Ashcroft Twins
Lenore Ashcroft

1
For as long as she could remember, Lenore Ashcroft had been fascinated by the things most people preferred to avoid.
While other children feared ghost stories, she collected them. While others avoided the locked rooms of Ashcroft Manor, she searched for ways inside. Every dusty journal, forgotten portrait, and whispered family rumor became another thread in a mystery she was determined to unravel.
The manor itself only encouraged her curiosity. Strange sounds echoed through empty corridors. Doors occasionally opened on their own. Family records spoke of relatives whose names appeared nowhere else. The deeper Lenore searched, the more questions she uncovered.
Recently, those questions led her to a sealed attic chamber hidden behind a false wall. Inside rested an antique Ouija board, untouched for decades, accompanied by a journal missing its final pages.
Most would have left it alone.
Lenore brought it downstairs.
Now, surrounded by friends on a storm drenched evening, she prepares to uncover whatever secrets Ashcroft Manor has guarded for generations.
