I Felt Regret for Missing the Bus and Walking in a Dark Night Alone
“What a fantastic horror movie The Sixth Sense is!” I thought to myself. “But what a pity I just missed the last bus so I have to walk home alone.”
It was not such a long walk back and luckily, it was not raining. The last time I missed the bus, the torrential downpour drenched me so badly that I caught a severe cold which put me out of action for three whole days.
I was whistling as I walked along the country road back home. Suddenly, I could feel a cold wind blowing towards me. I froze. Was there an eerie white figure in the distance ahead? I cleaned my spectacles and looked again. Yes, there was and it seemed to be flying towards me.
Frantically, I started running back towards the street lights. I was so frightened that I did not see a man walking towards me and collided into him.
“Watch, where you are going, boy!” the man started angrily. When he saw my ashen face, he asked me gently, “What’s the matter? Who is after you?”
I opened my mouth but no words would come out. For a few minutes as I regained my breath and composed myself, I could only point desperately in the direction I was fleeing from.
“You look as if you have seen a ghost,” the man said.
I nodded furiously and finally managed to blurt out, “Yes, I saw it floating in the big tree about one mile down the road.”
“ A ghost? Rubbish, there are no such things as ghosts! But it looks like you need someone to accompany you home. It’s too late for such a young boy as yourself to be walking back alone. I am Kelson, by the way.”
“I am Wai Kit. Thanks so much, Mr. Kelson. Anyway, I really saw it.”
‘Ok, let’s go and find it out.” Mr. Kelson replied.
I held tightly to Mr. Kelson’s arm as we walked back, as it was now pretty dark and I was still scared out of my wits. As we walked back, he asked me why I was out so late on my own. I told him how I had missed my bus after the movie.
As we approached the tree, I closed my eyes so that I would not have to see the ghost again.
To my surprise, there was

    #8: “The stars were shining, and the leaves rustled in the woods ever so mournful; and I heard an owl, away off, who-whooing about somebody that was dead, and a dog crying about somebody that was going to die, and the wind was trying to whisper something to me, and I couldn’t make out what it was, and so it made the cold shivers run over me. Then away out in the woods I heard that kind of a sound that a ghost makes when it wants to tell about something that’s on its mind and can’t make itself understood, and so can’t rest easy in its grave, and has to go about that way every night grieving. I got so down hearted and scared I did wish I had some company” (13).…

    The Bingham Light

    My mom and stepdad took my brother and I and some other family members down to the woods one night, as we all wanted to see the infamous Bingham light. It seemed like we walked forever in the woods until we came upon a clearing in the middle of the woods. It was only about a mile though, where we had to stand and shout out John Bingham’s name until the light appeared. As we were shouting out his name, low and behold a light in the distance appeared. It was far off but you could continuously see it moving closer and closer to us. The temperature changed. It didn’t get hotter but cooler. It was very scary to be in the middle of the woods to start off with, then to see this light coming toward us even after we stopped calling his name was terrifying. We didn’t stand around for it to get to close to us. We all started running as fast as we could out of those woods. There was loud screaming coming from all of us. I remember crying and hanging on to my mom for dear life. When we got out of the woods we looked back and the light was gone. We then began to laugh. No one can say if there really is a ghost out there in those woods or if we let our imagination get the best of us. It could even be someone else playing…

    As I walked closer to the entrance, my heart began pounding harder and harder. I could feel the sweat in my hands, as the time closer. Walking into the first room, I was grabbing my dad’s hand. I could feel my hands sweating almost like Niagara Falls. I tried to keep my eyes closed, but it would just make it worst. I slowly began to open them, and the creepy actors were everywhere. They yelled, and ran, all over the place. My fear just got worst.…
