CAHABA SCHOOL HOME

In 1963 on all Hallows Eve in Salem, Massachusetts two boys and their father went hunting in the woods. The father warned the boys to stay by his side and not venture off, because of the recent witch trials. The boys did what their father had said and stuck to his side, the father notices an animal that he has never seen before, it was big and had hair covering all aspects of his body, the eyes glowed red and ears that pointed straight up. The animal soon charged the father, screaming to his boys to run out of the woods and get help from the townspeople. The sound of three gunshots filled the air and then the sound of a scream was let out. The older boy who was fourteen stopped and told his younger brother who was twelve to run on and get others. The younger brother argued for a minute but then realized the rational thing to do so he did as he was told and ran to town to get help. Now his father’s life and his Brother’s life is at risks so he ran faster and faster. The older brother runs to where they left their father and saw nothing but a ripped blood covered shirt that belonged to his father and also the rifle his father was using. Looking around for anything to determine a trail to follow he notices foot prints leading to a little house in the middle of the woods. He hides and peeks into the window and see five elderly women and a tall man standing around a fire speaking in a language that hes never heard before. He notices in the corner a man with a burlap sack over his head shackled to the ceiling. Realizing that he is out numbered he sneaks around and tries to find an alternate way into the house, so he walks around the house looking for an entry point. He notices a hole in the roof so he climbs up a tree alongside of the house and climbs in the hole. He drops his father’s rifle and it makes a loud noise. It alerts the people down stairs and they all go to investigate. The tall man notices the boy and he grabs him. Brings him around the fire in front of the five women and they start whispering about what to do, they all came to a conclusion and decided to make an example of the man and the boy so they all mount on brooms and fly to the towns chapel and started chanting and casting bright lights into the sky screaming their purpose of bringing all of the dead back to life and that this is what will become of them if they try to stop them from doing so, at that moment the father and son that were captured were suspended in the air over the town and caught on fire and turned to dust over the town.

A cold wind picked up as Jackie and Alice hurried across the parking lot to their car. As the two girls got into the car they tossed the grocery bags into the back seat and waited for the car to warm up.

“Cold night huh?” Jackie mumbled as she fumbled with the radio. “So whose house are we spending this Halloween at? Your house or mine?”

“Well my parents are at some costume party and won’t be back until late so no one will be at my house.” Alice said turning the heat down and putting the car into reverse and pulling out of the parking lot onto the main road. “And the downstairs is clean so we can set up down there.”

“Ok sounds good to me. What movie do you want to watch first?” Jackie asked leaning on the cool glass of the window.

“A zombie movie would be a good start to this fine Halloween night, don’t you think?” Alice said watching the road. “You know I don’t see why you insist on us driving twenty minutes to go to that Publix when there is a Mini Mart five minutes away from my house.” She added as they winded up the mountain out of the quiet little valley.

“More options. Hey look at those kids!” Jackie said pointing out the window at a group of kids skipping down the sidewalk in costumes. “I like the princess. She is so cute.” She said smiling looking up the street as they drove on looking for more costumes. “Oh look a couple zombies! They look real. Hey wait I think those are some of the freshman. Yup that’s Sam Nickle he’s in my art class.” She said laughing a bit as she slouched down in the seat and put her feet on the dashboard. “You drive like my grandma Alice. Actually I think you drive a little slower.” She said pulling out a Kit Kat bar and taking a bite. As the car rounded the corner onto Alice’s street Jackie sat up and looked for trick or treaters. The street lights were flickering on as the girls gathered their bags and hurried inside.

“Did you see allot of kids on the street?” Alice said pouring two bags of candy into a bowl and placing it on a table just outside the front door then slipping back inside pulling the door shut behind her.

“No I think I was a couple kids dressed as zombies and I saw a zombie bride and a little princess running up to a house. That was all… Seemed oddly quiet. Hey aren’t you going to lock the door?” Jackie asked flopping down onto the couch and turning the tv on.

“Nah, James will be home soon and you know how he gets when he has to unlock it. Hey feet off the table!” Alice said as she took her shoes off and slid into the kitchen. “Do you want some pizza or something to drink?” she asked as she took a seat on a bar stool after grabbing a coke and a slice of pizza.

“Pizza! Of course!” Jackie said hopping off of the couch and walking into the kitchen, handing Alice the remote as she walked past. “There is a Halloween movie fest on HBO I think.” She said grabbing a paper plate and two pieces of pizza. “So anyway what did your brother dress up as this year?” She asked as she slid onto a bar stool next to Alice. “Oh look Dawn of the Dead followed by Shawn of the Dead!” she exclaimed looking at the guide that was on the screen.

“Ok I’m going to it.” Alice said changing the channel. “And he and Nick decided to be ballerinas this year. They looked really funny. Like they went out and got pink tights, leotards, and tutus. And I think they decided on black converse for shoes. “ Alice said laughing. “Nick even pulled his hair into a pony tail on the top of his head.” She added.

The girls sat eating candy for the next couple hours watching the movies. They heard kids outside running around having fun, and as the night continued on the noises outside grew faint and slowly gave way to owls and the occasional passing car. The sounds of the retiring night slowly lulled the two girls to sleep on the couch.

Jackie suddenly woke up, one arm was dangling off of the couch and her phone had fallen into the crack between the two cushions. She dug it out to see what time it was. 2:00am. She glanced up at the TV, The Rocky Horror Picture Show was playing. She grinned and started to watch it. She glanced over at Alice who had also started to wake up. “Yo sleepy head, look what’s on.” She said pointing at the TV.

Alice groaned and rolled over sitting up. “What time is it?” she mumbled glancing around the room, the only light was coming from the TV and the light over the stove in the kitchen.

“It’s two thirty. What time are your parents coming home?” Jackie asked pulling the box of Jawbreakers off of the table and popping a few into her mouth.

“They should be back by now but I don’t see any car in the driveway or keys on the counter.” She said getting up and looking out the window. She walked over to the door and opened it. The candy bowl was laying on the ground and almost half of the candy that she had put in the bowl was strewn across the porch. “Stupid kids.” She mumbled picking up the bowl and the candy before slipping back into the warmth of the house. She pushed the big oak door closed behind her and locked it. “Did you hear James and Nick come in?” she asked as she walked into the living room.

“Nope, sure didn’t. And we would have knowing how loud they are.” Jackie said looking over at Alice. “I wouldn’t worry about it. They probably went to Nick’s house for the night.” Jackie added noticing the worried look on Alice’s face.

“Well yeah but I’m surprised my parent’s still aren’t back.” She said pulling her phone out of her pocket. Two missed calls and one voicemail and one text. She listened to the voicemail. It was her mom letting her know that they were going to be back late. And the text was from her brother confirming that just as Jackie had said that he was staying at Nick’s house for the night. “You were right. Just checked my phone.” Alice said jumping over the back of the couch. At the end of the movie Alice stood up and stretched. As she turned to Jackie to see what she wanted to watch next a movement in the corner of her eye caught her attention. She looked over at the window by the stairs and saw a dark figure. She instinctively crouched down behind the couch and peaked over the edge of the back cushion. “Jackie someone is looking through the window.” She whispered.

“What?” Jackie said crouching down next to Alice. “The stained glass one?” she asked looking towards the stairs.

“I’ll go look.” Jackie said getting up and walking slowly towards the clear window that was a few feet from the stain glass one. She crouched down and peered outside. The figure was just standing there. Upon further inspection she noticed it was Nick, his costume torn and his face dark with make up. She then noticed that James was standing next to him. What are they looking at? She wondered walking towards the stairs. On the stairs she got a better look at the two of them. They were zombie ballerinas she decided. She smiled and tapped on the glass trying to scare them. As soon as she tapped on the glass the two boys started freaking out and banging on the glass.

“It’s just your brother and Nick. You didn’t tell me they were zombie ballerinas!” she said giving Alice a playful punch.

“Because they aren’t. I helped them get ready.” Alice said looking out the window. The James and Nick were gone. “Where did they go?” Alice asked clutching Jackie’s arm.

“I don’t know.” Jackie said peering out the window, “But they were defiantly dressed as zombies just now.” She said looking at Alice. The two sat in silence for a couple seconds and then they heard someone banging on the door. “Should we get it?” Jackie whispered.

“Yeah it’s probably Nick and James just trying to scare us. I bet they changed their costumes at the party.” Alice said trying not to sound scared. She stood up and with Jackie by her side they made their way to the front door. Alice looked out of the window next to the window and saw her brother and Nick standing there in awkward positions. Nick looked like he had a big bite on his neck and James looked like his eye and the flesh off of his cheek was missing. James stared blankly at the door with his one visible eye. Nick was standing behind him slack jawed looking at the bench just next to the door. Alice had a wave of uneasiness rush over her as she watched the two of them. They looked like themselves but at the same time they looked completely different. After a couple of seconds Nick let out a low growl that turned into a shriek. Alice watched them intently as if frozen to the spot.

Jackie peered over Alice’s head as she heard the shriek. “Something isn’t right.” She whispered looking at the two boys standing on the porch. “Why doesn’t he use his keys?” she asked spotting James’ key ring hanging out of his pocket.

“I don’t know.” Alice whispered still watching her brother. A couple minutes after Nick had made the awful shrieking noise Alice noticed movement on the front lawn. More dark figures were coming towards the house. As they neared she began to recognize them. Friends and neighbors all dawned with the strange look and zombie makeup. “Uh Jackie I don’t think the zombie makeup is really makeup.” She whispered watching people crowd around up on the porch.

“What do we do?” Jackie asked her thoughts racing as the crowd on the porch and front lawn grew.

“I don’t know. Maybe we should hide.” Alice said getting ready to get up off of the floor. Just as she began to turn around to escape a hand broke through the glass and grabbed her by the neck. She let out an earth chattering scream and tried to get free but the hand’s grip was too tight. The hand slowly turned her around she saw that Jackie was screaming too and a hand was around her neck too. The hand finally stopped turning her once she was facing the window. He brother was looking at her with one red eye and squeezing her neck tighter and tighter. She started trying to fight even harder but she was having a hard time breathing and after a few minutes she became limp and blacked out.

“Alice, Alice, Wake up! I had the craziest dream!” Jackie said shaking Alice into consciousness. “Your brother and Nick and everyone… Zombies…. Window…. Porch…. Choking….” Alice only caught a few words of Jackie’s ramble. She looked around the room and then at the front door. No broken glass. She reached for her neck. It was soar. She looked into the kitchen and saw her mother cooking pancakes. Nick and James were sitting at the counter their backs to her they were wearing their pajamas. “What is going on?” Alice thought. “Jackie lets go up to my room and change.” She said grabbing Jackie’s wrist.

“We will be right back.” Alice called over her shoulder. The two girls rushed into Alice’s room and shut the door. “What is going on?” Alice said looking at Jackie. “That was not a dream last night. There is no way we had the same dream! And my neck, my neck hurts. But the window, it isn’t broken anymore. Something is wrong.” Alice said her thoughts racing as she paced around her room.

“Maybe we just had similar dreams because of all of the zombie movies we watched last night.” Jackie said twirling her long hair around her finger.

“No I had the exact same dream as you. And my neck hurts. Doesn’t yours?” she asked

“Well kinda, but it’s probably sleeping on the couch.” Jackie said her thoughts now racing with Alice’s. “Let’s go downstairs and take a look at Nick and your brother. I bet it was a prank or something.” Jackie said standing up. “I can think better with food in my stomach.” She added putting on a black tank top and then putting her grey hoodie on over it.

“Ok fine.” Alice said following Jackie out of the room. “Wait, here just in case.” She said handing Jackie a bat. “Don’t ask. My dad makes me keep a bat in my room in case someone breaks in.” she added with a half grin. The two girls made it down the stairs and into the living room. Trying to conseal the bats as well as they could the two made their way into the kitchen. Nick and James’ faces were still obstructed from the girls view once in the kitchen. “How was the party?” she asked Nick and James hoping they would turn.

“It was life changing.” James said cynically slowly turning to reveal that nothing was wrong with his face. “One I will never forget.” He added and he, Nick, and Alice’s mom started laughing. Alice took a step backwards and felt the crunch of glass under foot and looked down and saw blood covered shards of glass laying in a pile under her feet. “How was your night little sis?” he asked Alice looked up and to her horror his face had distorted into the evil face missing one eye that he had had last night. “Will it be one you forget about anytime soon?” he cackled, standing up and making his way towards the two girls with Nick and Alice’s mom close behind him, both of their faces were distorted too.

It was October 31^st and all of the girls were dressed up in their Halloween costumes getting ready to go out for a good time. One of the three girls, Jessica, had a boyfriend who throws a big Halloween party every year. The girls arrived and began what they thought would be one of the best nights of their lives. Every girl was dressed in a cute costume except one who was wearing a clown mask, dressed in all black and was covered in fake blood, people thought it was strange that a girl would choose this costume but hey maybe she was ugly and didn’t want to be seen.

Well Jessica’s boyfriend, Brian, was star football player of his school, pretty much the most popular guy and since Jessica was dating him this made her the most popular girl and there were a lot of jealous girls because of it. Jessica is dancing with Brian at his party, she hadn’t seen her other two friends since they got there so she decides to go to the bathroom and then go and find them. She walks in and opens the door to the stall and finds the creepy girl with the clown mask standing there. She’s says “oh im sorry!” and then very quickly closes the door and walks to the next stall thinking nothing of it.

with a knife staring at Jessica. She gets pissed saying, "Cut it out, nice joke, not funny" and tries to walk out. The girl stabs Jessica repeatedly saying that Brian is hers and she eventually kills her. The girl takes off her clown mask and it is Jessica’s best friend Whitney that had gone to the party with her. Whitney then comes out of the bathroom goes and kills Brian and everyone starts running and screaming trying to get out of the party. Whitney killed her two best friends and her secret lover Brian and got away completely…now every Halloween someone dresses up as the scary clown girl thinking its funny, little do they know Whitney is about to strike again.

It’s a funny thing really, hysterical even, When people come in to your life, trying to pull a Hannibal lector. They waltz in wearing another person’s smile, when there’s no good to them. There is no real smile. I had never put much thought to it before all of this went down. It had never been a topic I lingered on. I simply dispersed those people from my life and went on my way. Then again things were simpler back then, before the end.

They call it Dispersion. This disease hit like a hurricane, destroying anything in its path within days. The disease, which is actually a parasite, lives in the water. They can survive the purification process and are easily undetected. Once the parasite enters the body its main course is the brain were larva is laid and the little demons are sent out to attack the central nervous system. The adult parasites reside in the brain, feeding at bits in pieces. It all sound animalistic really but these fiends are more than just parasitic, they are human in a way, the demon everyone has deep inside taking on a earthly complex. The brain is trimmed down to the necessities, making the victim primal. The parasites then release a toxin, leaving the victim just as hungry for flesh as the parasite. This gives the human the instinct to kill, consuming flesh which feeds the parasites but leaves the human wasting away. The human has two weeks to live. You’d think that would be the end but for the humans who are bitten or scraped by the infected it is only the beginning. A vicious cycle of what myth would label zombies. There is no known cure therefore there is no end to what many are calling the end.

If I remember correctly it was the twenty fourth of October, a Monday to. School was in session and I was everything but ready to learn. To say the least, it had been an eventful weekend. Dordan waltzed in late, his usual arrogance not far behind him. But something was different. He usually hid his douche bag ways from the teachers at least but today was different. He was barbaric to everyone. It wasn’t until I called him out on it that I realized there was more to this mood. His eyes were empty, sadistic even. A foamy line of drool traced the side of his mouth, dripping from his unshaven chin. My words seemed to do nothing, not even penetrate his hearing in the slightest. Something snapped in that tense moment, a rumble emitting itself from the slightly pot bellied kids stomach. Not a moment more was wasted before he lunged at me. I had only a moment to jump to the side, watching in shock as the red head slammed into the wall, knocking what brain cells he might have had left to the floor. I didn’t give him time to get up instead I turned on my heels and ran, getting into my car and securely locking the doors. They were everywhere, people who that morning had seemed so normal now stumbling through the roads with bloodthirsty intentions.

It’s been a month now and I’m writing this from the safe house I’ve been staying in. I’m not sure how safe it will remain as a few of our residence are showing signs of dispersion. The human race is wasting away and I can’t help but wonder if it’s just the parasites to blame.The human race had grown desolate and selfish. Not to mention arrogant. They had come to believe that they could control whatever might come at them. I’ve noticed that those with the dark tendencies to begin with are usually the easiest prey to the mind altering parasite. Maybe this is karma. They can’t hide their evil with fake smiles anymore. They have nothing but death to look forward to. They say karmas a brat. I say karmas got it right. The end was coming and I couldn’t have imagined a more deserving way for it to show up.

Once I was in a cemetary with my friend just walking around. We felt as though something wasnt right. We felt an eerie feeling come upon us. But we ignored it and kept walking. About 30 minutes later I felt something tug on my hair, but I looked behind me and there wasn't anything there. Then suddenly something tripped me, and I still didn't know what it was!

My friend and I started running away back to the car so we could escape. But while we were running, it felt like a force field stopped us and we couldn't run anymore. We stood there for a few minutes in shock. But then....coming from the woods there were five zombies walking out nonchalantly! We were terrified and began running again. All of a sudden we found an abandoned house and went into it. We could see the zombies walking in the distance, so we put all of the furniture in front of the doors and windows. They got closer and closer to the house and out of nowhere we heard a horrible, screetching noise. One of the zombies had snuck into the house and was squealing in anger. He attacked my friend and ate him. I took off running as fast as I could. I ran for miles-- it felt like. I was in the dark woods alone. I was running and running, but I could not out run the zombies. They attacked me and attempted to eat me but fortuneately, I got away alive but with many scars. Now I live at a mental institution..

One night a girl, named Angelina and her boyfriend, Paul, went to a cemetery on Halloween because Paul was a security guard there, and he brought Angelina because it was their 1 year anniversary. When they got there, they realized that it was a little darker than they expected. There was suppose to be a full moon out that night, but it had been blocked by clouds. So Paul pulled two flash lights out of his backpack and they carried on up the path to the gate.

When they got to the front gate they noticed a new sign, it read “Do not step on any of the grave stones marked with a black X.” Thinking that it was just a prank, they enter the cemetery. They walk through the cemetery and read the head stones. Suddenly, they see a dark figure far in the distance. It looked like a woman, and she was crying. Paul screams “Hey you! The cemetery is closed!” The weeping woman turns around and walks away. Paul and Angelina follow her. They follow her deeper and deeper into the cemetery. After about 5 minutes they catch up to her, but she disappears.

They look down to find that they are standing on a grave, they look at the head stone, and it has a black X on it. “Paul, I’m scared!” said Angelina. “Me too.” replied Paul. So they ran back to the front gate, but it was locked. Finally Paul said, “were going to have to jump it. It’s very risky but I think we will be ok.” Angelina replied “I trust you, I will go first” So she climbed the fence, no problem. She waited on the other side for Paul, but suddenly, out of nowhere the woman comes back, this time she has a knife in her hand, and she kills Paul. Terrified, Angelina gets in the car and drives to get help. But as she is pulling out of the drive way of the cemetery, she sees the lady standing in the road, holding the knife. Angelina honks her horn, but she doesn’t move. She says to herself “forget it!” and she steps on the gas. But she goes right through the woman, she doesn’t hit her.

Angelina is gets really freaked out now. So she keeps driving. But when she looks at her back mirror, she sees the face of the woman, sitting in her back seat. She turns around quickly and she sees nothing, but when she turns around she sees the woman sitting in her passenger seat. She screams and then she is killed. The next morning, the manager found Paul dead at the gate and some cops found Angelina in her car in a ditch a couple of after they found Paul. They were buried in that very cemetery, with black X’s painted on their head stones.

In Trussville, Alabama where I live there is a story about two people who lived there back when the town was first being settled. According to the story, a woman named Belle lived on one side of the Cahaba River and a man named Dominic lived with his family on the other side. The families of the two hated each other because of a fight over land. However, the two had met while at the river one day and had secretly started seeing each other. They had a system for when it was okay to meet up. When one of them could sneak away they would go down by the river and light a candle and as soon as the other one could they would meet at midnight. After several months of doing this they decided to run away and get married because they knew their parents would not allow them to marry. Then one rainy night in October, Belle and her father got into a fight because someone from town had said they thought they had seen her and Dominic together. Belle snuck out while it was storming that night and lit a candle so Dominic would meet her at midnight and they could leave that night before her father became more suspicious.

While she was trying to wait for him and keep the candle lit in the rain she slipped on the river bank and fell in the water, which was up because of the rain. Since it was raining and storming so bad no one heard her scream as the water washed her downriver. A little while later Dominic went to their spot to meet her and waited and waited for her. When she never showed up he thought her father had caught her sneaking out. A few days later a fisherman found her a few miles downriver dead with her eyes open shining a bright clear blue, her suitcase was found nearby. As soon as word went around that Belle had drowned and been found downriver Henry went crazy. People say that he went down to the river and their spot and hung himself on a nearby tree. Every year since people in Trussville started seeing strange things near a bridge over the Cahaba close to where Belle and Dominic would meet. Report on multiple sightings have included seeing a woman with bright blue eyes near the bridge crying and hearing weird “thunking” noises around the water when no one else is around. People have also said the see a man walking around and when they speak to him or ask him if he is okay, he disappears or just turns to stare at them. These reports are more common around October when it is rainy and they say Halloween is the most common night to see or hear these things. So, if you are ever in Trussville around Halloween you should visit Civitan Park around midnight because chances are you will see Belle and Dominic calling out for each other as they wonder around eternally.

On a cliché gloomy night there was a couple walking through the dark woods, all by them self. They came across a big covered bridge, and it was very dark all the way through it. It was just about a one hundred yard long bridge, the size of a high school football field. They talk about walking across the bridge but then decide not to, that it was too dark. They turn around and start to walk up the hill towards the highway, the lonely couple saw a shadow and got frightened. So they turn around and decide to go through the bridge. The couple enters the bridge and immediately see a shadow so they scream to the top of their lungs and run as fast as they can. While running the guy gets tripped by something; while he is laying there on the wooden bridge a scary man in a mask comes up to him with a bloody axe. The young man jumps up and runs after his girlfriend; they grab hands and run for dear life. They come to the end of the bridge, and it is about a one hundred foot drop off to water, with snakes and alligators in it. They look back and see about three different men with scary masks on. One of the guys had a chainsaw, the other had an axe, and the last one had a screw driver. Every single one of the tools had blood on all of them. The choice to jump wasn’t theirs, and the blood red water found the next day was proof.

Once upon a time I and my other 2 cousins just came back from the beach after thanksgiving break. We were just there because we were visiting family that lives in Jacksonville. Well, earlier that day before we left my cousins and I were all watching the news, and it said that there was a baby that had just recently died because her dad was pushing her on a swing in her back yard, and she fell off and landed on her neck. Down to the weird part ----the baby and the father just happen to be from Hoover, Alabama.

Later that night we got home at about 2 o’clock in the morning; during the whole ride my cousins and I were asleep. It had been several days before we had skateboarded, so about 3 o’clock in the morning we go outside into my front yard to skate on the path way. After about 20 we were tired, and we sat down for a second to catch our breath. When we were sitting down, we heard this swing going back and forth, back and forth; then we heard a voice; but where not sure what it was. We followed it, and as we got closer, the voice get louder until we are about 20 feet away from the voice. There was nothing there, and the voice was clearer. It was a little girl's voice saying, "Push me daddy, push me." Still nothing was there, so we all freaked out and ran inside to get our mom. When she came outside the voice and sound of the swing was gone, but all three of us had heard it, and no one will ever believe us.

One gloomy night I was watching TV and I was home alone. For the first hour it was fine then every two minutes I would hear somebody scream. I was really scared. I was running around looking everywhere. Then I saw this man with a knife behind my closet door with blood all over the place, and then he chases me. I ran 2 miles and hid for an hour, then I ran home. He never came back again, but now when I’m home alone, I always hear someone scream. I always keep a shotgun next to my bed now a days.

Once upon a time there was a boy named Grant. He loved to sleep-over at his friend's house. His mother didn't mind because he was seventeen and he could take care of himself. One day after school Grant said, "Mom, I'm home, can I go over to Roy’s house to sleep-over for a week?" His mother said, "Okay, you may go but you cannot stay at Roy's house for a week because that would be too much trouble for them." Grant replied, "Fine. I will stay there for two nights then." His mother agreed. So Grant went to Roy's house right away.

That night there was a thunder-storm and the thunder and lightning woke Grant up. He went downstairs to get something to drink because he was feeling thirsty. When he got downstairs he decided to watch TV while he was drinking his coke. When he turned on the television Dracula was on all the channels. He thought it would be creepy to watch "Dracula" on a stormy night so he sat down in front of the TV because he loved excitement. He saw a girl going up the attic to look for some old story books. Suddenly a horrible dark figure popped out and it was "Dracula!” The girl was so frightened that she could not run. Dracula bit her neck and she was dead. Grant thought it was silly, but as Dracula turned around, a hand reached out from the television and got hold of Grant.

Before he knew what was happening, he found himself inside an old, dark, mansion with dusty furniture and cobwebs all over the place. There was a coffin in the middle of the hall, and the cover was being pushed up slowly from the inside. Along with the squeaky noise rose Dracula! Grant ran for his life immediately. He was running on a red carpet leading to a heavy wooden door. Unfortunately there were hundreds of hands rising from the carpet trying to catch him. Although he was caught by them several times, he managed to escape. He opened the door with all his strength and dashed outside. But to his surprise there was nothing to support his feet! He found himself falling and falling, into the darkness and to nowhere. . .

During the early 1900s in an old mansion, lived a family. The Parents and the four children lived there. When the house was purchased they heard that the house was haunted. They did not believe a word anyone said. When a little old lady came to the door and warned them about it one day, it really scared the mother. But they still just went on with their lives for 5 years.

Nothing happened until one Halloween night. The kids were dressed up and they went out to trick or treat. When they came back they were extremely tired. They all got ready for bed and fell right asleep. The parents were awakened by loud noises they thought were coming from the kid’s rooms. They rushed up stairs. When they opened there doors, they were all fast asleep. They were then freaked out. More bangs and laughing were going on when they were standing in the hall way. There was an attic door with a little loft up a flight of stairs.

No one had been up there in years because it was dark with no windows. They noticed a blinking light coming from under the door up to the loft. The dad started towards the door and opened it. A sound of laughter from kids was traveling down the stairs. When all of a sudden it was quite. A shadow was creeping slowly toward them. Before they knew it a ghost image of 3 kids was in the door way. They told them to get out now before dad gets them to…. The parents did not hesitate and ran got the kids and left. They never came back…

Approximately about 2 hours ago down in the basement of Sloss Furnace Bernie Miller was killed in a mysterious way. Police say there were no witnesses what so ever. Police and detectives have blocked off all entrances and have closed the placed down until further notice. They also say he was taken in the air about 30 feet and then slammed into the ground face first. As time passed and the clock stuck 12 midnight, they were investigating and heard a strange ghostly noise, but did not see anything. When they came to their conclusion on the case, everyone packed up, and met up outside in the courtyard. When officer/general Maddox announced the frightening news that the killing of Bernie was not a homicide but a ghost encounter everyone feared and ran, but it was too late 20 ghosts or so swarmed them and threw every human into the furnace. This is reporter John Brock on RDE 87/30.

Two 18 wheeler's were on the highway. The two trucks smashed into each other. Mechanics took the trucks to the junkyard. Finally they took apart the mashed together trucks and found a VW beetle with the passengers still inside. The end.

My story beings in the old house with three kids Nina, Sha, and Step. They walked, and this house was dark, and they started hearing sounds. The kids thought they were just hearing things. But as they keep walking, Nina fell into a deep hole. Sha and Step were so scared that they almost left there. But they didn't. They called her name over and over again but, no anwer. Then they heard another sound---- it was an old men voice saying, " Get out of here" over and over again. Step said" Look sha, we are going look for Nina and we are leaving". But when she turned around, Sha was gone! Then she heard it again, "Get out of here now before it is too late." Step was trying to find the voice, but it was nowhere to be found. Step was trying to look for the both of them but there was no finding them. Step gave up, and still to this day the girls are still in the house.
