my best friend and i have known each other since we were about 2 and we are now 15. my aunt use to live next door to this mean old lady that yelled at us if we even walked in front of her house. years passed and she passed away in that very house. awhile later my best friend moved into that house. spending the night at her house was always a lot of fun, until night time when the house would creek and i would put my head under the pillow and fall asleep slowly and scared, but after awhile i got use to the sounds. but not up till a few years ago they have really been starting to scare me again. one night everyone in her house was out for the night. as we sat in her bedroom talking and looking at magazines we heard the clanking of her kitchen silverwear doors opening and the silverwear moving around... and then the pots and pans moving. we were huddled on her bed not knowing what was going on and who was making this noise in her house at this hour of the night. a few minuets passed and slowly and softly we heard the pound of footsteps coming up the wooden stairs. the stairs were really creaky so every move you can hear... the footsteps reached the top stair and headed toward her bedroom dorr the footsteps stopped right outside of the door. we sat there scared out of our minds not knowing what to do or say. then as slowly as the footsteps came up the stairs a light cold wind hit us. seconds later every thing was gone and it was back to normal again. we sat there is utter disbelief of what just happened. not knowing what to say or do. was it the old lady that died in the house?
