When Lisa and Jim returned from vacation, everything seemed normal until Lisa discovered mysterious containers filled with a strange, aromatic mixture hidden around their home. A peculiar smell led Lisa to find eight containers scattered in unusual places, causing unease.

When Jim saw the containers, he paled. Just then, Jim’s parents arrived. His mother, Mary, explained that their family had been haunted by dark spirits for generations, and the containers contained a protective mixture of herbs and oils to ward off these spirits.

Jim, angry and concerned for Lisa’s severe allergies, insisted they remove the containers immediately. Mary, remorseful, agreed, explaining they never intended harm and believed they were helping. Jim’s father also promised to find a safer method to protect the family from the spirits.

Lisa, relieved but wary, watched as Jim’s parents removed the containers. Jim apologized, assuring her they would ensure the house was safe. Despite the reassurance, Lisa couldn’t shake the nagging thought that the ordeal might not truly be over.
