MY FRIENDS WERE BUSY CHATTING AMONG THEMSELVES ABOUT THERE LIKES AND DISLIKES.I WAS INTERESTED ABOUT FOREST AS IT SEEMED THAT THEY ARE SYMBOLIZING SOMETHING . I AND MY FRIENDS REACHED HOTEL AND WENT TOWARDS ROOM.WE ALL WERE TRIED SO WE SLEPT ALL NIGHT.Mad Henry was a hermit who lived alone in a decrepit mansion at the edge of town. Rumors were rife about the wild-eyed man. Some folks said that he was a magician who called upon the powers of darkness to wreck havoc upon his neighbors. Others called him a mad doctor who could restore life to foul corpses from the local cemetery. No respectable citizen in town had anything to do with Mad Henry

Then one year a new family moved to town with a lovely daughter, Rachel, who caught Mad Henry’s eye. He showered the maiden with gifts—goblets of pure gold, necklaces of pearl, and a pot of daisies that never dropped a single petal. Despite the gifts, Rachael fell in love with another, Geoffrey, a handsome young man just home from university. A week after meeting they eloped, leaving behind a stunned Mad Henry.

When Rachael and Geoffrey returned from the elopement, they threw a big ball and invited everyone in town. While Rachel was waltzing with her father, she heard a clap of thunder. Lightning flashed again and again. Suddenly, the double doors blew open and a breeze whirled in, bringing with it the smell of dead, decaying things. Mad Henry loomed in the doorway, pupils gleaming red with anger. He was followed by the grotesque figures of the dead, who came marching two by two into the room. Their eye sockets glowed with blue fire as they surrounded the room.
Two of the corpses captured Geoffrey and threw him down at the feet of their lord. Red eyes gleaming, Mad Henry drew a silver-bladed knife

    The existence of ghosts can also have logical explanations or simple ignorance of unscientific techniques. In a similar though, the value assumption made by the author was that ghosts, according to many studies and logical research, do not exist on any circumstance. In contrast, the reality assumption, according to Benjamin Radford, ghosts as other unproven phenomenons do exists but searching in the right place with evidence to suggest so. The value and reality assumptions can be tested to be true or false with specific tests or procedures to see if ghosts really exists and not having scientific or logical explanation. Benjamin Radford conducted this analytical evidence to deny the existence of ghosts.…

    After half an hour, we arrived at the graveyard. The graveyard was deserted and had hundreds of graves spaced out all over the field. The faint wind moaned through the trees and the grass danced. There was a high-pitched howl every so often. I feared that it might have been the dead spirits that came to complain about being disturbed. But I knew that ghosts weren’t real until…

    Fairy Tales

    In the poem “Fat Is Not a Fairy Tale”, Jane Yolen takes a sarcastic and scornful stance against traditional fairy tales. She straightforwardly targets the perfect images of fairy tale characters. Yolen suggest that these depictions are unrealistic and that characters of all shapes and sizes can convey the underlined meaning of story plots and ultimately have a happy ending. Yolen tirelessly throughout this poem advocates for the full figured fairy tale character that has not been created. With that being said Yolen satirically expresses her feelings in “Fat Is Not a Fairy Tale” through three components of poetry: images, theme, and connotations.…

    Throughout human history there have been many literary genres to come and go. Some were entertained by the general public while others may have had a critical reception by a marginally smaller audience (or minority). Though what remains the same, across the board of all genres, there is the thirst for imagination as well as the fulfillment of human curiosity. Albeit relatively new, both fantasy and horror (also respectively different) are successful and popular as genres, for they are able to satisfy the basic human emotion of curiosity and are able to cater towards the human imagination. Sigmund Freud explains how children’s role-played imaginative worlds become suppressed adult fantasies and are therefore tended to go through various mediums; literary fantasy being among one of them. Horror has been able to capitalize on the human’s natural curiosity for the unknown, or death, by bringing its audience as close as possible to it. Although the horror and fantasy genres are different with respect to their content, they share many similarities as to why they (and many other genres) are so popular. Their deep psychological impact on human curiosity and imagination has been just as relevant to both sets of their audiences.…

    Does ghost exist in real life? It has been a popular question been ask for few decades. Some people encounter the supernatural phenomena, some not. So there are people who believe and people who disbelieves. Therefore, here are some introduction of what ghost really is, where we can find their existence, how can we feel their presence and does science proof the existence of ghost. In traditional belief and fiction, a ghost (sometimes known as a spectre (British English) or specter (American English), phantom, apparition or spook) is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear, in visible form or other manifestation, to the living. Descriptions of the apparition of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike visions. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism. The region that ghosts, demons, devils, and negative energies occupy or come from, varies depending on their spiritual power, capabilities and so on. Any being such as human being or subtle body that feels comfortable in their respective region because their frequencies correspond to that region. With increasing spiritual power, the ghosts become even more subtle and are found in progressively deeper negative regions. Thus ghosts who have the least spiritual power are found in the Nether region. The ghosts that exist in the deeper rungs of Hell are progressively more powerful and evil.…

    According to Fobes.com, "Sinister” was the number one horror film within the last five years and “…the most terrifying, disturbing, well-acted, perfectly paced horror film…” (Hughes, The Top 10 Horror Films Of The Last Five Years). There are two different categories of horror stories. The first category is fiction. This category was created to relate to the person reading, make it something they believe could happen to them. The second category is psychological. This category was created to get the reader to question the characters sanity. Many people may ask why someone would put themselves through such a suspenseful time reading or watching horror stories. Someone should ask them "Why not? What are you scared of?" I believe many people do…

    One day, I was going to the gym with my friend and we were riding bicycles. Three blocks away from the gym, there were 4 big African American guys were standing and they were looking at us. We were just slowly riding our bicycle on the side walk and then those 4 guys came up to us and blocked our way. There were no people on the street except us. I knew why they stopped us, because my friend and I had an expensive headphones on our neck and they were looking at our headphones. One of the guy said “Why did you take my brother's headphones?” then I said “ I don't know what you are talking about and I don't even know your brother, these are our headphones.” then he was quite for a second and his other friend pulled out his knife and said “ Look! If you don't give us your headphones now otherwise it's going to be bad for you”. After he showed his knife our heart started beating fast. We were so freaked out, I almost wet myself when I saw the knife. My friend looked at me and I looked at him. We knew what to do, we slowly got off our bicycles and we slowly put the bicycles down. We took our headphones off from our neck and we looked back and started running. We left our bicycles, because our headphones costs a lot more than those bicycles, so we thought that leaving the bicycles were good idea. Unfortunately, those guys caught us and when they were trying to get our headphones from our hands, something happened, that I never forget, from nowhere undercover police officers showed up in seconds. Big white van stopped next to me and more cops jumped off from the van. They arrested those guys. It was like the movies, I still can't forget that. Cops told us that, they have been watching those guys, because they did some crimes in the past. We thanked NYPD for saving our lives. If, they weren't there, I don't know what would have happened to us. After that, me and my friend went to the court…

    'I fear that the ghost exists,' said Lord Canterville, smiling, 'though it may have resisted the overtures of your enterprising impresarios. It has been well known for three centuries, since 1584 in fact, and always makes its appearance before the death of any member of our family.'…

    Many people have obtained facts that suggest ghosts are real. Whether someone believes in ghosts or not, there will always be logical theories and unanswered questions to ghostly encounters. Ghost stories have been told through real-life experience (hauntings), and myth. A lot of stories and encounters have led to ghost huntings in order to find logical explanations for what has happened. The same questions have been asked for decades, “Are ghosts real?”, “Is paranormal activity real?”, “Do ghosts exist?”. The questions go on and on, but as time continues to pass, the answers from both ghost hunters and skeptics get better. Although the answers may be getting better, the questions will remain up to each individual to answer based on his or her own beliefs and paranormal…
