The Haunted House

A detailed Summary of The Haunted House


It was a hot, sticky July evening and the day that John moved into what was said to be a old haunted house. It all started one night when he was watching TV and he heard something. It seemed as if the noise was coming from the basement down the hall. John wasn't worried. He picked up a maglite from off of the kitchen counter and walked toward the basement door. He opened the door slowly hoping that the noise he heard was a heater vent and not a ghost. He didn't see much so he figured that it was in his best interest to look around and find out if the house was actually haunted and that it wasn't his friends messing with him.

A light flashed...then suddenly every thing disappeared. John was freaking out, he didn't know what to do so he went to his friend Joe's house. He explained to Joe that his house was haunted yet Joe didn't believe him.

"Because you said it was haunted!" Joe replied

"Wait....I thought you said you didn't believe me?!" John inquired

"Well, I changed my mind, said Joe, Hey, where is my mom?"

The two boys looked all over and still they couldn't find Joe's Mom. They were beginning to get worried when they


"Oh, I see how it is. The guy with the brain gets to die first, I don't like that idea, how about we both get out and look." Said Joe.

"Do you know what you are doing, neither of us have our license and..." John said.

Finally the squad car turned down their road and was heading straight for the two boys. They were expecting to see a police officer driving the car but to their surprise it wasn't a police officer, it was another ghost driving the squad car. Joe ripped the door of the car open and kicked the ghost in the forehead knocking him out the passenger side window.

"Get in or stay here with a half unconcious ghost, what's your decision?" asked Joe.

"I do, we must be caught on something." said Joe.
