The Mysterious Events

The Perilous Palace has been the site of many strange and unexplained events over the years. The current owner, Lord Archibald Ashford, has reported a number of strange occurrences, including disembodied voices, flickering lights, and objects moving on their own.

They begin their investigation by questioning the staff and searching the palace for any evidence of paranormal activity. However, they soon realize that there is more to this case than meets the eye.
