Legend has it that on certain nights, when the clock strikes midnight, she will appear.
It has been said her pale skin glows in the moonlight.
That her eyes shimmer with sadness.
The air is tinged with an eerie chill and your stomach is a knot of anticipation.
You feel unsure why you are here, if you even believe in stories anymore.
A ghost waits at the top of the curved marble staircase.
You realise this is what you have been hoping for.
