The Haunted

In the haunted genera there are common characteristics that every book or film upholds which qualify them as haunted.

The house that was next to my house was a tarnished old house, which has been there before I was even born. The house had a giant garden that had many wilted plants that were surrounding the house. There are lots of rumors around the town that the house is haunted as, around midnight there is always a shriek with the lights flickering on the top floor and, that has always been a mystery. Nobody has ever lived or went into the house except for one woman who had lived and died there years ago.…
