A TERRIFYING NIGHT
I’ll always remember the day I visited the old house by the sea. It was a dark windy day, long time ago. I remember I went there with a friend of mine.
We saw the house as we were on a walk by the coast. At first we weren’t going to enter the house, because it looked as if it was haunted, but then we decided to go in.
The hall of the house was full of dust. It was a 19th century house, so all the furniture was from that years’ style. We walk through all the rooms, but we didn’t find anything interesting. Suddenly, when we were going to leave, a huge mirror in the main room claimed our attention.
We went next to the mirror and we stared at it for a while. But, some minutes ago, a man appeared in the mirror, between my friend and I. As soon as we saw him, we screamed with horror and started to run to reach the door –with the man following us-. We went outside the house and we run, and run, and finally we reached the forest beside the house. We paid attention, and we could hear a strange, deep laugh coming from the house. Then, silence.
Nowadays we cannot explain what exactly happened that day. But, despite the fact that it happened lots of years ago, I still have nightmares, where the man of the house comes and follows me, laughing as I run out of him.
