Everybody says that the old house down the street situated at the end of the road is haunted.It used to be the residence of a very rich family but now none of them would want to stay there.For that reason the house is vacant and not being cared for by anyone.The surrounding compound is filled with grass and overgrown weeds.

                 On one fine day Jack and his friend Chris made a decision to find out once and for all if rumours spread about the house was true. So one late evening they bravely entered the house and prepared themselves to stay there overnight.They brought along two sleeping-bags,some food and drinks,a powerful torch-light and a portable stereo set.

                 The early part of the night seems to be quiet and peaceful.There was no trouble at all.They sat on their sleeping-bags and enjoyed themselves by listening to their favourite tunes.

                 Twelve midnight came and they started to feel a bit sleepy. They  turned off the music and crawled into their sleeping-bags.However sleep seems to be impossible due to the heavy atmosphere hanging around them.The room was eerily silent and the darkness was oppressive.For Jack and Chris it was like watching their favourite horror slot The Goosebumps only this one is much more frightening.

                All the tossing and turning stopped suddenly when they were uncannily struck by a soft whining noise coming from upstairs.None of them had the courage to investigate the noise.So they just lay quietly in their sleeping-bags hoping that it will go away.Unfortunately it did not.

               The noise became louder and louder.From whining now it sounded like someone is moaning.Jack was overwhelmed and he quickly hurried out of his sleeping-bag and switched on the torch-light.As they were torching there were no visible  signs of any movement whatsoever.The empty walls of the living-room happens to be the only thing they could lay their eyes upon.

                All of a sudden there was a loud crash from upstairs and the moanings turned into screams.Jack and Chris got the scare of their life.They screamed their heads off and ran out of the house as fast as they could,leaving behind all their belongings.The hair on the back of Jack’s head stood on end for hours afterwards.

               After what had happened that chilling night they never dared to go back to that house again even in the daylight.Chris’s uncle had to go and retrieve all the things they have left behind that scary night.

               So, what do you think?Is the house really haunted?All I can say is that if you really want to know,go and find out for yourself.
