Our english project was writing a ghost story...well my partner started writing it and well i got to finish it. So me and beth finished it, ours is the last really indepth part. We had a blast writing it!!!!


“I’m sorry but they’re not going to fit” Mrs. Saperstien said to her daughter. “There’s really too much stuff in the car, your going to have to leave them” there were tears in the little girls eyes as she carried the 2 stuffed animals back to the home and arranged them carefully before making her way back to the car.  The family piled in and they were off at last.

Now all this really doesn’t seem to matter unless you include the minor detail of “where” the little girl arranged her animals.  You see leaving flammable material on top of a space heater is not really the best idea and most defiantly not after 5 minutes the space heater had been left on.  Our fluffy friends burst into flames and it was not long before the house was consumed by flames.

Three days later still oblivious to the lives that had burned down their house, as well as their neighbor’s house.  The Saperstien family was making their way back form their much needed vacation Mr. Saperstien was driving with Mrs. Saperstien in the passenger seat while Igby and Sookie were fighting in the back of amongst a heap of blankets and toys.  Pulling onto their street they began to notice that things were amiss well actually they just saw the police car and the caution tape in front of what was left of their house.  Hurrying from the car Mr. Saperstien made his was towards the police officer speaking to his neighbor in front of what used to be his home.  “Quiet strange that strange those two houses would burn down in such a short time” the officer was saying, “Yeah it’s been a long time since we have had a fire this big around here,”  said Mr. Smiley.  “What the HECK happened?!”  Asked Mr. Saperstien.  “They both burned down to the ground!” was the reply. “Do you have a place to stay?”

Twenty minutes later all was set, they would be staying with the neighbors in their country house.  Daring the drive Mr. Smiley explained that they had just recently inherited the home and had not done anything with it and warned them not to expect too much.  Pulling up to the house was like going back in time.  The front of the house had a huge window with tall pillars on either side.  It loomed over them like a great painting of the past.  Suddenly the van sputtered and died as it chocked on the heavy air.

As the door opened a dog shot out and ran full speed across the yard.  “NOOO Mandy!!!”  Screamed Mrs. Smiley.  Coming to the door after loading all the supplies the two men went back out to take a look at the van.  But as soon as they opened the hood a scream rang out from the house.  Running back inside the man found the other four occupants standing in the door way to the kitchen with a ghastly look on their face.  Once Mrs. Smiley came around she explained what she saw.  “It was hideous; it was a burned little teddy bear!!!”  Just then a creak came from above.  They all looked up to see a million little stuffed animal eyes like lightning bolts peering down at them, KABOOM, THUD, BANG, CRASH.  No one has ever heard from those six unfortunate who happened to step in the animal house.  But to this day you can still hear noises in the attic….
