On a cold, windy afternoon my friends and I decided to go to an abandon house and just explore what is inside. As we enter we are very amused on how old this house was. Spider webs on the ceiling, dusty old furniture, and the only thing bright inside the house was a candle. Walking in I get goosebumps and I am holding on to my best friend Katie. She is a fearful person who does not like being scared. As we were walking we hear a whisper saying get out. I am getting very scared and as I was turning around to leave the candle turns off. It is pitch black and I could not find Katie. Until I heard a loud scream which was Katie, then the lights come on and I see my friend Greg laughing he tried scaring Katie. She was very mad. She said “You will pay for this.” Greg just stood their laughing.
It was starting to get dark and we are just wandering around and once again the lights turn off. I told Greg to turn them back on he said he did not do it. I was very confused so I ask my other friends they also said they did not do it. The only light I saw was the lighting and wind swooshing and moving the trees. I was trying to find Katie but I could not see her. I was walking with Greg to find Katie because I was scared of not finding her. As we walk up the stairs we hear a deep voice saying “why did you do that”. We are shaking and we felt the walls closing in on us so we just keep going up stairs. As we were making our way to the top Greg falls and goes back down stairs. I saw a hand pulling his leg and I quickly run back down then I see the light switch I run towards it and the lights finally come on. I see Greg’s head going out the window he was getting pushed by Katie. I was shocked, I asked her why she would scare us and it was all Greg’s fault for scaring her knowing how fearful she is. At the end Greg finally learned his lesson.
