On Halloween night



On Halloween night, while trick-or-treating we passed the cemetery. Suddenly we all felt a cold and spooky wind blow past the holes in my costume. I felt as if I was being watched by the spirits of the dead. I and my friends stopped to take a look at the old abandoned cemetery hoping to see a ghost. We all stared and spread rumors we heard about the spooky place. The Tom got the idea to go inside; nobody thought that this was a good idea. But the fact of we didn’t want to seem like girls made us enter to protect the name of our man hood. We all gulped down our fear and approached the gates of hell. But to our surprise it was chained up which made things allot more intense. Why would they lock the gates to an abandoned cemetery anyway I thought to myself. Then I realized that it probably is haunted by the people that had been buried here, or that it is infested with huge snakes. Little Jimmy ran the idea by that we cant get in but Tom had already hopped the fence. Awaiting us on the inside was a big open plain filled with trees and weeds all over the place. We got inside and tried to rush to get out but every time that we tried Tom would call us babies. So we stayed but didn’t know what to do so we walked around to find a place to sit. We found this huge tree that was around the middle of graveyard alone surrounded by nothing. The grass was alive as well as the tree but observing the rest of the place everything else had been dead. This really crept all of us out to the max but no one wanted to say anything about the fact that we were in a restricted area. Then after a while Tom started to tell scary stories to see who he could scare but no one broke. The Jimmy went his story came with noises and motions that made everyone laugh. He was disappointed that he was being laughed at and not making us pee our jeans. Then it was my turn, I was going to tell a story that I heard from my grandpa a long time ago. I knew that it would work because it even scared me to tell the story. So I start and not even half way through everyone is shaking and trying not to break. And then I gave them the best part and to my surprise Tom broke out screaming and started to run. We didn’t know what the big deal was but we laughed at who we thought was the alpha male run away in fear. Then we noticed that the screaming had stopped and we went to go find our friend. But no luck, so we thought that he went home but the next day he wasn’t at school which was rare for Tom. And now up to this day Tom has never been seen again, but every Halloween we go back to the cemetery and still can hear him scream.
