The Ghost Story
Guests at Punderson Manor frequently report strange and unexplained occurrences throughout the historic lodge. Doors open and close by themselves, faucets turn on and off without human intervention, and creepy disembodied laughter echoes through empty hallways. Some guests have reported seeing shadowy figures passing through walls or standing at the foot of their beds at night. The identity of the spirits haunting the manor remains unknown, though speculation centers on former residents or guests who may have died on the property. Staff members have grown accustomed to the paranormal activity, considering the ghosts harmless if somewhat mischievous permanent residents.
