The creepy, haunted house on the hill - an excerpt

story · By F, Age 7-9

"Once upon a time, there was a house on a hill, and it was very, very creepy and haunted. So there were ghosts, and the ghosts were evil. Every night smashing glass is heard! Who knows what is in that miserable, dark and spooky haunted house!

One terrible, stormy night of silence, something was moving. One brave, brave person - no-one ever dared before - but that one person was brave enough to creep in..."

Midnight at the Haunted House

poem · By E, Age 9-11

"Crooked walls, haunted halls, creaking doors and broken souls,
piercing screams,see through beings,
dancing in the moonlight

Crumbling towers,carnage flowers, silence as the night devours,
grimy glass, china cracked,
How could anyone live there"
