Hi, this is Spooky Thunder again with another hair raising story from the haunted house that I grew up in. I hope that of you enjoy it.

Spring had finally came and my brother and I were excited about getting out of school for the summer. We had a couple of weeks before summer vacation would begin.

We were both in the living room doing homework one late afternoon. We had opened the front door and had latched the screen door to let fresh air in. He sat on the couch and I on the chair next to my father's rocking recliner. We were both quite doing our home work when suddenly something caught my attention. I looked up and my little brother was starring at something with his eyes as big as saucers. I looked in the direction that he was looking in and got the fright of my life. My dad's recliner was rocking by itself as if someone was sitting in it. I am talking about a heavy recliner rocking in full motion. The room got icy cold and deathly quite except for the rocking sound of the chair. We looked at each other and ran for the door.

We almost tore it down before finally unlatching the screen door to get out. Once outside, we started talking saying ,did you see that! Can you believe that? Both of us was scared to death and shaking from the experience that we both had just witnessed. We waited on our parents to get home from work. We had no intention of going back inside until they came home. We both agreed that the home work could wait.
