My family moved to Oklahoma. We lived on Pine St.

We lived in a bright yellow house with a bright yellow door and windows that seemed to say "come up and look inside of me." But the house next door was a completely different story. There was dark gray paint that used to be a nice shade of blue but no one had painted it in 40 years.

The door was shaggy and made a loud sound when you opened it. But the person who lived in it was the worst.

He was a cranky old man whose spouse divorced him and left to California. He was so mean no one would come near his house. And in the middle of the night a shadowy figure

goes up to the room at the top of the house where you can see through a gigantic window and plays what sounds like a trombone. 

He has 2 dogs one is yippy and gray and the other one is big and nice. Everyone at my new school says the house is haunted. They say that once a kid went up to the house and knocked on the door and never returned. Which I think is a bunch of baloney. But some kids believe that stuff! Weird I know!

But then one day mom makes me walk over to the house and to deliver the cookies and I tell her " No never in a million years." she says please? Eventually I give in and walk over I knock on the door. The door opens and I fall Inside the house. I yell hello? no one answers and the door slams shut behind me. I leap back trying to open the door but there's no use it's locked I start to get nervous and think the worst. and then I hear something on the stairs and turn around as fast as I can a voice says hello and I almost faint at the sight of the person. Except it's not a person it's a ghost.

The ghost circles around me. and says how wonderful it would be if I could live or I could just suck the soul out of you!     I turn to the door and try to open it once more it doesn't budge. I run into the Kitchen and try the window it's locked I turn around and try the windows in the living room the ghost is getting closer I run to the stairs and fly up them realizing I just trapped myself in the worst possible position ever in my 12 years of living on this planet.

Boo!

Ah!

Then a boy walks into the room and distracts the ghost so I can get out I run downstairs and open the door it opens I run over to my house and cuddle up in my moms arms and kiss her. I tell her what happened and she walks over with me and knocks on the door the old man opens it and says "Hello?" Must've been your imagination my mom says. But I know it wasn't there is something wrong with that house and I will figure it out
