A haunting by skye ballesteros
One Night my mom and I went out, as we walked out the door I closed the curtains.....As I walked out I happened to glance at the window, but as I took that little glance I noticed something odd. The last window that I closed was open. While I stared, I saw mist appear on the window. Almost as if someone was breathing agents it. I started thinking negative thoughts, but then again it was could it could have been the winds pressing agents the window which caused the mist, so I laughed it off and continued my day, but when me and my mom came back home the door was open! Everything was a mess! It looked as if we had been robbed but nothing was missing. Okay, okay the mist was one thing, but this? This has gone too far. I was mad and scared at the same time, but my mom said we should just act like nothing happened, and go back to our normal lives, so that's what we did, but each night things kept on getting worse, I started hearing things down the hall, weird shapes at night, it was hard to pretend things weren't happening when that's all that was the happening. I told my mom about the night I saw aye strange figure in the night around 3:00 a.m., but she Laughed it off and said it was probably my sweaters hanging on the wall, but I don't have sweaters hanging on the wall, all my sweaters are in my closet.
The past few weeks have been full of unexplained things similar to this. I've been hearing voices, on and off stomping, almost as if people are walking towards me. It was around 3:27 a.m. that I started to hear weird things. I was going down stairs, while in back of me I heard breathing. With every step I took I kept going faster. Terrified that if I looked back... I would see something that would make me regret I didn't, as I reached the bottom of the stares I went straight into the kitchen. Looked around, and gasped as I saw a dark shadow Hop from one corner of the roof to another. While I continued to stare it stopped at the corner across from me. The only color on it was its dark red eyes. His hands that griped the wall were long and sharp, almost as if each finger was a knife. I turned to see if there was any possible weapon I could use, but as I turned back to look at this thing, IT WAS GONE! I ran up the stairs quickly as possible. I turned around with each step I took just to make sure that "thing" wasn't following me. As I got to the top I ran to my mom's room. She woke up while I jumped under the covers. "What happened Skye, is everything okay?" She asked."SOMETHING IS DOWN STARES!" I said terrified. "Calm down Hun, tell me what happened," right when I was about to explain big thumbs on the floor started to shake the bed.
It sounded as if something was walking towards us, as me and my mom continued to stare out the door... IT CLOSED! I cried myself to sleep that night.
The next morning everything seemed so peaceful as if nothing had happened. My mom had told me that she was going to work early today and that I would be home alone for a few hours. So she kissed my cheek and off she went. Everything was quiet I Looked around then all of a sudden....."BOOM!" Every single cabinet in our kitchen opened! I was so terrified. I just ran up the stairs and went to my room. I waited for my mom to arrive. But, once she walked through that door I just snapped.. I fell to my knees and said, “Can we please leave? I can’t take it here no more mom I'm so scared!" Okay we will leave tonight I feel the same way. We can stay at a hotel." She replied. I was overjoyed that my mother had agreed with me.
We stood at a very nice hotel called river side, as you can see we tried to get as far away from home as possible. Once we arrived at the hotel my mom told me to take a nice warm bath so that I and she can go out to eat. And so we did. When we came back everything was fine my mom was the happiest she's been in months. But, we were also tired from those sleepless nights. So, after me and my mom came from that fantastic day we decided to go to sleep. Around 2:30 a.m. I kept getting up because I had to use the restroom, as i came out of the restroom I heard something fall so I went to pick it up. While i went through the dark hall way of the room I felt a little scared. When I reached my destination I Turned on the lights and looked around. I could not believe what I was seeing. A huge figure was standing between the sink and the Toilet. I couldn't help but scream. My Mom happened to hear me and grasped my hand while leading me to the bed.
In the morning I and my mom had left river side. We were on our way back home. I was terrified to face that house again. I kept arguing with my mom, trying to convince her to turn back. But She Said, "WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE SKYE! That is our home! We cannot let some, something take that away!" That was a fact I couldn't argue with. She was right; I took a nap because I knew we had a lot of road ahead. But, when I woke up. I was in bed! I couldn't believe it! It was all a dream.
