After pulling nearly forty Skeleton Mages out in a dozen or so groups using the same method, the haunted house was left completely empty. A rotten curtain, on the verge of falling apart, hung over the entrance to the inner rooms, faintly muffling the clear sound of a woman singing from within. Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate high-pitched vocals; instead, it just sounded like a ghost howling...

Prying the curtain aside with my longsword, I discovered that there was actually a staircase leading upstairs, with two milky-white, female-shaped Night Wraiths wandering about.
