It was a big house with many different shaped windows. Also, it had a dirt driveway. The house was near a muddy, ugly lake. I swear the day we moved in was the scariest day of my life.
I should start at the beginning, My name is Rose Kelly. I live in a house of four. Mom, dad, and my sister Donna Kelly. My best friend is Donna. She is twelve years old. Donna is funny, nice and considerate. Many people at school think it is odd that I have my sister as my best friend. I think she is very pretty. She has brown hair, brown eyes and a tan, that she was born with. Also, it compliments her hair.(Sometimes we fight, but not a lot.) Donna loves to be on stage, and she is not superstious or anything like that. Both of us are down to earth.
On Monday, Donna asked about the move. I told her I was “freaked out” about it. When we got home, I asked mom what the address would be? She said “450 Spirit Lane.” I do not like the sound of that. “Mom ,the name Spirit Lane gives me the creeps!” “Sweet heart, it is a nice house! Honey, want to look at some photos of the house?” mom asked. I said “OK.” I took pictures of the photos with my digital camera, then I put the photos on my laptop. When I zoomed into the pictures, I could see strange images. I thought they were ghosts! I showed mom the pictures. She said, “Maybe it is a blur on the screen.”
When we moved into the house, I heard strange sounds, empty rocking chairs rocked, lights turned on and off, water turned on and off, too. One night, I saw the ghosts myself! They looked like a family. The ghosts looked see-through. The ghosts were scary and I was very afraid to see that someone lived here before us! I thought that this must be a dream. I will blink and then I will be awake! Oh no, it was not a dream! My family did not believe in ghosts. “Hello,” I said trembling, “What do you want? My family just moved here and I did not want to move away from my friends.” In the blink of an eye, I could see a photo album placed on the couch. As I flipped through the pages, I gasped! The family of ghosts once lived in this house!
Only when my family saw the strange happenings did they want to leave. The ghosts wanted us to leave, too. Everything we touched in the house including the water and phone did not work. The ghosts made terrible wailing noises. We felt trapped! I thought I would never see my friends again. By morning dad, mom, Donna and I decided to leave. We are safe now. Now we live in the same house we moved out of and to this day, we swear that the scariest day of our lives was our moving day!
