My friend Daphne and I had been playing outside all day. It was starting to get dark so we started heading home when a friendly black cat came up to us. He let Daphne pick him up as he started to purr. Suddenly he bolted from Daphne's arms and ran away. We decided to chase after him.

The cat, that we had named Pluto, ran towards the creepy house on the corner of our street. We were told to stay away from that house by our parents. People said that it was abandoned and haunted by ghosts. I wanted to find the cat and I was a little curious about what I'd find inside the house.

The front door was open so we quietly entered the house. The floor creaked beneath our feet. It looked as though nobody had lived here for years. The furniture was old and dusty and there were spider webs everywhere. As we looked for the cat, I felt like we were being followed. "Daphne?" I whispered, "Are you there?" When I turned around Daphne was gone.

Guess this house was just too spooky for her. I continued to look for Pluto when I spotted him under a table. "Here kitty" I said. While I tried to coax the reluctant cat from under the table, I felt like I was being watched. I slowly turned around only to be face-to-face with a ghost. "Get out of my house. Boooooooooo!"

"OUCH!"

As he started to chase after me, the ghost tripped and fell over the table. Pluto jumped into my arms startled by the noise. The "ghost" started to moan and groan in pain. I could see a pair of legs and feet poking out from the bottom of the white sheet. That was no ghost, it was a person!

An elderly man emerged from the costume. "Are you okay?" I asked. "More embarrassed than hurt." Pluto jumped from my arms and started to nuzzle against the old man. "Is this your cat?" "No but he seems to like it here. He's the only one I'll let inside, until now." "I lived here with my sister Madeleine but she passed away a couple of year ago. I haven't left the house since."
