The Gloomy Night

Tom Hannemann

            One night four friends lost a bet to go stay at the old mansion out side town what is said to be haunted.  People say that the people were murdered in the house and souls come back to haunt it, but they say they just don’t scare you they kill you. 

            The four friends Bill, Jordan, Rachel, and Mike went out to the old house Friday night, which happened to be Friday the 13^th.  They rolled up and thought it was going to be a breeze staying at the old house.  The friends walked into the house and it was huge. They all called the rooms they were going to sleep in.  It was about 12 at night and they were all pretty tired so they decided to go to sleep.  They went to their separate rooms and fell asleep. 

While Rachel was getting ready for bed, brushing her teeth, she heard a funny noise but she didn’t think anything of it.  She kept brushing her teeth but she kept hearing the noise. It started to scare her, she screamed for everyone to come to her room to listen to it.  The noise kept coming.  As the night went on there was more noise.  Suddenly it was growing fainter as the noise was leaving but they wanted to figure out what it was.  They followed as the noise went into the basement, it lead them into a room. 

The noises were gone, they were confused why they were gone. It was as if the noises lead them to the room.  Then out of nowhere they heard a loud BOOM! From the floor they figured, “lets dig!”
