Ghost Hunters and the Haunted House

Story
Sophia and Alan, only members of their Paranormal Club, read the news on the internet, that during night, there were some strange noises coming from an abandoned house few miles down the road. They grabbed some ghost hunting equipment and hopped into a car. After arrival they broke in through the back door and immediately started investigating.
Something wasn't right from the start. Old rocking chair was moving on its own, making blood chilling creaks. TV was on, despite place having no working electricity. White noise was all it aired. Alan tried to run, but Sophia stopped him and begged him to stay, she really wanted for her dream to come true, to finally see a ghost and take a picture of it. He unenthusiastically agreed to stay. They grabbed their tools and started their search. It didn't take long to notice some creepy family pictures on the walls, all of them, without exception, had one family member's face scribbled over.
After checking the first floor they moved upstairs. They had this strange unnerving feeling, that they are being watched. Place was dark, but Sophia managed to find a book, no, a dairy! Her EMP reader went crazy, it had to be the ghost's possession. When she touched it, large drawer hidden in darkness jumped with a thunder. This time it was Alan who was begging, begging Sophia to leave the diary alone, it clearly angers the ghost, but she was to close to her goal, she had to finish this. Despite Alan's plead she opened it...
-She saw it!- Drawer opened with a slam, ghost launched towards the trespassers. -NOO!- Total mayhem kicked off, everybody screamed and ran. Then Alan did what he does best, with his knowledge he gained from watching Animal Planet, he started to play dead like a possum. His plan worked perfectly, ghost just stopped for a while, took a wierd look at thim and began to chase Sophia. Ghost wasn't having an easy job catching her, she was so fast and her screams earsplitting to say at least. Sophia blasted through the front door, jumped into the car and drive off with tires screeching, in panic, leaving poor Alan behind.
Alan still laying one the floor, with one eye opened, watched how the ghost came back home, sat on the rocking chair and started to watch TV. It was so tired by the chase, It couldn't catch a breath. Well... now what? Alan's plan now seemed to have some certain downsides...

Inspiration
Idea is a mix of various ghost movie tropes and games. I always liked this genre, even low budget horros have some charm to them. Set is also an homage to one of the best Lego sets I never had :P Monster Fighters Hounted House 10228. I use same exterior colors and a little fence assembly to reference it.
