The Haunted House

The low slung roofed old witchy house on the dead-end of the deserted street that had chipped off its gray paint; squinting, shuttered windows and the empty porch rocker that rocked, rocked, rocked day and night scared everyone who passed nearby. 

The door of this house was latched with an antic king-sized metallic lock. This house was suspected by three detectives, while they were sauntering near the edge of the city one fine morning. Three experts, Damian, Daniel, and Iris Green were not only siblings but renowned detectives of the city. Iris said, “This is a weird house.” “And a mysterious one,” added Damian. Daniel also agreed. But, the three somehow decided to return.

Later, in the evening, they found Mr. Jason Smith, their neighbor. He was around 55 years old. He knew everything about the city. He was short-tempered and used to laugh rarely. He also had a big scar on his left wrist. Daniel inquired, “Mr. Smith, do you know anything about the abandoned house at the edge of this city?” “I don’t know much about it and I don’t care if ghosts, spirits, aliens, or monsters live in that house as heard from my great-grandfather. Don’t go in that witchy house, unless you want to end yourselves,” snuffed Mr. Jason Smith and rushed into his home. 

Damian, Iris, and Daniel wanted to end the curiosity of this haunted house and decided to go into that house. That night, at midnight, they all gathered in the backyard of their house. “Are you ready for this case,” asked Daniel. “Yes we are,” whispered all of them. They quickly and quietly ran towards the haunted house. There they saw the door wide open instead of being closed like what they saw in the morning. They looked around the haunted house and found a sign saying “Be cautious! Danger ahead!” They further moved inside the house. There was silence and darkness everywhere. No sound coming, only the “Whooshes” of the wind. Suddenly, a loud scream, “Aaaahhhh!” came followed by ghosts, spirits floating in the air. Aliens creeping and monsters bursting around from anywhere. They really looked scary. Then, in a flash, Daniel disappeared. Iris found a rod lying on the floor. 

She threw the hard, rough, and rusty rod at an alien who was very close to Damian. It fell, he touched it and realized it was a drone. “These are drones! Find something hard to hit them,'' yelled Iris to Damian. Soon they destroyed all the drones. Damian and Iris went ahead to find Iris and Daniel. They saw two doors at the corner. They went into the first one and the room was vacant. Damian told Iris. “Iris, listen, you go out of this house and call the police while I will find Daniel.” “Ok, bro. I will be back in five minutes,” Iris replied and ran out. Meanwhile, Damian went through the second door and found six people there, including Daniel. He was tied with a rope. 

Then Damian recognized a person who had covered his face with a scarf, wearing a black long overcoat, and had a big scar on his left wrist. He was Mr. Jason Smith. Damian ran and five people followed him, they came out of the house. Then Damian saw the police and told them the whole story. Mr. Jason Smith was caught with his fellow men. He revealed that he was involved in smuggling and manufacturing of narcotics, drugs, and other such restricted products in that lonely house. Damian and Iris ran inside to free Daniel and Iris from the rope. Finally, the three disclosed the truth about Mr. Jason Smith and the haunted house. Later, the haunted house was demolished and a garden and a play park were built.
