Abandoned House

It was a Thursday night and I was just getting ready to put my pajamas on and climb into bed when I heard a knocking sound on my window. I muted my TV and listened once more if it made that sound again. It did. I climbed out of my bed and peered out the window, it was my childish friend Drew throwing rocks at my window. I opened the window and tip-toed to my door and put my ear to the door to see if I could hear my parents talking. I didn’t hear a peep, so I quickly locked my door and went to my closet to grab some clothes, pocket knife, and a flash light and shoved it into my back pack. I grabbed the rope off my nightstand and tied it to my gutter outside my window and started climbing down the side of the house. When I reached about 3 feet from the ground I jumped and untied the rope and stuffed it in my back pack. I didn’t know what my friend Drew had in mind to do for tonight but I was about to find out.
We drove around for about 45 minutes and finally we stopped at this creepy house that had no lights on. My friend Drew parked the car on the side of the house, and we got out at the same time. When I stepped out of the car into a thick bush, it tickled my knees. We walked around the back of the house and shined the flashlight all around to see if we could see anything but unfortunately the flashlight only shone 5 feet in front of me so it did nothing. We found a door on the side of the house and jiggled the handle to see if it was open. It creaked open and I pushed Drew to walk in first. I was a little scared to walk in, but I couldn’t let my friends know that I was scared. We quietly crept around to see what was around us; we saw two rooms that were right next door to each other and a bathroom off to the side. A blinking red light was seen on the ceiling in the hall then a sudden beep, we all froze. We didn’t move until 10 seconds later the beep was heard again. “It is just the smoke

    The story started when one night I snuck out of my house to go to a party, as a result, that night I slept over at a friend’s house and found a ride home the next morning. When the car pulled into the driveway the morning after, I thanked the driver and walked up to my front porch with a sly smile to greet my obviously frustrated parents. As my mom ushered me to sit down on one of the chairs on our front porch, I know that nothing good is going to…

    “That summer the strangest things began to happen in the rear of the house,” John said. “Doors and windows began to slam. I’d go back there because I thought someone had come in.” Upon inspection though, he would discover the screen door and windows were securely latched from the inside. “There was no way anyone could go out and relatch the door or windows,” John said. One of the more unnerving occurrences even stood his friends’ hair on end. When his friends hung out in the kitchen, which is located in the rear of the house, their cigarettes would mysteriously snuff out. This happened on numerous occasions, but never in the front portion of the house. “I was scared to death of that bedroom, “said john of the room from which most of the spooky happenings seem to take place. That room, which had a window to the kitchen, happened to be his late grandfather’s bedroom and the room in which he died of natural causes 16 years…

    I noticed how abandoned the farm was. It needs much work. Jake told me about his parent’s death. And how now I am the only family he has. I knew what I had to do. Jake was responsible for the outside and I had to tend to the house. We unloaded the wagon and walked up to the house. It was way bigger then my parent’s home. This house can have fit three of them inside of it. Jake told me it was built in the finest wood that was available in his town. When the doors and windows were open the house came to life. Dust flew with the gust of wind that came in. As a married lady I was the woman of my own house now. It’s my job to make this home for my husband and me. Jake went out to tend to the yards and animals. And I started repairing the house. I like candles in the rooms to burn most of the dust smell. The sun just wasn’t doing its job today. I heated water in a pan to scrub the walls and floors. After all the dust was gone, I heated more water and gathered all the fabrics to clean them. When I was hanging the fabrics on the line I watch Jake feed the horses he looked so busy. Once the house was done I went out to his mothers garden. It needed much help also. I gathered all the vegetables that were ready. Pulled up the weeds that have grown over the time it was not tended to. Golfers poked their heads out, curious with whom was out in their garden. I was on edge, I was afraid of snakes and if there were weeds mice and golfers there…

    Why did my mom decide to move into a house where the owner didn't want to talk about it, but I think she moved here because we couldn't afford our old house because my step dad's source of income wasn't here anymore.When I typed in my address and the first thing I saw was tons of Wikipedia and websites on my house. I was shocked to see so many, when I clicked one way my jaw dropped like Pacquiao in the match vs Mayweather.. What I saw was disturbing, there have been many reports of family death in that house we lived in. Now it all made sense, that's why those boys would always call my house “That scary house on the block”. I needed to inform my mom about this right away, I wasn't looking forward to die. People said was a ghost others said it was a monster what every the hell it was, I knew I wasn't going to get in its…

    One foggy night I was with my friends. We just got done eating around 11:00. So we went outside real quick to get a smoke and we saw legs running through the alley as we walked out. We looked around for a minute because we were all suspicious. We didn’t know who it was or what it was all we know is we heard a loud yelp. But then all the sudden we looked down at the dumpster to a find a image in the dumpster. We all screamed in fright, we didn’t know what to do then we saw a girl running up and down the alley. We looked down and there was blood running down the dumpster this time. The legs were still dangling down. We thought we might have known the person but then we came to a conclusion that it wasn’t her. All that we know is the murder is a girl.…

We couldn’t leave the building, we tried everything from breaking windows with chairs, to crawling through the ventilation system. I tried to call someone but the landlines wouldn’t work and none of us brought our phones. At that moment it dawned upon me, I remember a teacher saying that the electricity at 12:30pm. Then we heard gunshot.We went to the origin of the noise.…

There was strangely no noise in the house, except the water faucet dripping. Immediately, I shut the water off. That’s when in the utter silence I heard a small scratching…

    Then a tall homeless man with a dirty gray cap, big scary eyes, and dirty torn clothes, then stared at my cousins and I. He suddenly turned behind our backs and started to follow us without our knowledge for a moment until we couldn’t see anything but the sun and the sound of cars around us, it was like he was invisible, suddenly he jumped behind us and sprayed us with some type of mist that made us all fall to the ground. A few minutes later, when we opened our eyes, we found ourselves near a big garbage can with no one around us we were clueless. There we saw a small sticky note that was stuck to the side of the garbage…

    I was led by the smoke cloud to a quaint little cottage. It did not appear to be vacant. As I was approaching the door, I noticed a faint glow in the arched window. I assumed it was candlelight. In the corner of my eye, I sensed movement. A blurry and small outline of a person topped the hill. I decided to go in to the cottage even though the movement still was etched my mind. Once in, I walked through a small sitting circle and felt warmth from the fire burning stove. Into the kitchen was a table with food. A warm and fresh prepared meal was set out for two guests. The table had turkey, peas, green beans, bread and pie. I hadn’t eaten since this morning so I decided to help myself to a plate. As I was about to take a bite of the turkey, the wood door pushed open. This sound startled me to the point of coughing. The blurred figure came through the door. It was the person I saw in field. That person was carrying a basket full of garden vegetables. When the person saw me, she asked me who I was and why I was in her house. I told her about my hunting experience and how I had walked upon the cottage. I let her know about how cold it was and that I needed a little warmth and something to eat. She didn’t feel sorry for me in the least bit. I felt extremely bad because she had made this meal for her husband and children. I gave her my regards and lots for rabbits to enjoy. I left on my horse…

    Tired, with a headache, and not in capacity to maintain my eyes open, I remembered next day was Halloween, which was the last thing I remembered before falling sleep. I woke up and saw the watch, it was three o’clock a.m. I listened to a weird sound that came from my closet; it was soft, but I could hear it like a rat scratching the walls. Intrigued about what was happening, I woke up and walked towards the closet. The sound gave me the chills.…
