"One night, i concluded my house was definitely haunted. Things started moving, walls started creaking, i started hearing strange noises coming from my baby's baby monitor, and finally, i got attacked, poltergeist or whatever they call it."

Laura opened her eyelids as she awoke up from a deep slumber. Her eyes were puffy and blood shot. Her vision was blurry, but she rubbed her eyes with the back of her palm and squinted so they could adjust to the darkness that enveloped the room.
The room felt, smelled and looked different to her from her own room which was a lot bigger and ventilated. This room looked smaller and more pungent. Her bed seemed too hard for her body's weight. It was as if she was better off lying on a mat than sleeping on the bed.
She sat up on the bed and used her hands to rub away the beads of perspiration from her face and neck. In fact she was sweating all over.
The stool she usually kept near her bed was gone, and her pink curtains with flower petals were now white with stains on them. At that moment she realized, she was nowhere near her own room.
Her heart skipped a beat as the realization of her situation hit her like a tidal wave against a shore. And the familiar feeling of being endangered crept down her spine.
She quickly shot towards the door to see if she could escape. Luckily it opened almost immediately only for her to find she was in a completely unfamiliar house.
How she got there was a mystery to her, the last thing she remembered was trying to take a nap in her room whilst she waited for her husband and daughter to return from job hunting and school, respectively.
She felt like she was in a mansion, as it possessed Victorian themed house features, which included: stained hay windows at almost every corner of the building, expensive looking iron railings which were now filled with dust, Flemish brick bonding with patterns in the brickwork made from colored bricks, and other observable features too.
Mild fog appeared out of nowhere as she silently wandered around the house praying it was a dream. Dim moonlight shining through the curtains made her movement much easier. As she walked she had a feeling she had once been there sometime before. A sense of familiarity suddenly filled her senses as she kept meandering around the house. The only problem was, she couldn't quite place her finger on it.
"Is there anyone here?" she called out, but in return she heard nothing but silence.
As she continued trying to find a way out she saw a silhouette moving a few metres ahead of her. It moved really fast so she thought it was her imagination, but when it moved again and she saw the shadow more clearly, she screamed and took to her heels.
She got into the first room she could find and locked herself in. Her heart was pounding vigorously and it felt like it was going to rip out of her chest any instant. Then came the sounds, almost inaudible at first, but then becoming louder as it got closer. She really prayed that all she saw at that moment, was a dream for there was nothing she feared more than paranormal occurrence.
She stood with her back facing the wall preparing for the unexpected. The footsteps stopped outside the room she was in. There was a knock on the door. But she couldn't say anything, she was scared. The knocking didn't stop until Laura burst into tears and she screamed, "Leave me alone!" The knocking stopped. But before her body could offer her a chance of relief, the door sprang violently open with a loud noise while she looked on in terror!
