It was Halloween night and it was very
spooky out. Michael and April are
brother and sister, they were driving
through the country roads. There was
a thick fog. A fog so thick it made the
road difficult to see. All of a sudden
a deer ran in front of their car and
Michael swerved and hit a tree.

Michael and April then began to walk
down the misty road. They heard many
weird howling noises, high winds
blowing through the trees and the rustling
of Fall leaves. Michael heard a squeaky
door far away. "I hear a door," said
Michael, "let's go checkout the house."
"We better hurry then, I heard a strange
voice in the woods," said April.

When Michael and April arrived at the
house the storm calmed down. The
house was made of old stone and was
two stories. The windows were covered
in pale white cobwebs. "1301 Winchester"
said April. Michael opened the creaky,
iron gate to the front yard. This sound
was like a teacher scraping her fingernails
on a chalkboard. "Mike, I am scared,"
said April.

"April, you're faking it, I think there is a
phone inside," replied Michael. When
they walked up to the door and knocked
it opened by itself and when they entered
the house the door slammed shut behind
them. Michael and April both jump and
try to leave the house but the door was
locked. "Did you hear that," asked April?
"It sounds like it's coming from upstairs."
They walk through the house and go into

the kitchen. There was a weird smell
coming from the refrigerator, like rotten
eggs. When they open up the fridge they
see a duffel bag. Both April and Michael
turned to each other and made funny
faces at each other. They left the kitchen
and found mist on the floor leading them
to a library. The library was filled with
old dusty books. It had a very musty
smell. There was one book that stuck out.

It was on the top of a shelf. April picked
up the tan and tattered book. The ink on the
pages were fading. Mike read aloud,
"Talking to the Supernatural...". While
they were reading, something was
watching them through a two way mirror.
Mike felt a funny tickling on his back and
it crawled up to his shoulder. He jumped
when he saw it was a spider sitting on his
shoulder.

He took the book and swatted at the
spider as it ran away. "Michael we
need to find away out of here," said
April. They began to walk down a
long hallway. There were old, dusty
pictures lining the walls. April and
Michael head to the dining room and
see a very long table that was set for
dinner. The dark clouds parted and

cast strange shadows on the dining
room wall. The shadows were long
and pointed the way out. "We
should follow the shadows April,"
said Michael. As they made their
way back down the hallway they
saw one of the paintings tilted. April
was now in the living room while
her brother was looking at the tilted

painting. The living room had old dusty
furniture. Michael turns the picture and
it made a clicking sound followed by a
yell coming from the living room. He
ran into the living room asking his sister
if she was alright. "April I found a
secret passageway in the hallway." They
made their way down a long, narrow
hallway. There was a very big painting
at the end of the hallway that was waving

because of the wind. The painting falls
and shows a trap door that they open up.
What they saw was a tiny room with a
coffin inside of it. "I want to see what's
inside," said Michael. "Don't open it
Mike," said April. When they opened
coffin there was nothing there. "We
need to find away out of here right
now," yelled Michael.

April and Michael made their way to an
old wooden staircase. The oak banisters
had words carved into them. Mike
looked down and saw a trail of spiders
leading them up the stairs. To the left of
them they saw a strange figure lurking in
a room. "What is that Michael," April
whispered. "I don't know lets get out of
here." Michael and April ran into
another room that was filled with old
