Haunted House Descriptive Writing

1.One cool Halloween night, two kids were exploring down a foggy dirt road. Not looking for anything in particular just being nosey and wanted to know more about this "haunted house". It lays beyond the two tallest pines trees, but still has never been seen.. When the two kids reached the two tallest pine trees they saw nothing, until a little girl with two perfectly curled blonde pig tails approached them and grabbed the two kids hands. They were never seen again but they saw everything, and got the house they wanted to explore.

2. It was a hot but breezy day on Wilmington beach in North Carolina, with my toes in the sand just sitting in the warm silk sand. I'm watching the deep greenish blue waves form and come crashing down, while kids squish sand between their toes and those carts with the Italian ice are pushing through the crowd. This lifestyle was different than just dirt roads and tractors. that is what I called home where everybody knew your first name, but I always wanted to get out of the small town. Just before I left my dad gave me a necklace that was in the shape of a heart and it said on the back, find your happy place. That was where the sand meets the water.

Going to Wal-mart in town at about 5 o'clock is impossible. Everybody is just getting out of work so the traffic is horrible already. To make it worse everybody wants to pick up dinner before they go home, and Wal-mart doesn't have the best employees. Trying to find a line that doesn't have people with carts full of groceries that have already been waiting for 15 minutes isn't going to happen. Wal-mart is a chaotic place to be when you have all those people in one place trying to get in get there stuff and get

    When I worked there, I had several friends who were cashiers with me; we would have little, informal competitions to see who could get the fastest scan-time. Not only do they not take pride in getting customers out in a timely manner, it seems that very few of them are friendly. They barely acknowledge their customers. 4. Some factors about the culture of the Wal-Mart corporation that detract from effectiveness are that, instead of being a family-owned business, like it was when it was started, it is now run by a board of directors who seem to be only interested in making money.…

    There are many differences between the book The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson and the 1999 film, The Haunting, directed by Jan de Bont. The main characters in the film are, Lili Taylor as the timid Eleanor Vance, Catherine Zeta-Jones as the beautiful, frisky Theodora, Owen Wilson as the deceiving Luke Sanderson, and last but not least, Liam Neeson as Dr. Marrow (Montague in the book). Many argue that this movie barely follows with the book at all. Lisa Schwarzbaum, writer for Entertainment Weekly believes that the movie is just awful. Roger Ebert, writer for the Chicago Tribune believes “The story is a mess,” but also states: “To my surprise I find myself recommending ‘The Haunting.’”…

    The shopping crowd of this Walmart is different than other Walmarts. They are noticeably older. I am sure it is because all the snowbirds are still living in town and have yet to be replaced with vacationing families and college students. The store is really clean and well stocked. They really do need to put more cashiers on the front lines.…

    Nelly watched, crouched behind a shelf containing large bags of flour in the corner of the shed, as Noyes' softened stature began to grow hardened and confused. The sheriff blocked the door but he did not draw his weapon. For a moment Nelly thought Noyes would try to run, after all he was being accused of being a convict, however he made no movement at all. His eyes darted from the sheriff to the shelf and then back to the sheriff. It dawned on Nelly that her hidden identity had been discovered, and she feared that Noyes would give her away.…

    For two weeks, I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina. I didn’t know much about the place, except that I referred to it as an army town because that’s where my sister and her husband, who was in the military, stayed. I was reluctant to go, but Charleston had a lot to offer me; a new change of pace and some new scenery was much more satisfying than spending the two weeks stuck in Iowa doing the same old routine. The weather was mystical in Charleston.…

    The traces in my mind of my life in Tennessee escaped my thoughts as the salt water breeze took them away. The blankets of snow, that I once knew, turned into white grains of sand that coated the steps of every shop and the bright green blades of grass were now blue curves of water that left me in a trance with every movement. Each house by the shore was painted a different bright color and was home to a collection of beach related trinkets, including broken shells, used as decor, and sand filled jars which were left by past visitors. A hammock was hung on the top story which became my safe haven of fresh air and solitude. Each morning I swung to the slow, crashing of the waves as the sun began to rise.…
