The Abandoned House

Misba, St James CE Rusholme

Once there were two little girls. They lived in the countryside and their names were Emma and Ella. They lived next to the forest and no one would dare to enter the forest because the forest belonged to ghosts. But the girls did not know the forest belonged to ghosts.

Emma and Ella go off to discover the forest.

So one day the two girls stepped into the forest and there was a big black house. When they went into the house they thought it was clean and when they opened the kitchen door they saw lots of spiders and shut the door quickly. They opened the window so that the spiders could get out.

Lots and lots of spiders.

They went upstairs and opened the door but someone quickly shut the door and ghosts threw bricks at them. They were bleeding, so they ran home as quickly as they could because the ghosts scared them away.

The girls were scared by ghosts in the house.

When they were home they found a big bar of chocolate and they started eating it. They hid under the bed and said they were not going back to the haunted house again.
