The Old wooden House
In the middle of the woods was a wooden house. It has been there for centuries. It was said to be haunted by a ghost from a civil war soldier. He was said to haunt everyone who came into the house and they never left. But one day 3 teens decided to go into the wooden house and when they came out they were not the same.
The 3 teens were the first to be known to come out of the house alive but they died 4 days later all at the same time some say it was natural causes but why would they all die at the same time. Others believe it was the effects on entering the house and escaping like a curse. Since then nobody has dared to go in the house. Until one day a 13 year old girl named Lily just moved to the town and her friends came to visit that weekend. That weekend Lily and her friend Margaret went to the woods to explore.
But around nightfall they couldn't find their way out and so they found a small old wooden shack in the woods. But then a large storm was heading their way and so the girls went into the house not knowing the danger inside. When they got in the house Lily tried to call her mom but then Lily's phone died. Then a roll of thunder sounded as if it was calling the girls. Then the door closed and a shadowy figure approached the girls.
“ What is that?" asked Lily
“ I don’t know," said margot
“But is getting closer to us” said margaret
“We should run!”said Lily
“ DON’ T GO“ said the mystery monster
The mystery monster was Alissa’s neighbor Jordan. He was the same age as the girls. He was lost and was trying to find a way out.
“Do u hear that” asked lily
“No” said jordan
“Exactly that means the storm has passed now we can leave” said Alissa
As the 4 were trying to leave the door was locked. There was a tree in front of the door. But there was a problem. There was a voice coming from the hall calling and screaming like it was being killed.
“ Ahhhhhhhahhhhhh” sounded the voice
Then a loud bang from the hall then a flash of light came about. A shadowy figure appeared and it looked as if it had a sword through its back. The figure was getting closer all the kids could was “please help
me” . The kids looked terrified at the figure.
“ I think i have heard of this story” said Jordan
“ what story” asked lily
“ A long time ago in the beginning of the civil war a soldier was lost from his group and found this abandoned house and decided to stay here for the night until morning. When he would go looking for his group. But late that night before he went to bed he was stabbed by a confederate soldier. So now they say the ghost of that soldier haunts this place and all that entire. But they say if you enter you will die in their house or you will be cursed.” Explained jordan
“ what the heck how do we get out without dying” asked lily
“ or being cursed” said margret
“ Maybe if we try to talk about it. It will let us go unharmed” said jordan
“ Are you crazy? It is a big scary ghost and you want to reason with it. I say we run far away from this house who is with me.” said lily
“ I like Jordan's idea if we try to talk to it maybe it will let us go free” said margot
“ yea so maybe we can help it find its unfinished business” said margret
“ unfinished what now” asked lily
“ unfinished business when spirits hang around our earth is because they are stuck between the two worlds. It is because they have something they need to do to pass on to the afterlife” explained margret
“ Fine, let's talk to the scary ghost I guess but how are we going to talk to the ghost?” asked lily
“We will just have to talk," said jordan
“ Mr. Ghost, I know you are there. Please come out. We would like to talk to you if we want to help.” said Margret
“ Please help me i need to find my group but i am lost” said the ghost
“ Sir you are dead we need to know what we can do to help you pass on so we can get home” explained magret
“ You're lying, I'm not dead, I'm a soldier in World War 2. I'm hiding . It is time for me to go now. I have to go fight.”
“Sir it is 2012 the war has been over you many years” explained margret
“ No it's not, I just got home to my kids and wife. She is 5 months pregnant with my baby” said the ghost
“ sir what is your name?” asked lily
‘Officer Jones" said the ghost
“ Mr. Jones please believe us it is not the war it is 2012 we need you to believe us so you can go home with your wife you will see her again and your kids”
“ i can't believe it its 2012 oh my god im dead” said the ghost
The ghost couldn't believe that he was dead as he slowly faded into the air.
“ I'm going to see my wife again thank you” said the ghost faded voice
He disappeared into thin air and the sun came out and the tree moved out from in front of the door. They left the wood cabin after 3 days no one had seen them there were cops looking everywhere. The cops say that when they looked there was no cabin, it was an empty field of grass. The kids were taken to the hospital to be examined. Nothing was wrong, which was weird. The cabin was said to have very poisonous gas inside. But no one believed them. They were sent to a therapist to find out where they were all those days. The kids all said the same thing: an old wooden cabin together. The kids still wonder why one one sees the cabin. Everyone says it was torn down many years ago because of toxic chemicals. But the kids think they traveled to another place with the help of the woods. The kids met up one day at the spot where the house was not there. The house was not there like it disappeared.
“ maybe the storm opened a portal to another universe” said margot
“ how is that possible other universes don't exist” said lily
The kids go to the library and look for answers. They read about the house and they look at each other with surprise.
“ look at this” said lily
“ wow it says that the house was tore down after those kids died after going in there” said margot
“ we need to find their families and aks what the kids said to them about the house” said jordan
The kids look through the book and find one of the kids was Lily's uncle. The kids walk to Lily's grandparent house and knock on the door. Lily's grandma answers.
“ Hello Lily, who are your friends?” asks her grandma
“ hi grandma this is margot ,and jordan we need to ask some questions about my uncle greg” said lily
“ greg how do you know about him he was died way before your mother she doesn't even know who told you” said Lily's grandma
“ Grandma we were in the house we were stuck in the house and couldn't get out we need to know what uncle greg said about that house please” pleaded lily
“ Fine, one day your uncle went out with his friends. I was pregnant with your mother. He didn't come home that night. I figured he was spending the night with his friends. Over the next few days he didn't call or show up so I called the police. He was found in the woods. When he came home he was talking crazy about a ghost and a storm. A storm never happened. He said the ghost wouldn't let them out of the house. They finally got a window open and snuck out . Three days later he died. Hunny, he was crazy.” explained her grandma
“ thank you lily’s grandma but we must get going have a lovely night.” said jordan
“ okay bye children”
“ goodbye” they all said
The kids left and went home. The next day they met up and went to the woods.
“ ok we need to figure out what is going on” said margot
“ I think the ghost was using the storms to lead the kids into the house to get help on passing on” said jordan
“ Yes, perfect but we need to prove it.” said lily
“ how there is no ghost anymore” said jordan
The kids thought for a little bit how they could prove it without the ghost. Then in the distance they see something in the distance, a girl in a long white dress. They heard a noise that sounded like crying. The girl kept getting closer to them and closer. Finally the girl vanished; it was like nothing was ever there.
“ well that was weird hey look over there it's the house with the little girl in it” said margot
Suddenly a storm appeared and the children ran inside the house.
“Wait i think i know what is” says lily
“ what is it” says jordan
“ So I think that the spirits are using the cabin like the soldier did to lure people in to help them move on. So they are creating a fake storm to lure people in so they can help these spirits to move on we must help them ” explains margot
“ wait it isn’t that easy we have to figure out why he is still here” says lily
“ She is right, maybe if we go back to the woods we can find out what needs” margot starters to walk towards the woods.
When they get to the woods the storm starts and they go into the woods. They see the ghost in the corner. They walk over slowly and try to talk to the ghost.
“ hi soldier can we talk to you we can help you” explains lily
“ how im stuck here i cant move on im stuck”
“ Did you have anything that you wanted to do before you died? “ jordan asks
“ Well my wife was pregnant I was really excited to see my baby girl” the soldier explains
“ That could be it if we could get his daughter here he could move on” explains Margrot
“ what was your wives anime then we can find your daughter”
“ lauren smith” says the soldier
“ That's my grandmother's name “ says Jordan
“ Wait, could my mom be your daughter?” asks jordan
The kids walked out of the house to go find his mom. When they get to his house they find his mom in the kitchen preparing supper.
“ mom we need you to come with us right now”
“ ok hunny where are we going”
When they get to the woods they walk into the storm to get into the house.
“ what is going on kids why did yall bring me here?” asks jordans mom
“ mom we found your dad he is here but he needs to see you before he can move on to heaven.” he explains
“ what do you mean my dad is here he has been dead since before i was born he dided right before my mom gave birth”
she starts to tear up when she sees a figure walk from behind a corner. She crys and dropps to her knees.
“ dad ? is it really you?”
“ yes hunny pie its me your so big im so sorry i wasnt there to help you grow up”
She crys and she says “ daddy its ok I love you i know you couldnt control what happened to you”
As she is talking he begins to fade and he says this “ I love you so much thank you kids for helping me move on” Next thing they knew he disappeared and the house disappeared. They were standing in the middle of the woods. His mom is still crying and she thanks Jordan and the girls for their help. After that the kids go home proud of themselves for helping him and his daughter that never got to meet her father.
