Long ago, Paxton House welcomed a curious guest — an alchemist who loved to experiment with strange mixtures. He filled shelves with glowing bottles, each containing a different potion: some for courage, some for invisibility, some so powerful they had to be hidden away.

One stormy night, the alchemist vanished without a trace, leaving only his bottles behind. But beware! If the wrong potions are mixed, strange things happen — doors slam, windows rattle, and whispers echo through the halls.

It’s said the alchemist’s ghost still searches for the missing bottles, desperate to finish his final brew. Tonight, you may see them sparkle in the candlelight… but will you be brave enough to discover what’s inside?
