I knew this day would come would have to move to a new house with my mom that I didn't want to move to, and i'm going to have to start all over find new friends go to a new school.

I was moving to this new house it looked a little old but i knew that that's all that my mom could afford at this point and she was going through a rough time, so had to just deal with it and get over the fact that I would live in a old house.

When I was moving stuff into my new room I realized that there was some weird stuff in my room cracked light, broken door, and spider webs all over the walls, I knew later that I would have to go back and fix everything I also noticed that all of the other rooms were like that and it kind of made me scared to live there …show more content…
This would be the first time we would stay overnight today. I was scared because the house is really scary. That night I could not go to sleep there was so many weird noise going on and i couldn't sleep because of it. At one point I think I heard a cabinet door or a door close and shut at one point that's what really got me scared, but I know everything would be okay in the end I thought to myself maybe i'm just hearing stuff that are not actually there. The next morning, my brother and my mom were downstairs talking about the weird things they were hearing last night my mom even said she woke up with a cut on her arm she thought maybe she did something that caused it but I thought that it was a ghost that cut her.

We were all getting a little suspicious of what's going on at this new house. I wish we didn't move to this house because it is really scary. My mom was already talking about moving or just leaving and move to a apartment because it was so scary. I would rather stay in a apartment than live in the house we are
