When we got to the mansion we searched every floor and every room except the basement floor.  When we opened the basement door it creaked loudly.  We slowly walked down the stairs.  Down stairs we saw a flickering light.  We opened the door and walked in there was a little boy about age five dancing around. The noise was a broken record player he was listening to.  My friend Mike told him that his uncle owns a music shop and that he could get a new record player there.

      And that’s the real deal of the “Haunted House”.

     We searched the whole house. And when we got to the room it was an old man named Old Man Jenkins trying to sing a song! It was so loud and horrible we had to yell to get his attention! When he noticed us he said, “What are you doing in my house”!? We said we were trying to find where the weird noises were, and now we know. So we all went with Old Man Jenkins to Little Caesars for an extra, extra, extra large cheese pizza.

     When we got to the mansion the noise got louder and louder. We went in every room and then we came to the last room. We opened the door and we saw 5 kittens and a cat.

    As we entered the house the noises got louder. I turned down a dimly lit hallway and noticed all of the huge rooms. These people must have been pretty rich. Suddenly I heard a noise upstairs. I wanted to run out the door, but forced myself to go upstairs towards the noise.  When I got upstairs I found a movie crew making noises for their new horror flick. This house put us in the mood they said. We were so relieved we almost died laughing. Never again did we think the house was scary.

    So all the kids went there to see what the noises were, and where they were coming from.  They knocked on the door and nobody answered.  Then they heard a noise coming toward them, it was a moaning, groaning sound. They heard the noise coming closer and closer then finally it stopped.  There was silence all around and the kids took off before it could get them. They went back the next day to see if the it was still there, when they rang the door bell (DING DOOOONNNGG) Then it answered the door, it was a old woman and there were two dogs in there. The kids found out that the noises were from the dogs because they were sick.

    As we approached the house the moans and groans grew louder with every step, I went down the creaky hall and a dim light appeared in the doorway and we slowly turned the knob to discover an old woman sitting in her squeaky rocking chair with an old record player beside her and cheese fries in her lap. She explained that the music kept her company, and we visited her everyday after that and from now no one was every scared of the house again.

    We walked up to the spooky house and smelled an old and moldy smell, but suddenly I went through the floorboards and to my amazement I saw a secret hidden layer filled with skulls and bodies. A monster came out of the darkness and reached to grab me, but he missed. There was nowhere to go, so I pleaded with the monster, but I realized that the monsters face was pealing off.  I screamed, “You aren't really a monster!”  And grabbed his face, and off came a mask. It was my best friend. I had told him that I was going to the mansion after school. As for the bones they were all fake, plastic. But I suddenly realized what about the noises I've heard before, suddenly the door slammed. The house began to sink into the ground and my friend's laughter suddenly came to a halt. We were never seen again on that faithful day.

    When we went inside and found a body on the ground and another body lying on the ground, but this person was alive. They tried to talk to the groaning body about what had happened. They body moaned "IT WAS THE GHOST". They heard a noise upstairs, so they slowly climbed the stairs.  They opened a door, and then they saw the ghost.  The ghost was a little girl. They asked her what her name was. She said she was a girl who lived in the house all her life after someone murdered her parents.  Now, she was waiting for her parents' murderer to come back to the house so she could him. The people downstairs were her parent's murderers. They told her that they were and their bodies were on the first floor. She told them that now she could rest peacefully in her grave, and that's exactly what she did.

    Well see that freaky sound at the beginning was really nothing at all! It was the little dwarves who lived in a communities hiding in that house because they were afraid of all of us. I mean we are kind of huge! Well! That's about it and the dwarves because friends with little Johnny and his friends! The end!

    When we entered the mansion, the noises got louder and louder as we walked further into the house. We entered a small room at the back of the house and in the corner there was a family of friendly ghosts! We were all very scared but we asked what was wrong. They said that their youngest ghost daughter had died and they we very sad. We talked to them about losing a family member and they felt better. We left the mansion feeling happy because we solved the mystery and helped someone. Or something.

    We walked inside the mansion, and we saw a big stereo blasting out ghostly sounds. We heard two kids laughing. We looked inside the closet, and saw the 2 bullies Amanda, and Jimmy!! 1 They had done it!

    When they went into the house they saw a . . . Dying Giraffe! “Nyuuu Nyuuu,” it said. “Oh my gosh!” I said and we ran away.

    So my friends and I went into the house. We heard strange and spooky noises. My friends were scared, but I was brave. We walked up the creaky old stairs.... when suddenly a loud noise was heard. "Let's go check it out, " said one of my friends. We walked upstairs and then suddenly a big black cat jumped out of  who knows where. The cat hissed as if it knew something. We followed the cat up the stairs and into a creepy room. We where there for a while. Then suddenly...BOOM. Two days later...A headline in the weekly newspaper...Monday, April 2, 2000, two boys are lost and have never been found!

    We finally got enough courage to go in. As we walked in we noticed there were awful lot of monkeys inside, then we saw the sign "Dexter and the man-eating monkeys!" And then we realized they were EVIL MONKEYS!!! Then the suddenly their nemesis the EVIL LEPRECHAUNS (English accent) came and saved the day!! Dundadaduh!

    My friends and I slowly walked through the door and walked into the house. We all started to walk around the huge house to see if we could find out which room the noise was coming from.  As we were walking the noise kept getting louder and louder. We approached a door with a green light shining underneath the door. We slowly entered the room. It was like a jungle, and there were monkeys everywhere. That was what all the noise was. My friends and I were all kind of disappointed it wasn't anything more. But it was kind of weird to find a jungle in 1 room of a mansion!

    We went up to the attic to see what all of the commotion was. Then we saw two very old people.  But there was a trick to it. They were ghosts waiting to murder us! They had knives with red junk on it. We were all wondering who had just been murdered before it. Then I noticed it was just my Uncle Joe and Uncle Smo having pizza. The only thing good about that day was that they left us two cold and soggy anchovy pizzas.

    When my friends & I went into the house we heard loud noises and a whistling that didn't even compare to the slight sounds heard from the street. After investigating every room we headed up the creaky steps to the attic. I white figure came rushing towards us, then retreated back to the wall. When I finally worked up enough courage to investigate even further I discovered that there was a broken window and the white  "figure" was just the curtain. The wind had created the whistling and the loud thumps were only old furniture getting knocked down the attic stairs. We had solved the mystery of the Haunted House!!!

    As we approached the haunted house, we decided it would be a good idea not to make any noise.  So carefully we all scurried like ballerinas on their tiptoes to the house. Eugene, the scaredy cat of the group decided he would stay across the street and "keep an eye out". "Oh well," I thought. "I'm going to be the brave one!" So as when we approached the screeching front door, all of a sudden a bright light approached my face!"  "Surprise!” the people in the room shouted. It turns out it was my surprise 12th birthday!

    We heard the police come into the house and we started yelling.  They quickly found us and told us that the two young men were kidnappers and they were using the strange sounds to lure children to the house.

    After fifteen minutes of investigation, we found thirteen other neighborhood kids who were being held hostage.  The kidnappers were sentenced to twenty years in prison and the children learned never to go into old houses again.

The boy and his friends went to the mansion. They searched every room until the boy discovered a trapdoor that turned if you applied pressure to the lower left corner of the creaky floorboard. They went in and discovered an old air organ that had a tiny but heavy pebble on each key. Judging by how everything was setup, the boy suspected that the overtaxed organ would have stopped working properly within hours. The kids sure wouldn't go back empty handed!!
