Within the world your OC's live in, what is the universally known horror story to them?

A lot of older Mobians remember a time when the Mystic Mansion was just a tourist attraction. It was a museum, where families would visit and learn about the history more morbid moments, alongside spooky sciences like levitation, optical illusion, and the natural decay of life.

Functioning as an asylum before then, it featured a morgue in a system of caves beneath the ward, so when people would begin seeing apparitions and witnessing strange incidents, rumors of real-life hauntings spread like wildfire.

Eventually people stopped going to the place, and the curator took a tumble deep into the mines where he wasn't found for years....

The place remains standing to this day, but is strangely untouched by time. Everything appears in its proper place, and not so much as a roof shingle has fallen off in all these years--despite no one being there to look after the place. Nowadays, its widely assumed to be haunted by the curator, who is completely benign, so long as you respect the museum and everything in it.
