The Haunted House 

Everyone says that the old house at the end of the road is haunted. It used to be the residence of a rich family but now none of them stays there. So the house is vacant and uncared and the compound is filled with over-grown weed and grass.

One evening, me and my friend Varun bravely entered the house and prepared to spend the night there. We brought along a powerful torchlight, two sleeping-bags, some food, drinks, and a portable stereo set. We sat on our sleeping-bags and listened to our favorite music. The darkness was oppressive and there was a strange soft whining noise coming from upstairs.

We were scared and could not dare to go up and investigate about the noise. Varun hurried out of his sleeping-bags and switched on the torchlight.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash from upstairs and the moans turned to screams. We screamed, too, and ran out of the house. The hair on the back of my head stood on end for hours afterwards. After that we never dared to go back into’ the house, net even in daytime. The next day, my uncle had to go and retrieve the things we had left behind there.
