Goast house

He had heard had bed time storeys of this house storeys that had filled him with terror storeys of tragedy and horror that made his imagination go in to a wild frenzy tales of an old man murdered by his son Charley over love ,he had be told of the son's romance with a free thinking young woman Susan this was at a time when were woman's lib was still in its early days and women were not treated fairly .Charley fell madly in love with Susan however his father Bill Winters disapproved of him dating her the two of them would row this cause a rift between them there father son bond broken .Charles father one day made an ultimatum stop dating Susan or he would throw his son out into the cold facing a bleak future in a fit of rage he murdered his father pushing him down the stairs he told his mother that his father had fell she believe him .The guilt built up in him his mother could tell what he had done eventually he killed himself .Susan who was madly in love with Charley saw his dead lifeless body dangling from the ceiling decided also to take her own life ,these fasintaed him endlesly .So one stormy night he snuck out to go explore things were not going to well the death trap that was the house seamed empty .All he could do was wait uptill the storm quietened down .
The wind howled throwing anything that wasn't bolted down away, rain poured down drenching anyone unfortunate to be outside lightning crashed and the thunder roared like a might lion on the prowl .The house had been left for so long a once nice home had become a dank rodent infested hole the rain leek through the roof hitting him on the head with a splash he fell back his torched slipped from his hand the light gone out he was alone in the dark .His imagination got the better of him the eire silence filled the room he strained to hear the hidden sound their was nothing to hear the lightning crashed illuminating the sky outside a mysterys figure illuminated in the dark or was it .Stood motionless its face hidden in the dark staring right at him the lighting came again he saw more it was a robbed figure he scrambled around for his torch fumbling around the dust old wooden floor .
After stumbling around in the dark he found his torch thumbing the switch the light came on he shone it at the spot the cloaked figure was just a coat hung up on an old fashioned coat hanger he sighted with relief this room was empty no sight of ghostly activity he had checked all of the rooms this was the last one with a groan he walked toward the door it was half open it began to move creaking its old hinges rusted and decayed it slammed shut hard shaking the dust a low moaning noise was heard rising lights flashed outside in the hall way a rattling noises stomping on the stair case he could fell his heart beat faster faster cold sweats he scrambled for the door it wasn't locked but something was stopping him from getting out he pulled with all his strength he cried out the door stayed put he fell back ward the door creaked open standing in front of him a pale figure she stood hovering a vacant expression looking right through him as though he went there
"Hello?"
he said stuttering no response the woman began to laugh wickedly she looked down at him fixed him on her sights
"Beware stranger beware"
she said she moved for him he cowered she passed right thouing him disappearing into the next room he ran out to the stair case the bottom was blocked by a wall of bricks he panicked the wall was getting closer he ran back up the stairs into another room this room seamed safe he sat down on the floor think what to do next sweat poring from his forced out breath out of luck something hit him from behind something small the light came on for an instant he saw it the objets defying gravity the flew viciously all aimed at him he ran into the hall he fell through a gap in the floor boards he fell down hard to the ground floor the kitchen a man stood looking around he turned to face him
"Bloody hell what are you doing here"
he said startled by his appearance
"are you ok don't you know its not safe here "
