It was the middle of the hottest summer I’ve ever experienced, that’s when it happened. We had just moved into a new house, and I guess you could say I was not so thrilled. I had created my life back in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Then all the sudden one day I was told I had to leave it all behind.
Moving was not too catastrophic, there were a few moments here and there, but overall we made it.

Instantly I thought that if I could not get out I must find a way to learn more about what I was down here with. So I began yelling “HELLO?, HELLOOOO?”. There was no response. I was now waving my flashlight around to hopefully get even the slightest glimpse of what I had saw a few minutes ago. While I was looking for the mysterious shadow, I noticed a few things about my intimidating location. First I saw a few rusted paint buckets that were surrounded by cobweb, along with that I saw sets of old wooden shelves holding garden tools that my father would soon put in the new garage. The walls looked like something out of an old horror movie. That is when I started thinking of my family. I had no clue whether I would ever see them again.

He asked me “How are you feeling?” I replied that I was fine. Then he asked “Do you remember what happened to you?” All I could think was how could I possibly forget. I was attacked by a giant shadow! I knew if I ever said that out loud they would put me in a mental asylum, so I simply told the doctor “No.” Then he began to tell me that I had fallen down the stairs to the basement, and that my father had found me when he went to get another bucket of paint for the garage. They told me I was in bad shape when they found me, but I made a full recovery. The doctor had finished telling me that it was all just a nightmare I had while I was unconscious, and you know what. I probably would have believed that, but there was just one thing. When I went to reach for the hospital TV remote, I was missing just one

    It was a night like most others in the abandoned ghost town. All I saw was darkness and shadows creeping around every corner.

Leaves blew across the street, yet not too many because it's early in the season. Its nice to look out, seeing the smoke come out of the chimneys from the warm homes where everyone is asleep this sunday morning.

I just don’t understand how the deceased don’t bother other people.…
