Abandoned House

The day this tragic accident occurred has a melancholy and airy atmosphere. The day typically started with my brother and me waking up to the smash of the early morning newspaper hitting our door. We waited until it became late at night so that we could go and explore the abandoned house at the end of the street, where it was rumoured that ghosts dwelled there. We were bustling with so much energy that it looked like we would crash into the ceiling of our bungalow. We decided to use our “hyperactivity” in something productive such as reading articles on ghost-detecting and ghost-hunting, which instruments should be used during ghost-detecting and ghost-hunting, etc... 

Then with the snap of the fingers and the blink of the eyes, we heard the banging of the back door and the front door simultaneously. As we scrambled to see what caused the commotion, to our surprise and horror, we saw handprints leading from the base of the compound wall to skywards.

Fast-forward a couple of hours. We were busy slinging on a backpack containing rations, water, torches, batteries, ghost-detecting instruments,ghost-hunting instruments, etc.

We also brought along with us 2 GoPro cameras that leading paranormal investigators highly recommended in the country. The main reason for recording our exploration was that if any weird things were happening in the house where we would explore, it would be caught on camera. We could then show the recording to prove to our friends(that don’t believe in paranormal activities and ghosts) that ghosts and paranormal things are real and not just myths.

So we then entered the abandoned house, where it looked like no one had been inside the house ever since the beginning of this town. We slowly crept inside, not to withdraw any unwanted attention. The interior surroundings of the home were so dirty that it was impossible to step around without touching any of the mud. But what weirded and amazed us was that there were substantial TV screens all around the house matching the size and shape that were used during basketball matches.

 Then instantaneously, we heard the muttering of an old language that sent shivers down my spine. I screamed at my brother to activate the ghost-hunting instruments immediately. But it was not meant to be. A flutter of ghosts jumped from the railing of the second floor to the ground floor and made a compressed, dense chain around my brother and me. My brother with his ghost-hunting equipment facing one side and me with my ghost-hunting equipment facing the other side.

 Then, the chain broke open abruptly, and a man around 40-ish wearing a tuxedo came inside and snapped his fingers. With that, our backpack and ghost-hunting instruments started smoking.“There. Now that's better. Now welcome to The Live Ghosts Capture featuring our two new special guests”.With those words, spotlights started shining onto our faces, and our faces began appearing on the screens all around the house.

 Then, instantaneously the shining light started to get brighter and brighter, and then the screens went blank.
