Drawn inside by eerie torches, he discovers an old Latin inscription and an unsettling trapdoor beneath the altar. As he descends into the dark basement, he witnesses a masked figure burning his friends alive. Fleeing in terror, he calls the police—only to find that the basement no longer exists. Haunted by guilt and nightmares of the plague doctor’s mask, he warns others: never enter that church.  horrorstories, reddithorrorstories, scarystories, horrorstory, creepypasta, horrortales, mystery, hauntedplaces, cursedchurch, missingpersons, thriller, darkfiction, occult, forbiddenplaces, terrifyingencounter, unexplained, supernaturalhorror, fear, horrorcommunity, chillingevents
