IMPORTANT: Ending is revealed 9/07!
🎃👻 This spooky season, our very Halloweeny YNK presents you with spine-chilling tales, but with an unexpected ending - very much in You Never Know style! 🕸️🦇Every story holds a twist you won't see coming. The ending will be revealed later, but first grab your kid and come up with an unxpected ending together. Add your option in the comments.⬇️ The best ending proposal will be announced on the Halloween and will get a special GIFT! 🎁

Today, we take you to the haunted streets of Elmsworth and the eerie "Whispering House." 🏚️🔦

SPOOKY STORY 1:
"In the small town of Elmsworth, there was an old, abandoned house at the end of Maple Street. Locals called it "The Whispering House" because of the eerie whispers that could be heard from it on quiet nights. No one dared to enter, and children were warned to stay away.

One evening, a group of teenagers, feeling brave and looking for an adventure, decided to explore the house. They entered with flashlights, their laughter echoing through the empty halls. As they went deeper, the whispers grew louder and more distinct.

"Leave... leave... leave..." the voices seemed to chant.

The group, although frightened, still decided to find our where the whispers are coming from. They followed the sound to the basement, where they found an old gramophone playing a scratched record. The record was repeating the word "leave" over and over.

Relieved, they laughed it off and decided to turn off the gramophone. But as they approached, they noticed a note next to it. It read... "

Come up with the ideas of what was written on the note in the comments ⬇️ We will reveal our version on 09/7 - STAY TUNED! 🖤
