THE HAUNTED HOUSE

-Narrator: Long ago in village called Quesuantaown, something terrible happened. Three friends Hayley, Matt and Charlotte decided that they would go to the old house in Willington. The house belonged to a wealthy family who had died years ago. The house was big and frightening. It was said that it had a curse in it, I was delighted but Hayley, Charlotte and Matt were not but they decided that they were going on the 1 of September of 1980, at eight o’clock in the evening. They were walking to the door of the house of the outside Willington. They opened the entry gate.

-Matt: Girls come, we will not go now ( Matt said, al though it was only because they seem more brave)

-Narrador: finally they decided to go into… the switch seemed to still working, follow the hallway on the left, which leaded the to the sitting zoom, all felt shivers and Charlotte got cared.

-Charlotte: What if we leave?

-Hayley: Charlotte come on. We don’t yield now.

-Matt: Sure, all come into,

-Narrador: Suddenly they heard a strange noise.

-Charlotte: What was that?

-Hayley: I don’t know

-Matt: Sue it was our imagination, we will forget the noise and have fun, no? Well, sure it is one of those old funiture that has cracked.

-Hayley: If we want we will have fun

-Charlotte: why don´ t we lie our sleeping bags and stuff?

-Narrador: When time to sleep comes. Charlotte wants to go.

-Charlotte: Hayley, Hayley.

-Hayley: What do you want now?

-Charlotte: I have to go the bathroom. Please come with me.

-Hayley: Charlotte go alone. You are old to get by your own. Let me sleep and go

-Charlotte: Ok, I’m going.

-Hayley: Come soon ( said Hayley)

Charlotte: Ok.

Narrador: Charlotte went out of the room and turned right to reach the hall. There she had the feeling that someone was following her. She was stunned and asked many times if there was anyone. There was no answer and she continued down. She found the bathroom and she saw a girl in the mirror. Then she realized that it wasn’t any mirror, she saw a blonde tall girl. She almost lost consciousness, but she turned around and checked that was no her imagination. Then she turned round, but no, it was not her imagination, the girl was there.

-Girl: Hello, welcome to your death

-Charlotte: aaaaaaaaaaaaaah

-Narrador: She awoke the others.

-Matt: What was that?

-Hayley: Charlotte.

-Matt: What?

-Hayley: Charlotte went to the toilet

-Matt: We must go to see where Charlotte is

-Narrador: They heard Charlotte again. Matt went to check. Then they saw two ghosts. They went to the room to which Charlotte had cried. She was dead. The two friends knew they were going to die, that it would be their last day. Hayley decided to write somewhere: ”Hayley , Matt and Charlotte three friends who died here on 1 September 1980.” They screamed so loud, that a girl who lived nearby was woken up.
