The Haunted House

The old house stood on a hill, its windows dark and its doors boarded up. It had been empty for years, and no one dared to go near it. It was said to be haunted by the ghost of its former owner, a man who had died a mysterious death.

One night, a group of teenagers decided to explore the house. They had heard the stories, but they didn't believe them. They thought it would be fun to spend a night in the house and see if anything happened.

The teenagers arrived at the house late at night. They went inside and turned on the lights. The house was dark and dusty, but it didn't seem haunted. The teenagers started to explore the house, looking for anything interesting.

They found a few old furniture, some books, and some pictures. They also found a room that was locked. The teenagers tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside. They decided to come back to the room later.

The teenagers spent the rest of the night exploring the house. They didn't see anything strange, and they didn't hear anything. They were starting to think that the stories about the house were just that, stories.

Late at night, the teenagers decided to go to bed. They found a room with a few beds and they all went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the teenagers were woken up by a noise. They all sat up in bed and listened. They could hear footsteps coming from the hallway.

The teenagers were scared. They didn't know what to do. They sat in bed, holding their breath, listening to the footsteps.

The footsteps stopped outside of the room. The teenagers could hear someone breathing.

The door to the room slowly opened. The teenagers could see a figure standing in the doorway. The figure was tall and thin, and it was wearing a black cloak.

The figure took a step into the room. The teenagers could see its face. It was the face of the man who had died in the house.

The man's eyes were open, and they were glowing red. He was smiling, and his teeth were sharp.

The teenagers screamed and ran out of the room. They ran down the hallway, and they out of the house.

The teenagers ran and ran until they couldn't run anymore. They stopped and looked back at the house. The house was dark and silent.

The teenagers never went back to the house. They knew that the house was haunted, and they didn't want to see the ghost again.
