Shadows of the Past

In the quiet village of Elnor, a legend about a mysterious cottage located on the edge of the forest had been passed down from generation to generation. The locals spoke of an unusual light that would occasionally shine from the house at night, of eerie rustling leaves emanating from the woods, and of a deep sense of discomfort that would settle upon anyone daring enough to approach.

On a dark autumn day, a young journalist named Mark decided to investigate this enigmatic tale. He grabbed his equipment and bravely set out for the cottage. Daylight slowly faded as Mark crossed the road and ventured into the dense forest. The wind whispered through the leaves, and the branches of the trees cast eerie silhouettes on the horizon.

After walking for a while, he noticed a faint light flickering through the trees. His heart raced as he approached the cottage. The wooden door creaked as he pushed it open and stepped inside. Within the cottage, he found everything in disarray, covered in dust and cobwebs. He explored for a while but found nothing to explain the mysterious light.

Several hours later, as night fell, Mark decided to make his way back. But just as he was about to leave, he noticed a flash of light coming from a distant corner of the room. His heart skipped a beat as he turned toward the source of the light. Before him, a shadow appeared on the wall—but not just any shadow. It was the shadow of a woman, and her form looked real, as if she were there.

“I jumped from the cliff… I had no choice,” Mark heard a quiet, sorrowful voice. The shadow slowly took shape into a full figure. Mark was breathless as he realized he was witnessing a woman in an old-fashioned dress, her eyes filled with sorrow.


“Who are you?” Mark managed to utter, his heart racing.

“I am Elena. I used to live in this house. My past is tied to this land. I cannot find peace,” the shadow replied, her words echoing in the silence.


Elena began to tell her story to Mark. She spoke of forbidden love, betrayal, and the despair that led her to take her own life. Her words struck Mark deeply, and he felt her pain.

To help Elena find peace, Mark decided to investigate her case. Over time, he uncovered clues that confirmed her story. He found old records, journals, and witnesses to events that had taken place many years ago. Gradually, he unraveled the truth about her tragic life and death.

Mark discovered the truth that Elena died due to forbidden love, betrayal, and despair. Her story revealed that she was involved in a deep emotional connection that was doomed due to societal or circumstantial factors. Her feelings of betrayal and despair led her to the point of deciding to take her own life. This sadness and tragic events from her past were the cause of her shadow appearing in the house, marking her spirit and leaving her to wander between worlds.

Through his investigation, Mark found evidence that corroborated Elena’s story, including old records, journals, and testimonies from people who knew about her life circumstances. In this way, he managed to uncover the deep sorrow and pain that lay behind her death, and also helped her soul find peace after years of wandering.

After Mark gathered all the information, he returned home. On the night when he had nearly given up on the investigation, Elena’s shadow appeared to him once again. “Thank you for helping me discover the truth,” she said now with an encouraging smile. Her shadow slowly faded, leaving a sense of gentleness in the air.

The village of Elnor was never the same after Mark’s story. The locals began to realize that the mysterious cottage was not a place of evil but rather a place of sorrow and an unilluminated past. Mark’s investigations not only brought peace to Elena but also taught people that some stories transcend the boundaries of reality, leaving us with the question of whether souls can truly be liberated from the burdens of the past.
