The cabin across the river. It’s said that facing your fears can make significant changes in someone's personality. In addition to this statement, Sharkeisha started to overcome her own. At the young age of sixteen, Sharkeisha had once seen a cabin across the river. She lived in a small house in the middle of the forest. Sharkeisha's house was passed down from her family for countless generations. It had been said that the cabin should never be entered. No-one from Sharkeisha's family had ever been inside the cabin before, nor had they seen anyone lived there. However, word has been passed down from her great grandparents that the cabin was haunted. Despite what Sharkeisha's father had said, Sharkeisha still crossed to the other side of the …show more content…

She had been warned multiple times by her family to never enter the cabin. They had explained to her that her life wouldn't be the same. That whatever dwells within the cabin will keep you in there for all eternity. Overcame with curiosity, Sharkeisha entered the haunted cabin that had been feared for many generations past. Sharkeisha had quietly opened the front door. Covered with fear, along with anxiety. Nevertheless, Sharkeisha eventually found the strength as well as courage to open the door. The door had made a soundless noise, which added more suspension to Sharkeisha. Fear was something that infrequently occurred within Sharkeisha. However, it had come back to her. Sharkeisha then realized that she was given another opportunity to close the mystery of what was inside the haunted cabin. Sharkeisha then seized one massive breath, then stepped inside the cabin. Sharkeisha slowly inspects the cabin. As she tries to find anything suspicious. Although it had been the middle of the night, her other senses were activated. However, Sharkeisha had heard the sound of whispers. Despite this, an enormous echo started to show from the

    The storyteller is a 65 year old Hispanic woman from Riverhead, New York. I collected the story over the phone on April 2, 2006. She started off by telling me that the story took place in 1988 on Long Island. Her landlord had told her about a wonderful restaurant that she just had to go to, so on a Friday night the storyteller and her husband decided to try it out. When stepping up to the Jamesport Manor Inn she had a creepy feeling just from looking at the old mansion. She claimed that it had an eerie sort of feel to it and obviously did not look like a typical restaurant.

  • Ghosts at the Rossborough Inn in the University of Maryland

    1240 Words  | 3 Pages

    The University of Maryland has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1856 as the Maryland Agricultural College. Built between 1804 and 1812, The Rossborough Inn is the oldest building on campus today (Ghost Tour, 2). With its history, it is no surprise that the Inn has been a hotspot for ghost activity. Knowing that there have been numerous reports of ghosts at Rossborough, I visited the Inn to ask current employees at the Knight Center for Specialized Journalism, located in Rossborough Inn, if they themselves had experienced anything bizarre or if they had known others who had. I entered the small office where three women were talking and with their permission asked about their experiences with ghosts at Rossborough. Upon asking my question, all three smiled, although shaking their head, they indicated they had not. However, they all had heard of the stories, and one of the women replied and told me to speak with the University Archivist. She told me that she has spoken with the archivist, and upon learning the stories, she said that she “got freaked out and really wanted to go home.”

  • LUCY, By Jamaica Kincaid

    When she imagined leaving her old home, she expected it could be the same as leaving behind “an old garment never to be warn again”(67-68). Leaving behind something warn out and old would be easy, but the reality of leaving her home was difficult. Leaving behind an old garment also means it will eventually be replaced, and while her new home has many choices she has never been given before, they are too overwhelming, and she just wants the familiarity she could count on. She also describes her future as, “an overcast seascape on which rain was falling and no boats were in sight”(42-43). This alarming and scary situation describes how she feels. She cannot count on boats to save her, which could be her family and friends in her old home, and the rain could be all of the new

  • Looking Behind the Wallpaper: Symbolism in The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

    777 Words  | 2 Pages

    The narrator begins by portraying the house to look like typical horror movie houses. It’s a large, pretty house, with locked gates, and is far away from the street and other houses. When they initially moved into the house, she feels spirits right away, saying “there is something strange about the house—I can feel it.” (377). She later declares there is a peculiar smell in the house. “It creeps all over the house. I find it hovering in the dining-room, skulking in the parlor, hiding in the hall, lying in wait for me on the stairs. It gets into my hair. Even when I go to ride, if I turn my head suddenly and surprise it, there is that smell!” (385). The way she phrased this brings the presence of the dead to the atmosphere. Spirits are often described as “hovering” and “creeping” around, popping up unexpectedly. She says it’s hiding and waiting for her, which probably scares her.

  • The Monkey's Paw and The Red Room

    h as: 'darted to and fro' and 'made a run for the door' along with a mixture of long, complex and short, rushed sentences all magnify the speed of the story. This leads to one final pinnacle when the narrator 'screamed…thrice,' showing us one final time that he cannot cope with what he cannot explain and his veneer of pragmatism and civilization has been ripped away from him. Consequently when he wakes up in daylight the next morning in the original room his tone changes from what it was at the beginning of the tale. At the start we saw how his tone was confident and somewhat patronising towards the custodians, almost challenging a 'tangible' ghost. However the first thing he said the next morning is, "'Yes' said I, 'the room is haunted."

    I could barely keep myself from jumping out of my chair. I listened intently, noticing the pronunciation of each word as it danced out of my father’s mouth. “It was pitch black. I was only a year or two older than you, you know. And the forest… the forest was so dark. As we paddled through the water toward the floating black mass of the island, it became hard for me to tell where the water ended and the treeline began.” I felt my heart beating deep inside my chest and fought the urge to leap up and scream with excitement and fear.

    SCREECH! Subsequently, we were through the first and second door of the demonic horror land, eventually arriving at the gate of the third. Like transparent ghosts, we slid through the thick curtain as the doors repeatedly slammed behind us. A figure wrapped in linen cloth came chasing after us and I willed the vehicle to go faster, but it slowed against my control. Thus, I sat grasping the railing tightly in case something even horrid should rise unexpectedly through the depths of the floorboards. "I'm going to have nightmares!" My sister whimpered.

    .... It looked like its skin was so smooth and soft. Before I knew what I was doing I put my arm out an inch at a time, until I stroked the shark as it swam less than a foot away from me. I had realized instantly that it was a nurse shark, and it was very calm, which is common in nurse sharks. I noticed the light flickering above me, the other explorers were returning to the boat and I knew it was time to go back to my own familiar world. As I rose to the surface I knew that I would never forget that day, and all the new unusual creatures I saw. That day will stick with me forever, the new experience, the beauty of it all, but the thing I will remember the most is facing my fear. To actually touch one of the strange creatures that was the root of my fear was very invigorating and freeing, even if it was a harmless relative of the real the real man eaters I had feared.
