The story has been updated to make it easier to read and hopefully that I managed to get things right in here. I couldn't find a way to re-edit the other story since I'm doing it on my phone.
This story is clearly based off of the dream ghost from Ghostbusters. I feel like there's not enough stories that involve the Fort Detmerring ghost. So I decided to make one up and hopefully I will be able to do a great job. Enjoy it~!

"Tell me why I have to spend the night at the fortress? Are there any other places?" Max honestly felt so stupid for losing a bet from his two only friends and now he has to pay the price.
"You lost that bet. You have to spend the night there and see if you're not a pussy." Joey is not going to let Max out of this situation because he did that too many times already and now this is the last straw and he's not going to bail Max out of it.
"Max. Why are you so scared of that place?" Amanda is another one of his friends and did try to get him out of the bet but unfortunately Max did not listen to her.
"Did you forget there's a bunch of ghosts around New York City and Ghostbusters are trying to get rid of them? I heard this place has a ghost but every time somebody walks in, they walk out with a surprised expression and don't talk about what happened there." Max is not going to go in there but he knows that there's no point in trying to bail out or make up an excuse.
"Maxi boy. You can't get out of the situation this time. Just stay here for the night and everything will be fine. Besides, you can call Ghostbusters on a phone from this place. It's still got electricity." Joey is trying to calm Max down a little bit and making sure that they all walk together towards the building where they can easily tell Max that everything's okay and he'll just sleep in the bedroom.
Max is taking deep breaths and soon he decides. Time to nut up or shut up. "Fine. But you are going to buy me lunch tomorrow."
Amanda didn't mind at all and Joey shrugged it off and decided to buy his friend lunch if he stays there for the night.
All three of them walked towards the entrance of the place and luckily, no park ranger was nearby for them to stop them. Joey starts lockpicking the door and once they hear the click sound, the door is unlocked and Max was still nervous to enter but there's no other option.
"Good luck. You better sneak out the building and go back to your home. Otherwise everyone thinks you're going to be a serious little bitch for that." Joey laughed a little bit and Amanda looked at him with a serious face to show that she'll hit him in the face if he does another joke like that again.
"I won't." Max entered the building with his bag full of snacks and the door closed behind him.
Max was now all alone.
He looked at his watch and saw that it's only 8:00 and decided to explore the place. The place definitely looks brand new but he knows that everything has been here for years. He walked past the fireplace with a giant picture on top of it and he looked. It was a young beautiful woman with a soft smile that could make any men's day just by looking at her beauty. He looked below the picture to see a name. 'Samantha Fallen'. The name itself sounded so beautiful and he honestly wished he could meet the woman. But unfortunately, he looked back at the date and said that she died 150 years ago.
"I feel bad for you. Hope you're living peacefully." Max just realized what he said any kind of felt stupid for saying it. He continued walking down the hall but did not realize that the picture's eyes began to move and that was the ghostly presence.
The fortress definitely looks amazing and could possibly look like that a president could possibly live in it. There's a lot of history in the building and he definitely knows that if he touches something, he's going to ruin it. Max decided that he had enough exploring and was now looking for the bedroom. He walked towards one of the doors and slowly opened it to reveal a beautiful bedroom that has a queen size bed. "Finally. Took me 10 minutes to find this room." Max set his bag of snacks aside and he was now looking around the room.
The room is definitely for somebody that is high class because everything in the room is definitely not made cheap. Max saw a wooden closet and he opened up to see a bunch of outfits including a French General outfit. Max should have just left that alone but he decided to mess around a bit and put it on. "Mmm... fit's perfectly." Max also saw a nearby sword and picked it up to walk in front of a full body mirror and did a couple of heroic poses. "I will die to save my love one's." Max let out laughter, thinking that it was so childish of him acting like a general.
Max put down the sword where he found it and he was still wearing the general outfit and he lay down on a queen size bed that is actually so comfortable. "Wow. Whoever the man was, he clearly got what he wanted." Max then noticed a book on the shelf and he picked it up and opened it. He begins reading French in the book. He placed the book back on the counter and said to himself. "What's the point of reading it if I don't understand French..."
