The Adventure of a Lifetime
The Adventure of a Lifetime

As we walked down the long, narrow corridor, we thought for sure none of us were going to make it out alive. Every step that was taken involved us looking over our shoulders. Frightened out of our minds, we could think of nothing better than to run. This adventure of visiting a haunted house turned out to become a horror film. This was never supposed to happen. We were only kids looking for a little scare. We never thought we would be running for our lives.
Our adventure began in the small town of Augusta, KS with all of us around the age of sixteen. Myself and my good friend Brett had nothing better to do than go over to the famous Bob household. Bob was the greatest person to hang out with as well as his sister Rachael. Rachael had always come up with the best ideas including visiting a ghostly house. Even the thought of going there made us all shudder. Finally our boredom of the day had been released. The place had been set to investigate. We would all meet back at Bob's as the sun was setting. The darkness of the night would give this expedition even more suspense. This was going to be a trip of a lifetime, or so we thought.
Brett decided that he would drive because he had the biggest car out of all of us. Rachael and I sat in the backseat and discussed how much fun we would have if we tried to scare the boys.
"One way or another, we have to get them before they get us," she whispered to me.
I didn't know whether to respond or just ignore that comment but I just nodded and smiled back acknowledging the remark. The tension increased in the car as we inched closer to the abandoned home. With the dead trees and broken windows, the house seemed almost as if it were sad. We all climbed out of the car shuddering with fear. Brett, being the brave one, gave the front door a slight shove as we all huddled around him. The door creaked open and we all stepped inside not knowing what was waiting for us on the inside.
In front of us lay a

    The year was 1953. It was a cool, crisp twenty-ninth of October. Usually, after their chores and homework were done, Kathy, 8, and her brother Jonathan, 15, along with their friend May, 11, and her cousin Adam, 13, all went to Joe’s Arcade, the local hangout of Leaport, North Carolina. Instead, they all decided to meet at the end of their dead end street, Farrow Avenue, and go for a walk through the woods. They were all bored since the arcade was too crowded and supper wasn’t ready yet. Their town was a small town, so there wasn’t any other places to go besides the woods. Plus, the old, burned O’Leary house was out there.…

    A haunted house should be a place where visitors feel excitement, fear and relief. Excitement begins in line towards the entrance of the haunted house because one is experimenting this with a group of friends. Fear rushes throughout the body, legs begin to shake, and palms begin to sweat because one is mentally preparing for what is coming up. After going through the 20 minutes haunted house toward the end, which felt like hours one begins to feel a relief because it is finally over. In the…

    According to officials around midnight, a group of men heard shrieks coming from the historic Thornewood mansion off Spine-Tingling Way. “Someone kicked open the door,” said one man, who refused to identify himself. “Inside it smelled of mold and McBride’s slightly sour aftershave. With one hand on my flashlight, I entered and felt a wave of cold air rush past as I came face-to-face with a figure that was too solid to be a ghost, too blue to be human. He was as decrepit as Methuselah, wearing nothing but scraps of material and an ill-fitting toupee.”…

    We woke up on October 2nd at 5am and walked to school with all our gear, our tent, sleeping bags, clothes for the trip and all the other utilities we managed to fit in our backpacks. Once we arrived at school, we got into our designated cars and our journey began. Our first stop was a trucker stop where we enjoyed a delicious, finger-licking breakfast. Our second stop, was my favorite stop. It was the ghost town of Ransburg and it was everything you would think a ghost town to be old, empty, and spooky. We…

    I woke up in the middle of the night to a whistling sound. I sat up and looked around, it was 2:00 in the morning. Suddenly, a book fell off of a nearby shelf all by itself. I quickly got up and went to find Viviane. It appears she is having the same ghostly experiences that I had. We wanted to get out of this creepy house, so we ran to the verandah. When we got there we saw a strand of beads hanging on the railing. I snatched them up and they began to glow. All of the sudden, we were both picked up by two ghosts, that were both women. They hovered in the air for a minute then took off, carrying us through the skies. We came to what looked like another plantation, and they dropped us in a grass clearing, and disappeared. We were so tired; we lay down and fell asleep before we could explore our new…

    Walking through the abandoned high school hallways was even scarier at night, especially with the news that had gone all around about two teens who were found dead in our school parking lot three weeks ago. To this day the killer is still on the run, nowhere to be found. Quickly I head towards my car and at the same time feel a cold shiver go up my spine, I try to ignore it. I realize itś a Friday the day when most teens head out to the cabin hidden deep within the woods to have some fun. My friend Grace and brother Caleb were going so why shouldn’t I ? Heading towards the cabin I keep remembering about that tingly sensation on my back giving me the chills it felt as if a spider had crawled all over me. “ No , just ignore it” I kept telling myself over and over. When I returned to my five senses I realized I had already passed the cabin, quickly I made a U-turn and coincidentally the car behind me did too. It didn't bother me much until after having driven for 10 minutes the same car was trailing me! I realized the driver was following…
