When Darkness Comes Manhua

Title: Shadows of the Past In the small town of Willow Creek, the Sterling Manor lurked ominously at the edge of the woods, its blackened windows and crumbling facade a stark contrast to the vibrant town square. Ever since the mysterious disappearance of the Sterling family decades ago, the manor had stood abandoned, a dark reminder of a tragedy that had never been solved. Enter Sarah, a spirited young photographer with a penchant for unraveling mysteries. When she stumbles upon an old photograph hidden in the town's archives, depicting a young girl with hauntingly familiar eyes standing in front of the manor, Sarah's curiosity is piqued. Determined to uncover the truth behind the Sterling family's vanishing, she embarks on a journey that will test her courage and resolve. As Sarah delves deeper into the secrets of the manor, she begins to experience strange phenomena. Shadows dart across the hallways, whispers echo through the empty rooms, and the chilly touch of unseen hands sends shivers down her spine. But Sarah refuses to be deterred, her determination fueled by a sense of justice for the long-forgotten family. With the help of a reclusive historian who holds the key to unlocking the manor's dark past, Sarah unravels a tale of forbidden love, jealousy, and betrayal that led to a curse haunting the Sterling Manor. As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Sarah realizes that the only way to lift the curse is to confront the vengeful spirit trapped within the manor's walls. In a heart-stopping climax, Sarah comes face to face with the ghost of a young girl, her eyes filled with pain and longing. As she reaches out in forgiveness and understanding, Sarah feels a weight lift off her shoulders, and a sense of peace descends upon the manor. The shadows disperse, the whispers fade, and the Sterling Manor is bathed in a warm, golden light for the first time in years. And as Sarah walks away from the manor, she knows that she has not only freed the spirits of the past but also herself from the shackles of guilt and regret.
