Bedtime Kids Fantasy

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard that! We're moving out tomorrow!"

On a stormy night, in a seemingly old but very luxurious old castle in a distant suburb of England, a bunch of couples hid under the covers and exchanged words in trembling voices.

The couple had bought the castle not long ago at a very cheap price, and at first they thought they had picked up a great bargain.

However, a series of strange things happened one after another.

On the day they moved into the castle, two of their children, claimed to have seen a headless knight on a skinny horse, take his head off and salute them by taking off his head. Later that night, the children ran crying to the couple's room, telling crying that there were three strange women in his room drinking tea and dancing and making noise and kissing them.

Despite what the two children said, the couple did not notice anything strange, but just dismissed it as the children's childish imagination.

And after that, it got worse and worse.

The two children began to have inexplicable fevers and became weaker and weaker, and even when they were taken to the hospital for treatment, they would soon fall ill again when they returned home.

Near the hospital, a gypsy witch with a stall selling trinkets saw the family and stopped them, claiming that the two children were having their life force and souls sucked out by an evil spirit, and that if it went on long enough, they might die.

After that, the witch sold them her wares, wind chimes made of bones and ores, decorated with painted feathers.

I'll give you a 50% discount for two wind chimes for 1,000 dollars, for pity's sake!

The witch was obviously blackmailing them, but the couple had no choice but to buy them and hang them in the children's room.

The witch proved to be a crooked businesswoman, but her merchandise did work, because the two children's complexion became more and more rosy day by day, and they seemed to be free from the evil spirits.

The evil spirits, however, seemed unhappy about this.

Soon, the children's parents also began to encounter some strange and inexplicable creepy situations.

One night, when the mother opens the door to her room, she finds her clothes strewn all over the floor - in fact, three pale female forms are floating around and are taking her clothes and trying them on.

When she screamed, the ghosts realized she was there, threw down her clothes, and told her that even though the souls of grown-ups weren't as tasty as those of children, they wouldn't mind having a taste.

She quickly told her husband, who was half-convinced, and the couple decided to sleep in a different room for the night.

That night, the mother's sleep was light, and in her half-sleep, she seemed to see, three women, dressed in gold, white, and colored Victorian-style dresses, kissing her husband.

She awoke with a start, and in reality nothing seemed to have happened - but his husband's face also began to turn pale, and she quickly shook him awake. After that, they seemed to hear, in the darkness, the sinister laughter of the three ghosts, and there came the opening scene.

At first light the next day, the couple quickly packed their bags and left the castle with their children.

As they left, the Headless Knight saluted them as well - and this time the couple saw it too.

That day, they got a ticket for speeding.

After that, a young man from Romania asked them to buy the castle, and the couple desperately tried to stop him. The young man didn't seem to be afraid of any of these gods and goddesses. Seeing his absolute confidence, the couple finally agreed to the deal and gave him the keys to the castle.

The trade list was signed Van Helsing Jr.

Like his ancestors, Van Helsing Jr. often dealt with supernatural creatures. He had a lot of experience in dealing with such incidents, so he was confident that he could buy the castle and live in it safely.

One night, he painted many bloodstains on his body with red paint, pretending to be a corpse.

He walked towards the castle and instead of going straight in, he waited at the door for the Headless Knight to appear.

"Who are you? It doesn't look like a living person."

The Headless Knight asked.

"A ghost who just recently died and wants to move into this house."The young man replied.

"Counting me, there are already four ghosts here," the Headless Knight replied "And I'm afraid there aren't enough souls to go around to eat since the family that recently moved in escaped."

"That's not necessarily true," the young man said "I heard they've sold the house and another human will be moving in soon."

"Really?"The Headless knight said skeptically.

"That's why I would want to move in," the young man replied "You said there were four ghosts here, I heard it was three female ghosts besides you, right? What's the name of the one in the yellow dress?"

"Her name is Goldie and she lives in the innermost store room on the third floor."

"And the one in the white dress?"

"Silveria, lives in the water room on the first floor."

"What about the colored dress?"

"Jewel, lives in the attic."

"And where is your room?"

"In the ballroom."

The young man got the desired reply and told the Headless Knight he would move in later.

Early the next morning, the young man found three treasure chests in the three rooms pointed out by the broken knight. They were stuffed with gold, silver and jewelry. He quickly transported the so-called "three women" and exchanged them for money.

After that, he found a chair with a broken backrest in the banquet hall.

"Ha, looks like this is Mr. Knight, right?"

He chopped the chair into pieces with an axe and threw it into the fireplace.

After that, young Mr. Van Helsing Jr. used the money he found in exchange for the treasure chest to live a rich life in the castle.
