# **Ghostly Love**
---
**INT. HAUNTED HOUSE - NIGHT**
*The GHOST drifts silently through the empty, decaying halls of a once-beautiful house. He lingers near an unfinished painting, a half-faded image of a woman—his lost love. His existence is empty, cold, and timeless, but something in the air has changed. He gazes at the front door, sensing a presence outside.*
---
**EXT. STREET - NIGHT**
*A young woman, HER, walks home from her art tuition. She passes the old, haunted house, feeling a strange pull toward it. As she glances up, her eyes meet something invisible in the shadows. She smiles softly, a brief but knowing acknowledgment. The GHOST watches from afar, intrigued and confused. How could she possibly see him?*
---
**INT. HER HOUSE - NIGHT**
*HER parents sit at the kitchen table, speaking in hushed tones about HER odd behavior.*
**MOTHER**
She's been acting so strange lately, talking to herself... It's like she's living in another world.
**FATHER**
Maybe it's just stress from school. Let's not push her too hard.
*HER walks into the room, catching their concerned looks. She pauses for a moment, a distant sadness in her eyes, before retreating to her room.*
---
**INT. HER ROOM - NIGHT**
*HER sits at her desk, drawing in her sketchbook. Her hand moves almost automatically, creating an image of a man's face—a face she feels but cannot fully remember. She sighs, looking up as if expecting to see someone there.*
**HER**
(Softly)
*I don't know why, but I feel like you're always near me.*
---
**INT. HAUNTED HOUSE - NIGHT**
*HER returns to the haunted house, drawn by an unexplainable force. She stands in the center of the room, looking around as if waiting for someone to appear. The GHOST, still invisible, watches her closely, feeling a connection.*
**HER**
(Talking to the empty air)
*I don't know why I can see you, or why I feel like I'm not alone when I'm here. But… it's like you understand me more than anyone else.*
*The GHOST materializes for the first time, his form faint but visible to her. HER gasps softly but doesn't seem afraid. Instead, she smiles, almost relieved.*
**GHOST**
(Quietly)
*I don't understand it either, but I've never felt this way before.*
*Their bond begins to grow as they spend more time together. The GHOST finds solace in HER presence, while HER finds comfort in being understood in a way she never has before.*
---
**MONTAGE:**
- *HER and the GHOST laugh together, sharing stories about their lives.*
- *They walk through the town at night, invisible to the world, enjoying each other's company.*
- *HER paints a picture of the GHOST, capturing his essence as best she can.*
---
**INT. HER HOUSE - NIGHT**
*HER parents' concern deepens as HER begins spending more time alone, talking to the GHOST. They decide to call in HER cousin, who has dabbled in the supernatural.*
**MOTHER**
We don't know what else to do. She's pulling away from us.
**FATHER**
Her cousin might be able to help. He's dealt with strange things before.
---
**EXT. HER HOUSE - DAY**
*HER COUSIN, a low-level tantrik, arrives with a skeptical expression. He doesn't believe in ghosts but agrees to investigate to put the family's worries at ease.*
**COUSIN**
(Laughing)
*You really think she's in love with a ghost? Ghosts aren't real.*
**MOTHER**
*Please, just take a look. You'll see for yourself.*
---
**INT. HAUNTED HOUSE - NIGHT**
*The COUSIN sets up a ritual in the haunted house, surrounded by candles and herbs. HER watches nervously, her heart torn between her love for the GHOST and the fear of what the ritual might reveal.*
**COUSIN**
(Skeptical)
*Let's see what we're dealing with here.*
*He chants a few incantations, waving a talisman in the air. Suddenly, the room grows cold. A wind sweeps through, and the GHOST manifests fully, standing in the center of the room. The COUSIN stumbles back, his face going pale.*
**COUSIN**
(Shocked)
*I… I didn't think it was real.*
*The COUSIN looks at HER, realizing the depth of her connection with the GHOST. He decides to help her, though he remains wary of meddling with the supernatural.*
---
**INT. HER HOUSE - NIGHT**
*HER parents, already worried, walk in on HER talking to what seems to be thin air. They are horrified when the COUSIN explains that HER is indeed in love with a ghost.*
**PARENTS**
*This can't be happening. You can't love something that isn't alive!*
**HER**
(Defiant)
*He's more real to me than anyone else. He understands me in a way no one else does.*
*The COUSIN convinces HER parents to accept her love, seeing that she is genuinely happy. But just as they begin to come to terms with the situation, something dark stirs in the air.*
---
**INT. HAUNTED HOUSE - NIGHT**
*HER and the GHOST share a quiet moment in the haunted house, but suddenly, the air grows heavy. The candles flicker wildly, and a menacing figure materializes—a MALEVOLENT SPIRIT that has come to claim the GHOST.*
**MALEVOLENT SPIRIT**
*You don't belong in this world anymore. It's time to move on, or I will force you.*
*The GHOST stands protectively in front of HER as the SPIRIT advances, its dark energy filling the room.*
**GHOST**
*Leave her out of this!*
*The SPIRIT lashes out with a burst of energy, knocking the GHOST to the ground. HER screams, running to his side.*
**HER**
*Cousin, help!*
*The COUSIN rushes in, his eyes wide with fear, but determined. He starts chanting a protective incantation, trying to hold the SPIRIT back, but the SPIRIT is too strong.*
**COUSIN**
(To HER)
*You have to believe in him. Your love is the only thing keeping him here. Hold on to him!*
*HER grips the GHOST's hand as he starts to flicker, his form fading as the SPIRIT tries to drag him into the afterlife.*
**HER**
*Don't leave me! I need you!*
*The GHOST looks at HER, torn between his desire to stay with her and the pull of the afterlife. His body flickers, but HER's grip strengthens, and her love becomes a powerful force, pushing the SPIRIT back.*
**HER**
(Tears streaming down her face)
*I love you. Please don't leave.*
*In a final surge of love and desperation, HER leans forward and kisses the GHOST. The kiss sends a shockwave of energy through the room, and the MALEVOLENT SPIRIT screeches as it dissolves into nothingness.*
---
**INT. HAUNTED HOUSE - SUNSET**
*The house, once cold and dark, is now warm with light. HER and the GHOST sit together, watching the sunset. Though their love defies the natural laws of life and death, they are content in the moment.*
**GHOST**
(Softly)
*No matter what happens, I'll always be with you.*
**HER**
*And I'll always be with you.*
*They embrace, their connection deeper and more powerful than ever, knowing they've overcome the impossible together.*
---
**FADE OUT.**

**THE END**
