\nThe two girls sat in Lauren's car, staring at a rundown house that may have been a mansion once.

\n"My mother said it's more than a hundred years old. She said when we tour it tomorrow, I can pick out any bedroom I want. I told her, in that case, I'd pick the one I have right now." Kelly laughed bitterly.
\n
\n"Why do they want to live way out here?" asked Lauren. "It's so far from everything."
\n
\n"My father says it's quiet. Besides, he says, it's selling for practically nothing because people think it's haunted. Then he made some ridiculous joke that if I was so worried abut losing all my friends living way out here, I could make friends with the ghosts."

\n"That's it!" Lauren smiled. "Let's find a way inside and give them what they want--some dearly departed spirits."","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"7116617","body":""Can you believe my parents are serious about buying this dump?" I moaned.

\nThe smile towards me was an evil smile that let me know her mind was plotting out an evil plan. The second her mind had every detail worked out the sparkle in her eyes began to shine.
\n
\n\u201cso?\u201d I asked impatiently. \u201chow are we going to do this?\u201d
\n
\nLauren just smiled at me some more, I would do what ever it takes to not move out into this old house. I knew to change the mind of my parents it would have to be drastic but neither of us knew how far it would actually go before things started falling apart.
\n
\nLauren then busted open one of the car doors and ran towards the house, I knew I must follow her. The plan would soon be set in motion and I would get to keep my old room. I caught up to Lauren just as she was about to open the gate, for some odd unknown reason she stopped and stared at the house.
\n
\n\u201cHey Lauren, you all right?\u201d I grabbed her shoulder, she looked sick.
\n
\nLauren shook her head then looked at me, \u201cwhat\u2026 yeah.. um I\u2019m fine.\u201d
\n
\nShe didn\u2019t look fine but I took her word and opened the gate. The path up to the house seemed to watched by something. We could both feel eyes piece of skin, we were finaly to the few stairs leading to the big door. Holding onto Lauren I out reached my free hand and went to grab the door knob but before I could grasp it, it began to turn slowly. After it made its turn it wung rapidly and powerfully open to the giant house. I was freaking out, but I wanted to stay strong and brave like Lauren was. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me and I thought nothing more of it.
\nWe took our first steps into the house and the feelings left. The house was big and gorgeous, not like what I had imagined it at all. I now couldn\u2019t wait to move in, Lauren and my grasp loosened as we were both amazed at the stair case, fire place, and other great fixtures in the area we seen when first stepping into the house. We took a few more steps into the house both off us spinning around, looking up and down, and making sure to get the most of ever sight in this house. I had remembered the door was left wide open.
\n
\n\u201coh I forgot to close\u2026\u201d at that moment we looked down the hall at the door to watch the door being forcefully shut and then with a click it sounded as if the house had just locked us in. \u201cwell I guess that wind took care of that too.\u201d I laughed as good as I could since my heart was beating so hard, my body was shaking, and hands were sweaty.
\n
\n\u201cyep looks like it, well lets tour this house\u2026. See what we can do.\u201d Lauren said, she didn\u2019t seem scared at all. A sense of adventure came from this for her and it fueled her to venture into the house.","dateCreated":"1227033477","smartDate":"Nov 18, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"makaylam","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/makaylam","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1219681314\/makaylam-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"7159167","body":"I was still a little worried but I went along with it. We walked on down the hall and came up to a door to our right. I grabbed for it to open it. As my hand was on the knob and I was turning it. We both heard a click. I tried to turn the door knob again and it was locked. \u201cThe last people who lived here must have locked it\u2026and it just didn\u2019t lock till now. Lets keep moving.\u201d Lauren said.
\n
\nI was starting to wonder if the house was really haunted. I stood there for a second and thought about it. Nah\u2026Laurens right there is nothing to be scared of. We came up to another room but this one was not locked. We walked in, the room was dark and there were spider webs everywhere. The floor creaked under our feet with every step. We came up to a piece of furniture that was under a bed sheet. We lifted the sheet up to see what was under it. It was the most beautiful desk that I had ever seen. The detail in the legs and on everything it was just so pretty.
\n
\nWe kept on exploring the room, the more that we looked in it the more I fell in love with it. \u201cLet\u2019s go to an other room and see what\u2019s in them,\u201d said Lauren. So we came to the last room down here and when we came up to the door and\u2026","dateCreated":"1227118381","smartDate":"Nov 19, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"rbn7566","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/rbn7566","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1231262469\/rbn7566-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"7203385","body":"Once again the door opened up by its self again!! I was getting a little freaked out at this point. There seemed like there was one hundred doors in this house. Every room in the house had furniture in it still, really beautiful antic furniture. After we went through eight rooms and every time some thing opened and shut the door we were getting really created out. We were leaving the ninth room and I walk out the door and I fell threw the floor and landed in the basement. Lauren was right be hind me falling to the basement. We both looked up and there was no hole in the floor. It was a trap door, it had to be? At this point I was shacking and ready to leave the house. We were getting really created out. So we got up off the floor and tried to find the door but we couldn\u2019t find a door.
\n
\nThen we hurt some one say,\u201dHey do you need help\u201d we screamed and then some thing touched us. We looked at each other and then looked behind us. There was a dark figure coming at us and we took a deep breathe. While the figure kept coming at us then the lights turned on so we could see the person and the way out.
\n
\nThe person was my kid brother that had been at his friend house the whole week. We have no idea how he got in the house, but then mom and dad come in the basement door. So that whole time my stupid little brother was messing with us. Two weeks later we all were moving in to the house. We lived there for about a month and there was still doors that would be locked at different times.","dateCreated":"1227207740","smartDate":"Nov 20, 2008","userCreated":{"username":"kalliefees","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/kalliefees","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1266346945\/kalliefees-lg.jpg"}}],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
