Music Recommendation: Haunted Halloween Mansion Fireplace with Thunder, Rain and Howling Wind

.

It was midnight, and in the Reeds manor, the family members and the servants were fast asleep in their rooms. Deep in slumber, unknown of the entity that moved in the deserted corridors.

The candles that had been lit earlier had fizzled out, leaving smoke behind, and so did the fireplaces in most of the rooms in the manor. An eerie silence filled the place, even where the moonlight passed through the windows and fell on the walls and floor. 

Same as the others in the manor who were sound asleep, in the chamber that belonged to Senior Mr. and Mrs. Reed, the couple were fast asleep. The room's door slowly opened, and someone who was forgotten stepped into the room—slowly moving towards the bed while watching the older couple. It was the ghost that had been haunting them and seeking revenge.
