Once upon a time, in a small town surrounded by mist, there was a very strange house. Everyone in town talked about how it looked like it held secrets. One sunny morning, Ethan, a brave boy with bright eyes, moved into the old house. He was excited for a new adventure and wasn't scared at all!

The house was big and old, with creaky floors and wind that sang through the cracks. Ethan felt like the house was trying to tell him stories. At night, Ethan tucked himself into bed in his new room, surrounded by boxes still packed. The moon smiled through his window, and Ethan fell asleep quickly.

But something strange happened! As Ethan slept, he felt like he was awake. He saw funny shadows dancing on the walls, and he heard whispers coming from the closets. But he couldn't move! It was like a game where he was a statue at night, and his bed was his base.

In the morning, Ethan thought it was all a dream. So he decided to play detective and look for clues. He found an old key in a dusty drawer, a picture of a happy family that once lived there, and a diary hidden under a floorboard with a story about the 'Whispering Walls' of the house.

That night, Ethan was ready. He built a fort of pillows and told the shadows he wasn't afraid. He waited until the whispers started, and then shouted, 'I want to play, too!' To his surprise, the shadows danced closer, and the whispers turned to giggles. The house was inviting Ethan to solve its puzzles.

Every night became a new game. Ethan used the old key to open secret compartments, found hidden messages in the diary, and followed the laughing shadows which showed him places in the house where the family from the picture lived their happiest moments. Soon, Ethan realized the house wasn't scary, it was full of stories and laughter!

Finally, one magical night, when Ethan solved all the house's riddles, the whispers and shadows changed into a soft glow. The house showed Ethan a hidden room where the family's happiest memory was kept. There were toys and drawings, and even a note thanking Ethan for playing the 'Whispering Walls' game. Ethan smiled, knowing his new home was full of love.
