Horror Story by Linda Mellor


Horror Story
Halloween is always my favourite time of year. I love the way people decorate their houses with pumpkins and decorations that are supposed to scare us but once you pass the age of 10 you realise just how un-scary everything is. My mum is the kind of person to go all out on festive occasions so our house is always covered with decorations. But that’s not why I am writing my story, I’m writing this story to tell everyone of the Halloween horror I had last year. My name is Anna I was fifteen this time last year. It was about two days before Halloween and me and my friends decided we wanted to actually do something interesting for Halloween this year. We said we could have a party but no-one was in the mood to have a party so that wasn’t an option, I said I would rather not go out then walk around the streets trick or treating and probably ending up bumping into my parents! Just as we thought we had ruled out everything that was possible to do, my friend Patrick told us about this house it was huge 4 stories and 50 rooms, he told us how his dad had told him about it, apparently a family lived there around 60 years ago and out of nowhere they disappeared and they haven’t been seen since! He also mentioned how the house has had no-one step inside for years and that it’s all by itself in the middle off a huge field. I was the first to say it but I knew everyone else was thinking it ‘Let’s go’, everyone was silent for a moment but it wasn’t long before everyone was agreeing it would be the best Halloween ever if we went to it! So that was that we were going to this house, there was about  15 of us, I was so excited a few of my friends were sort of nervous, one because they didn’t know what to say to their parents but also because this house sounded completely haunted.
It was the evening of Halloween, we all met at the bus stop that was going to take us up the mountain and then we would have about a 10 minute walk to the house, I had said everyone could stay in mine apart from the boys of course. My mum never really asked where I was going so I wasn’t worried about what to tell her, when we got off the bus it had gotten pretty dark it was about 8 oclock now so it was almost pitch black, we had all dressed up if I had to give someone best costume I would of given it to myself as I was a banana. It took us what felt like the guts of 2 hours to find the house but once you saw it, well lets just say it wasn’t hard to miss! We all stood there for a few minutes in complete astonishment eventually I started to walk towards it if I’m being honest I knew by the look of the place it wasn’t a good idea to go in, it was huge I’d never seen anything like it, the grass all around it had grown so long it was up to my hips, it was pitch black the windows had been covered with wood, it was like one of the houses out of a horror movie. Although I wasn’t that scared because I was with so many people but that all changed when we got inside. It was empty not a piece of furniture in sight we had bought loads of candles and blankets to sit on we set up in what looked like the dining room we were all sitting around with candles lit, we were only there a short while before I heard a noise it came from upstairs it was if someone was walking around, I didn’t mention it to anyone until I heard it again then I jumped up and told everyone they all laughed and said I was being dramatic but then they all heard it this time it was louder it was right above us, we decided to go check it out as we were walking up the stairs we heard a door shut, now I was really starting to get scared and at that point we were all running for the front door but when we got there we couldn’t open it someone had locked it and it wasn’t any of us! We started to shout ‘is anybody there?’ we got no replies so that was it Patrick decided he was going to man up and go upstairs and see what was going on Luke said he would go with him, we were all waiting downstairs as they went upstairs, 10 minutes past and that’s when we started to get worried we started shouting for them but we got no replies we all ran up the stairs to try find them and couldn’t see anyone in sight I ran into a room and just as I was turning around to leave the door slammed shut it was pitch black I couldn’t see a thing I started screaming and before I new it someone had grabbed me it was Patrick! And all he said to me was ‘I cant believe you fell for this’
