THE HAUNTED MANSION
by Luis Tejada (Grade 6)

One day a boy named Christian and his family moved into a mansion. They did not know that it was haunted by a man named Pfetzer who was evil and who had died there around the 1980s.

The day after moving in they all went shopping, with only the dog left behind to guard the mansion. When the family came back from shopping the dog was nowhere to be found. Only the dog’s blood was to be seen on the floor. Fearing the worst, the family called the cops. But the cops did not find evidence of who had killed the dog.

The next morning when the family woke up, they saw blood all over the walls. A message was written in red letters. “I’m going to kill you all”, it said. They once again called the cops, but when the cops got to the mansion the blood and the writing were all gone.

That night when they went to sleep the family heard frightful screams. Terrified, they tried to get out of the house but the doors were locked. Then knives started flying around. Christian was so scared that he tried to run away but one of the knives went through him and he slumped, all bloody, onto the floor. The knives followed all the other members too, and killed them all.

To this day no one has gathered enough courage to go into that mansion again.
