The events took place inside and also at the back of the house, where there was a small private cemetery belonging to former residents.The property had been acquired for a very small amount even for the time, but it was not its precarious state of conservation that most influenced it. The buyer had been informed about some events related to the mansion that had once belonged to illustrious people, but were practically in ruins.Without revealing some secrets to the family, which would be discovered over time in the worst possible way, the bricklayer assistant had no choice but to close the deal.The couple's eldest daughter had mysteriously disappeared a long time ago and her room had been locked with two strong padlocks by her father. No one could enter that place or mention his name or ask what had happened that terrifying night.The middle daughter, who had argued with her father on the night of her sister's disappearance, has lived in a distant city since then and had never returned home, even though she missed her family very much.The youngest daughter, the only one who still lived in the mansion and was unable to move, was often plagued by many noises and some bizarre events.Their repeated nightmares came to coincide with a fantasy reality and, often, with facts related to the three brothers buried in the enigmatic cemetery at the back of the mansion, whose tombs were strangely lined and pointed to the attic.Visions of the remote past have shown a way in this tangle of sinister events, but perhaps it was already too late. There was no escape from fate, which seemed to be getting closer and closer to that humble family.
