY BEGINS, THEIR FATE UNFOLDS

Mike is the main character, a journalist driven by a thirst for uncovering deep, hidden truths. He gains access to an apartment where, according to locals, restless souls are said to haunt the place. This is a fact that still needs to be confirmed, tied to a terrible incident. A family consisting of a father, mother, and daughter once lived in the apartment and were killed by someone whose identity remains unknown.

In 1990, a family bought a house in Russia from Robert. After hearing strange noises from the basement and a curse, they left and moved to New York, they rented apartment from Norman Harold.

Sarah often heard strange whispers and scratching sounds coming from below. Sometimes, it sounded like someone was calling her name. She tried to tell her parents, but they dismissed her fears, saying it was just the old place settling.
