We lived in an old house during our childhood, that was known to be haunted, On certain days footsteps were heard loud and clear walking across the verandah to our kitchen. we had two doors between the steps and us but that eerie sound still haunts us!That will forever remain a mystery! I know what spooky means!!

footsteps of someone walking, past midnight, were too afraid to check or shine a light, children huddled in corner of old house, we breathe in fear, a game of cat and mouse, mystery footsteps walk to our kitchen, ears follow every step horror smitten, hear creaking doors and rattling cooking ware, next day, no evidence anyone was there! 3rd placement written 29/10/2020 Sponsor Tania Kitchin 8 lines of spooky rhyme contest

Sorry for delay in responding was busy with work at home - my mother in law's first death anniversary and you know how much work it requires.

Thanks for dropping by to congratulate me. If it were real I would have died of fear. Congratulations to you too. Scary real story. Puzzling isn't it? Didn't you feel scared after that? Did you ever check where and who of the noise? Soul doesn't have footsteps.

Now that is spooky, Krish! Knowing it is based in fact gives it an additional eeriness. It did send shivers up my spine! Wonderfully done. All the best for the contest my friend!
