"W–what?" Iris asked. "It was really a ghost?"
Alyhana nodded, softly as Iris blinked. "You're serious? Like dead-people-serious?"
Alyhana only smiled sheepishly at her terrified expression, "Yes."
Xander gave her a sideways look. "You didn't see it, though. Can you see ghosts?"
"No," Alyhana said. "But when I walked into the manor, I felt it. A heavy feeling that wasn't mine. It was fear and confusion...and something else… like someone wanted us to leave but come in all at the same time."
Iris's eyes widened. "Wanted us to... leave?"
Alyhana looked around the hall slowly.
"Something is here."
Xander folded his arms. "You're saying ghosts actually exist in this world?"
'Why am I not surprised?' He thought as he released a tired sigh.
"They do," Alyhana said calmly. "When someone dies carrying strong emotions… anger, regret, sorrow… it doesn't always let go. And when it doesn't, a piece of them lingers on this world."
