As a few of my friends and I were walking down the road by the Lidtke Mill, we suddenly saw a shadowy image in the window. We then went in the Mill. Walking in, we heard strange sounds, screams. All we wanted to know is if it was real or if someone was playing a cruel joke on us. When we realized that there was a fire back in 1894, we did not know if anybody was killed in the fire or not.

One glance and I knew exactly what it was, and without wasting any time I defiantly tore open the envelope.

where the sound materialized from. We recognize that there was a dilapidated, undiscovered house. It seemed the house was protruding because of its size and quality. A man wearing a white T- shirt, cerulean jeans, and a pair of cracked slippers expeditiously dashed over here. He held a baseball in his hand. I knew that I was in excessive trouble.
