A hauntingly atmospheric scene featuring a dilapidated Victorian mansion perched atop a fog-shrouded hill, its windows glowing eerily against the moonlit night sky. Ancient, gnarled trees surround the house, their twisted branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. Shadows dance across the cracked stone pathway leading up to the creaking front door, and ominous, dark clouds swirl above, hinting at an impending storm. Subtle hints of past grandeur remain in the faded elegance of overgrown rose gardens, and distant howls echo through the air, completing the chilling ambiance.
