Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

Poltergeist

It was summer in Washington Hampshire when we went on vacation. It was our long vacation and we're gonna enjoy the view in that place. Me and my friends found a spot for us to stay in the night since it took us long enough to travel and we needed to energize ourselves to sleep. We couldn't find a cheap rent for the apartment and all of our friends didn't have enough money to rent it, so we were still finding a place to stay at night.

Lucky for us we found a house near the corridors of the city. It doesn't look old and it definitely doesn't look new. You could see the emblems and figures designed in the house it looks like a castle but it's smaller than it looks like. One of us opened the door and we're lucky it's not locked.

"Let's stay here for a while, since the owner is not here let us borrow its house for the night," one of my friends said.

We didn't refuse at all although what we're doing is trespassing but more than that all we want is a place to stay we didn't have any intention to steal anything from the house we just wanted a house for us to stay on a cold night.

We entered the house and were amazed to see how organized and clean the house was, the owner was nice to keep their house neat. We found a bedroom around the place and it was comfortable and big. Since we were tired we all went to sleep my friends were already sleeping while I was still awake and couldn't sleep. I don't know why I can't sleep when I'm tired but maybe my body doesn't cooperate at all. I tried to close my eyes but still, my mind was wide awake.

Maybe I just need a stroll for a moment to make me fall asleep, as I was thinking I went out of the bedroom and went downstairs to the living room with the shelves full of books. I looked at every book on the shelves and there was something I noticed, all the books were about evil stuffs. I didn't even read what was written on it, I just looked everywhere in the house.

When I was looking at the pictures something just fell on the floor, I was surprised by the noise because it's loud. I quickly picked what just fell and it was just a frame with a picture. I looked at the picture it was a picture of a girl maybe that girl was the owner and there was something that caught my attention.

The picture of a girl is taken in the living room. I took a closer look at the picture and saw something unusual. A figure of hands on the wall is formed it's just not one but there were many of them it kinda looks like a poltergeist or something. I dropped the picture frame and quickly went upstairs.

I heard bumping again and the floor started to shake, I panicked and continued to run until I went to the bedroom. I woke my friends up and they were scared because the floor was shaking they even thought it was an earthquake but I told them that it wasn't, it was a cause of poltergeist maybe it knew that I had found out the mystery in its house that's why it gets so aggressive easily.

We took all of our things and ran outside the house, "What was that?" One of my friends asked. I told them that the poltergeist got angry when we went to the house that's why it caused the floor to shake. Unlike me, my friends can't believe what just happened so we just leave the place and never come back.

After that, I told my parents about the poltergeist I was so shocked to see them so quiet and at the same time they were shivering like they felt what I felt that day.

Until Mom said, "We just feel it in our house too yesterday night" and what my mom said made me shiver in fear.
