HORROR TALES PRT III

THE GHOST

They arrived in the late hours on a cold December

The surroundings were spread wide

The next neighbor was who knows how far... It seemed like no one else was crazy enough to even think of living in such an area

Everyone came out exhausted it was a long drive and a very tiring day

With packing and carrying then lifting and arranging...

Exhausting just the thought of it

At least they were only four

The first step towards the front door felt even colder

Must be the weather

But where were the keys

Everyone went back to search

No keys

The guy went back to the door and searched incase he dropped them

That's when he saw it

He flashed his light at the ground then at the door

He did a double take

Another guy said to him, hey man, you found it

You were just giving us a hard time

Now come on let's get inside it's freaken cold out here

He couldn't find a word

He never touched the door knob to begin with

Maybe he was just exhausted

Yeah that might be it

No reason to panic

The rest came taking with them things for their beds everything else could wait

They all found a room they could claim for themselves

Out of the four their was one female

She took the room above

The rest took the rooms below

The lights were still off

No electricity ran through the house

She set her flashlight from her phone on

She took off the plastic out of the bed and set her bed the way she wanted it to be

She went to bed

No time for anything else

As she slept she fell into a too realistic dream

So realistic that she even had that feeling leftover

She dreamed and in it she was walking outside the house

It was dark with a low fog

She had no shoes but she didn't feel cold

Then she felt something like a crawl at her neck

Creepy she thought

She gripped the back of her neck but nothing was there

She then felt as if someone was watching her she quickly looked again

Nothing

What was going on

Then she turned back trying to get back in the house but there was no house

She ran trying to find the house

But it seemed like she was going the wrong way

She scared her arms and face from the tree limbs

She awoke with a start

Her arms stung

She gripped them tightly

As she looked she saw scratch marks along her arms and some by her neck
