Narrative Essay On Gnomes

Improved Essays
my hubby and I collect miniature Garden gnomes and have them at various spots throughout the house. a few weeks ago My family and I left for vacation, and when we retuned the gnomes had all completely changed places. DH was last to leave the house and first to enter it when we got back, and im sure it wasnt him.
Some of the gnomes have been glued into place in their new position. At first we were freaked out and thought someone had broken in, but nothing was stolen and there were no signs of forced entry.

Two days later, the story became stranger. In our living room, we have several toy blocks with letters on them arranged on our shelf. DH and I sleep right next to the living room, and my DH is a very light sleeper, so no one could have

However that was not the end.

The next morning, our two year old son ran into our room (before DH and I got up) and said "mommy there's a man making strange noises in the kitchen." DH and I ran into the kitchen but found no one.

Our son repeated the sentence two more times, and then pointed onto the back porch and said "there's the man." However there was no one there.
Ds can give a very vivid description of the man, and reproduce a strange grunting sound that the man supposedly made.
Additionally, our dog has begun behaving very strangely, and often refuses to go into particular rooms of the house, and on occasion attempts to climb into my bed at night. He had never done this before the past two weeks.

yesterday, my DH and I were not at home, and my 15 and 13 year old sons were at home with our two year old. My 15 year old was in his room when he heard a deep male voice coming from the opposite room. He immediately ran downstairs to his siblings and locked them in our bedroom before (stupidly) returning upstairs to look for the intruder. He heard more voices, but could not find anyone physically

It reeked of stale air and rot and MacBride’s sour cologne.” Several of the men felt a cold whoosh of air pass by them as they came face-to- face with a bluish-gray ghost, whose wispy edges warped and coiled into a man-shaped shimmer of mist. After the incident, the shaken men immediately telephoned the police.…

Circling, through the time of malevolence and gangs at Senya:the city, mostly populated by people that weren’t as well off;had food stamps;had heart disease;had problems.
