My Frightening Experience with my First Haunted House When I was younger I couldn’t imagine going to a haunted house with my Uncle Jon, Aunt Sam, and my four cousins Khristian, Jazmine, Felicity, and Lizzie who seem to not be afraid of anything when you were eight years old. I can because it happened to me. It seemed like I was the only one nervous on the drive up to the terrifying haunted house. As we got closer and I could tell this was going to be an eventful night. On October 27th, 2011 I went to a haunted house, the outside didn’t look that scary because it was just this big garage shed that was gray and looked rough. The side of the garage looked irregular because the shed wasn’t painted that well because even in the dark I could …show more content…

I walked ever so quietly hoping that no one would hear me so they wouldn’t pop out. My understanding was wrong because right when I thought that a girl dressed as a creepy doll with her hair in pigtails started singing. She got up, followed me and sang Ring Around the Rosey really creepily. Jazmine and Felicity were screaming so much, but I have to admit I was crying and screaming a lot too. Aunt Sam got really annoyed and asked a guy with a hammer if he could hit her in the head with it, she knew it was plastic but she still asked. Of course he said no because if he did that he could get into a lot of trouble. There was a large bump in the ground and the heel of her boot got snagged and it broke. As we approached a turn in the haunted house I got kind of frightening but yet happy. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I could hear children and adults talking loudly and some even crying after the experience in the haunted house. Felicity, Jazmine, Aunt Sam, and I were all glad that the haunted house had come to an end. I heard Khristian, Lizzie, and Uncle Jon come out laughing. Uncle Jon went up to Aunt Sam and asked, “What’s wrong with you

  • Analysis Of The Haunting Of Hill House

    1715 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Haunting of Hill House written by Shirley Jackson, and Tony Burgess’ People Live Still in Cashtown Corners, are horror novels. Both evoke fear in readers in dissimilar ways. The Haunting of Hill House takes readers on an ominous journey that creates feelings of uneasiness, while Burgess’ novel has a direct approach to create fear, right from a rampant killer’s point of view. Despite the differing approaches on the classic genre, Jackson and Burgess demonstrate that horror stems from isolation. Isolation negatively affects mental health, which produces petrifying chaos and destruction of oneself and others.

    The Nelly Butler hauntings is referred to as the first recorded ghost story in American history (LiBrizzi 5), and possibly the most exciting hauntings to date as there are still many unsolved mysteries. The apparition appeared on more than 30 separate occasions to over 100 witnesses in Sullivan, Maine, just over fifteen years after the American Revolution (5-6). Although the Nelly Butler apparition is one of the most convincing ghosts of all time, it was subject to suspicions of fraud. These claims turn out to be groundless as the evidence reveals the ghost to be genuine.

    From the perspective of a ghost story, the narrator makes references to some “creepy” ideas early in the story, noting her first impression of the house is, “it is haunted” (Gilman 746). Beyond the aesthetics of the house, we see a level of fear overcoming the narrator in: “there is something strange about this house-I can feel it” (Gilman). What about the house makes it appear and feel haunted? Not the aesthetics of the home, but what’s inside…..inside the wallpaper. Almost immediately we see the issues...

  • A Ghost Story Analysis

    1050 Words  | 3 Pages

    “A Ghost Story” by American author Samuel L. Clemens (also known as Mark Twain) is a short story that “departs sharply from the views sanctified by critical condition. [Twain] opposes a studied perfection of plot, favors instead a loose, spontaneous development of narrative” (Feinstein 1). The story opens in an abandon building in New York, the narrator describes his flight up the stairs with creepy detail and allows the reader to simultaneously reach a sensation of relief as he arrives to his room. Here, he sits by a fire and listens to the sounds of the city fade away, which enables him to fall into a deep sleep. After a brief while, the gentleman awakens to a faint tug of his sheets and the sound of an elephant- like footstep tiptoeing around the hallways. The man with a “shuddering expectancy” of what could be lurking around the halls is relieved when the shadowy creature exposes himself and he is none other than the ghost of a fake preserved

  • Meryl's Short Story: The Haunted House

    Meryl had told me about the talk she had with Sam. I'm only assuming this, but I bet it's the reason she left. She actually told me straight up that she was afraid of him. She even asked me if I was abusing him. Of course, I denied that. I loved my son and I still do. She said he likes to talk about "the bad man" and how he's the one who knocks on the door in the basement. She asked him if there was a man locked down there, as if I were keeping a man locked away in my basement. Sam told her the man was not locked and that he could be wherever he wants to be. "The bad man is right there," he said, pointing at the chair near the fireplace. "He likes sitting in that chair. It's his favorite."

    1. The place was extremely dark. Not the type of dark where your eyes would adjust eventually, but such a darkness that you couldn't even see your hand right in front of your face. It was 1 o'clock in the morning, to make matters worse. You could hear the people walking nearby but you couldn't exactly distinguish when they were going to inevitably scare you. Your friends had forced you to go into this special haunted house, and you were terrified. The air was cold with anticipation and you had mentally cursed your friends for doing this to you. They knew haunted houses were your biggest fear, but they still managed to get you to walk in, trembling from fear and shivering from the nervousness that the eerie music that played in the air gave you.

  • Write An Argumentative Essay On Ghost Hunts

    1034 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ghost hunts can be conducted however you want, so there isn’t really a set way that everyone does them, but there is a guideline that most people use. The first step is meeting near the location and decide who will work each piece of equipment and divide into teams if necessary. You need to decide who’s doing what and where everyone will be so that you don’t mistake someone else making noise for something paranormal. Next you want to make sure you put yourself in a positive frame of mind. Many experienced groups believe that there are evil spirits in areas such as cemeteries and that saying a prayer or blessing will get rid of them. Many demonologists will say that by doing this in the name of whatever god you worship, you’ll keep any non human spirits at

    The module I found most interesting in terms of class concepts was the science and religion module. One of the main reasons I found this to be the most interesting is that this class looks at religions and believers from a scientific stand point. When analyzing the textbook it becomes very apparent how to approach the study of religion scientifically. From the concepts I have learned throughout the class I have been able to step back from my own bias and see the study of religion for what it is.
