The Haunted House
Every kid has a tale to tell about the haunted house across the street. I'm one of those kids. As a kid, passing by the so-called haunted house was like a test of courage. The tiny strands of hair in my back stood as the eerie silence fill the atmosphere. My legs started to shake and I tried my hardest not to shut my eyes. I remembered the stories they tell me about this house. Some say that a maiden in white is usually seen sitting by the swing (it's covered by the bushes) with a melancholic look in her face. Some say that they hear piano music coming from inside the deserted house. Although I've never come face to face with the maiden or hear the piano music, thinking about it scared me half to death. Those tales were enough to drain the colour from my cheeks when I pass by the old deserted house. Now that I'm old enough to know better, passing by the old house isn't much of a problem. If a girl in white shows up by the swing... then so be it. I'd probably think of it as the manifestation of my childhood fear. Anyway... childhood memories are sweet. No matter how spooky they may be.

Sounds like a lovely place to live.
That's a cool story and a great photo! You've been linked.
intersting story.
@Dare2BDiferentt - Would've been better if there was a deserted graveyard in the neighborhood XD
@saintvi - Thank you very much. :D
@embrown88 - Thanks. :)
Would have scared the poo out of me as a kid...now I would kind of welcome it ...if I wasn't captive or they weren't dangerous, ha. I did say kind of!
I hope my son has a haunted house memory when he gets older or I hope he enjoys living in the neigborhood haunted house b/c that was my childhood dream.
@lupus_lady - :) Then let's hope you don't come across with poltergeists if you ever come across a haunted house in the future. :)
@Erika_Steele - Haunted house memories are always fun. Hope he has a great memory of one. :)
When I was a child I pretended that I could talk to ghosts and that they were residents of my home. :)
@sir_spamalot - Scary stuff is always cooler when one's a kid. The magic tends to disappear as one grows older. That's a cool childhood memory. Kinda' like that kid from the 6th Sense. :D
yeah.... nice entry by the way
