The mystery house
The Great Halloween Spoof

It was a dark and kooky night when it happened. My worst nightmare happened. My friends and I were coming home from the big football game with some girls when {pause} my friend dared me to go into the "so called" old haunted mansion on N. Klent and Broadway Ave.. Why he had to do it in front of my friends and some other kids from school? I was trapped and he knew it. So I walked up the old cracked walkway. Went up the stairs as the wood whined under the weight, and turned the doorknob. Phew I said as the clicking of the knob informed the door was locked. Its locked I yelled as I leaned against an old metal pole that probably once held a flag. Then clunk clunk creak {pause} the metal pole had been pushed down by the weight I had placed on it and the door had opened.

As I entered the house I thought it was the end of me for I stood atop an endless void. Correction I stood in the center of a void looking down into a never-ending drop. Wait a second. There was something wrong here and it wasn't the fact that I felt like I was going to lose my lunch so I jumped. Clunk I felt so stupid I was standing in a room painted to look like a huge hole. So proudly I walked across what was once a frightening room. Wearing a smug little smile on my face {pause} until I fell into what was a void except for the slide that bore me farther into the belly of the beast that was this house.

I was now in the basement or so the sign on the wall said. Now I was in deep trouble. I was trapped in the basement of a haunted and overall freaky house. So I did what any brave kid would do in my position.. I got off my butt and yelled, "I want my mommy"! As I had stood up I had unluckily stepped on a board that broke and I fell with it.

I am now standing in the cellar if what is written on the wall is true. I am now lucky to be alive thanks to the pile of clown wigs I landed in. Clown wigs?

    It seemed like I was wandering into a different dimension. My senses were becoming acquainted to new feelings: guttural whispers, excruciating odour, ponderous glass-like air and the cemented, pungent, taste of death! As I opened the door candlelight rose to greet me but who lit them? I was informed that the secluded house I was purchasing has been unoccupied forever.…

    The main thing is, why don’t they just leave? The answer in the best haunted house literature is, they don’t leave because they cannot. Something keeps them inside. When someone takes on a house they form a bond between self and architecture. Houses are where people have to go when they are trying to hide. This makes it all the more terrifying when the houses turn on us. Our houses are everywhere.…

    Room Of The Mysteries

    Introduction At its core, history is conjecture. While it is possible to seek out and understand factual events, discerning the true nature of those events is often impossible. However, artifacts found at archaeological sites can aid in illustrating the cultural context of ancient civilizations, allowing historians to better speculate about the people who lived during that age. Pompeii and Herculaneum provide historians such an opportunity because they were almost perfectly preserved following the devastation of Vesuvius. Although some artifacts did perish in the fires and aftermath, many of the houses, villas, and public buildings still stand.…

    The House of Spirits

    Much of The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende revolves around the life of one of its main characters Esteban Trueba. Esteban Trueba is an aggressive, violent character whose only goals throughout the novel are to achieve success and power. The reader sees his brutal nature through the way he deals with people around him, whom in his eyes are all significantly inferior. However, one minor character in The House of the Spirits seems to change Trueba’s aggressive nature. When Esteban first meets Transito Soto, she is a prostitute in a brother nearby to his farm in Tres Marias. However, she soon proves much more worthy. What may seem like an insignificant meeting at first turns out to affect his life over and over again throughout the story, as she reappears several times throughout Esteban’s life.…

    It was still in its nondestroyed state. I was with my friends from night one plus my friend's mother that I mentioned earlier as well, and my own parents. I walked into the building and I saw that room with a locked door that has the light on at all times. I was told to never go inside of that room. They told me that it was not for me to go into. I was going on vacation to this house for some reason so I had to unpack my bag in a bedroom. The house was very old so I ignored any movement that I heard I put my things on the bed and I was very cold. My mom called out for me to go to the main room. I went out there and noticed that people were crucified, hanged, torn in half, and burned. The door with a mysterious light was open and the girl was standing in front of it. I was afraid not because of the bodies but because the door was open. The girl motioned for me to come to her and I was unable to resist walking to her. As I got closer she looked more disfigured and evil. Her eyes were the biggest part that I remember. They were black with light pupils. She had claws like in my earlier dreams and she had a scream that paralyzed me. She ran at me and right as she was about to hit me I saw every event that I have that I have done to help or hinder people in real life. This felt like it went on forever and then I woke up screaming and in a cold sweat. My mother was trying to wake me up for ten minutes because of my screams. I knew that something was wrong at this…

    It was a cold windy rainy Halloween Night. You could hear the waves were crashing into the beautiful lake michigan shores, and the cheers from the Prairie soccer game. Children running around hoping to get delicious treats and sweets. I was with Leah, Lee, Vinny, and Ethan and we were hoping to have a memorable night. Though we would not remember the night from the candy we received, the dinner we ate, the candy trade, or meeting up with Jared, Matt and Frank. No, we would remember this night from the time we were almost kidnapped. This is what happened….…

    The windows were boarded up and the balcony was sagging, as though it could fall at any moment. There were bags of potting soil and what looked to be a modern security system by the door.When darkness came a pale white mercedes came to the house, the driver exited the vehicle and said she recently bought the house because it sits on 5 acres of land.“You think it looks bad now, you should have seen it before I came in,” she said. She said she did not want to give her name, but she had heard about these clown sightings in the area. She made the argument though that with all of the apartments around, how had somebody not managed to take a photo or video of one of these…
