Not that long ago, my family and I moved into a new house. We didn't expect anything strange to happen until one night. I was alone asleep in the living room alone alone, suddenly I started to hear a woman's and I ran into my mom’s room. Another night, Adam was alone asleep and he heard voices coming from the dark hall. And then he woke up to a bite mark on his wrist. Later that year, Malina heard voices, she was acting fine, same as usual.

Then she told my mom and dad one of the ghost, old lady, “She wants me to go in the closet by myself?” She murmured. But the ghost didn't really threaten my family. Malina didn't listen to the . My mom and dad told her not to do it for safety. I didn't really understand that much was happening until that one specific night came to show. Malina and Adam were outside, right in front of the front door and garage door. Malina was crying and Adam was trying to cheer her up.

I kept hearing Malina screaming, “ She needs help!” Bursting in tears, “she's trapped in the garage, trying to escape…!”.

I didn't know why she was crying. I went to go check up on her, but I didn't get to talk after what I saw. I was pretty shocked and worried when I saw the door knob moving back in forth as if it was scared it self. I looked at Malina and she was frighten, I couldn't even move any more. The House is haunted! Somehow that night ended. Soon after my mom got pregnant and wanted the best for a baby with no ghost around. We moved into a mansion far from the “New House”.

The haunted house

“New house how excited”, Angelica happily screamed. It was a dream house for Angelica,Norma, and john. Angelica was extremely excited for the pool. All three were a very happy family. John was hardy around because he worked in the Air Force. With that being said whenever John was home, Norma and john went out on simple dates. Norma had a passion for decorating everything, she had frames hung up, candles and curtains put up. The house was really big, it had an extra room which no one went inside of. Angelica was a 15 year old girl and her 16 birthday was in three days.

She had invited her best friend over kassandra.they planned to swim,watch movies, and just have a good time. Norma trusted Angelica to behave while john and Norma went to a simple date.it was around 1:30pm so Angelica and kassandra got ready to go for a swim. They both new how to swim which meant they wouldn't drown. (30 minutes later) the water started getting cold and they felt really weird in the pool so they decided to get out. Both were really confused because it was July 24th and outside was really hot, they couldn't think why the water turned so cold. After they got inside both showered and got comfortable to have snacks while watching movies. About 45 minutes into the movie both heard a knock,Angelica paused the movie and went to check who it was but no one was there. The girls just thought it was ding dong ditching. They really didn't think much of it so they went back to watch the movie. After watching a few movies Angelica and kassandra went into Angelica’s room to listen to music and talk. They were using the iPad to play the music, but all of a sudden it stopped playing because the wifi had shouted down. Also the lights turned dim, now both girls were really scared. Angelica tried to call her mom “Norma” but her phone said “no service.”

What's going on”, kassandra cried. “Honestly”, Angelica told kassandra, “I have no idea”.  Both of the girls started tearing up of scariness.

“We have to get out of here” kassandra yelled. They both rushed into the closest since both were really scared. Angelica was a softball player and had several bats but since Angelica had a lot things inside her closet they couldn't find the bats. Then the room turned pitched dark.

“Do you think we are going to die”, Angelica asked kassandra. “Don't think that your mom should be coming home soon.” About 25 minutes of being in the closet scared a really loud sound came from the living room, it sounded like someone was moving the coaches. Then that noise stopped but the fire alarm was going off

“peep peep peep” “the house is on fire, the house is on fire!!!”, screamed Angelica. The house didn't smell like fire and there was no smoke. Both girls scorched together and covered their ears. About 25 minutes of a loud fire alarm going off it finally stopped. The front door sounded like it was opening and it was Norma.

“What happen here Angelica” john asked sounding angry. Angelica explained that it all started in the pool when it got cold, wifi shouted down,someone knocking, lights turned dim,and alarm going off. John this starred at Norma and said

“we need to get help.” “Why don't you believe me” Angelica said crying. Angelica took kassandra to her room and both sat there terrified knowing that Norma and john thought both were going crazy. After a while the sound of the chimney went on. Angelica ran out the room to see why would someone turn it on while it's super hot.

“Turn it off John turn it off john” John was trying to but he couldn't, the bottom was stuck and john couldn't get it to turn off.

“Call 911 call 911”, Norma quickly rushed into her purse to get her phone out but it said

“no service.” “You see mom I told you this is what happened to me when I was trying to call you.” Kassandra was extremely scared so she tried to open the front door but it wouldn't open ! It was stuck. After a while of everyone panicking the chimney turned off and the door opened by itself. Clearly everyone by now knew the house was haunted. Everyone rushed out immediately. Besides Angelica she really had to use the restroom but no one looked back. Once John notice she wasn't outside,

“ where is Angelica!” Norma rushed inside and heard Angelica scream “help help my leg” Norma rushed into the restroom and found her on the floor with her leg completely twisted the opposite way.

Norma pulled Angelica out of the restroom all the way outside. Norma screamed to John and kassandra to please go to the neighbors to call “911.” The neighbors finally opened the door and called for help. Finally the ambulance came, Angelica was crying of how much pain she was in. The Paramedics took Angelica to the hospital immediately and kassandra went along. Norma and John caught up by car. (3 days later) Angelica got released from the hospital but Angelica would rather stay there than to go back to that haunted house by a demon or ghost. However that wasn't a problem because they were moving to a new house once Angelica got released. Angelica was very happy that she did not have to live in that house any more.

Night of the Pale: A horror story (that might have a little bit of accidental comedy) by Joseph Perez

# data[].attributes.body
It was 3:50 in the morning when I was woken up by a phone call from Logan. I picked up the phone and said “hello?” (like everyone is supposed to).

“Hey man,” Logan stated. “Okay, so I just had an idea on how we could get some money.” “Listen, it was last week when I said that we should have a little bit more money, I’m already over that,” I replied. “And it’s early in the morning, why on earth are you calling so early?”

“Well, now that I think of it, this was kind of a bad time to

call,” Logan added. “But then again, this was kinda urgent.” “How is this Urgent?” I asked (I refrained myself from saying ‘yeah, was’). he answered “I already invited everyone to the abandoned mansion.” “Three things.” I said. “First of all, Why an abandoned mansion? Second, why do you need me to come? And third, who is there?”

Logan answered my questions with “First answer, because we’re going to take some stuff and sell it. Second answer, it will be kind of lonely without you. And the third and final answer, Luke, Stacy, Zoe, and Emma are here. So, you coming?” I ended the call with a reluctant “alright.”

It was 5:42 Am when I arrived there (I used some app that helps you locate where friends are and how to get to them, which I thought would never be useful), it was dark (obviously), foggy, and cold. “There you are. Where have you been?” Logan asked. “Traffic was slow.” I answered. Since Luke was (pretty much) my best friend, he was pretty happy to see that I actually came, even though Logan talked me into it. “Glad to see that you’re here John.” Luke beamed.

A few minutes later, Logan got some tools from his truck, such as a sledgehammer, hedge trimmers, and other stuff. “Alright,” Logan started. “These tools are only for if there’s a gate or lock or safe or whatever, so use them only when necessary.” Soon after, everyone got a tool. I took the hedge trimmers, Luke took the axe, Zoe took the hammer, and Stacy took the torch (as in those welding torches used to melt stuff or something, i’m not a mechanic), in case of either safes or dark rooms.

“Remember, we leave at 6:30 or earlier, entirely up to you.” Logan said. We came up to a modern fence that went all around the mansion when stacy shouted ”I’m up!” Zoe then whispered to stacy “You can shout all you want later. Out here, anyone could hear us, which can result in us getting caught.” After that, I wondered, ‘why did she go for the fence if the hedge trimmers would work faster than the torch?,’ but I decided not to worry about it for now. It took 3 minutes to get through, since stacy had to melt each wire individually.

When we got in the mansion, we “disturbed” some settled dust, causing it to fly everywhere, making everyone cough. Logan then said “I never accounted for the dust.” Stacy then turned on the lights, but most of them were either flickering, dim, or both. Then, everybody called rooms they would search. Stacy called the master bedroom, Luke called the living room, Emma and Zoe called the kitchen, leaving me and Logan with the basement.

When we tried to open the door, we found out it was locked. “Who locks up a basement door before leaving?” Logan exclaimed. “Who cares, we’re going to need either Luke or Zoe to open this door. We can get this later.” I said. “I’m going to luke. Maybe you can check the bathroom, see if there are secret compartments.”

When I got to Luke, he was looking in the couch for lost coins. “Just because it’s abandoned doesn’t mean they would leave coins in the couch.” I remarked. Luke replied with “Hey, you never know what era a house was abandoned in, unless it’s made of sticks and has no electricity.” I’ll give you that.” I said.

While I looked around the living room, I decided to search the bookshelves, just in case of secret book levers. I then started to search inside of the two urns for any valuables, but one of them had dust in it, or at least I hope it was. I then took expensive looking vases and wrapped some bubble wrap around them, some for selling and others for keeping. When it got too heavy, I quietly and carefully carried the vases back to the car, as to not alert anyone.

When I got back in, I decided to check in on Logan. But before I got to the restroom, I saw some odd planks in the floor, so I decided to investigate and lift them up. But when I lifted it up, all I found was some 20’s, 5’s (meaning 20 and 5 dollar bills), and a nicely written note to someone named “Earl Walters.”

It read To Earl Walters. If you have found this, that means that either you are now 18 years old and we mailed the location of the note to you, or you are still young and decided to look/store something under the rug and found this note. If it is the second reason, then I would like to remind you not to go in the basement, you know what happened to Ron. But if it's the first one, then this is for you when you have your own home, so use it well. There's also a safe in the basement that uses a passcode, in case the police ask about ‘it,’ and not the book or movie in case you were wondering. It uses this combination in order, so count how many of them. Lawn mowers, urns, cushions on the couch, ammunition next to the gun.

With lots of love, your mother.

P.S. Mentioning the safe actually kind of defeats the point of not going in the basement.

I wondered why not to go in the basement, but also what was in the safe. Maybe it was spiders, bugs, rats, or stuff like that. That might also have something to do with the door being locked. And what did it mean by “it?” but that last thought, I just ignored. After taking the money, I went to Logan, And told him about the note and the kid named Ron, but he just said it was “Probably some baloney to keep some kid away from some tools. Especially the ‘You know what happened to Ron’ part. But the safe, that seems intriguing.”

The reason why I told Logan about the Ron kid was because he sounded familiar. When I felt the wall tiles, I accidentally broke off a secret hatch and found a gun, nine bullets, and ten 5’s. I thought to myself ‘I must be dreaming.’ But then I remembered that I don't have a license, so I took it and the ammo to sell, but not after turning on the safety, just in case the trigger was sensitive.

I went to check on the girls afterwards, but they were already back. “Okay, so after everyone got to the rooms of their choices,” I started. “me and Logan went to the basement door, but it was locked. Did anyone find a key?” “I did!” Stacy answered enthusiastically. We all went to the basement door, but Luke told everyone to get out of the way and tried to break down the door with the axe, but it only scratched off the paint. Apparently the door was actually a metal one painted just like the others.

“What, how!?” Luke yelled. “Maybe next time, look before you leap.” Zoe replied. “In Luke's defense, this door did look just like all the others.” I explained. “I thought it would have been cool to break down the door too.” Luke groaned. Stacy then went ahead and unlocked the basement, turned her torch on, and looked for the light switch. When she flipped the switch, the lights didn't turn on. Logan then said “Well, we should have brought the fla-.” The lights had turned on and interrupted him, but the lights actually made kind of a humming sound. “What was it you were saying?” I asked mockingly.

When we looked around, all we could find at the time were three lawn mowers, weed killer spray, pesticides, and other garden keeping stuff. There was also a metal door that I think went into some military-grade shelter for bombings or storms or whatever, but it kinda defeats the point of going into the basement, which was practically made of concrete.when I looked inside, I found out that the door was actually covering a safe, which needed a passcode.

“Guys, I think I might have found the safe on the note.” I called to everyone. When Luke came over, he immediately tried to take off the panel, but it was riveted on. “Who on earth rivets a panel onto a passcode keypad thing?” Logan asked. “I don't know, but the note said the passcode was, in this order, the number of ‘lawn mowers, urns, cushions on the couch, and ammunition next to the gun.’” I responded. I then thought about it, there were three lawn mowers, two urns, four cushions, and nine bullets. “3249” was the password. “Guys, I got the passcode to the safe!” I shouted.

I put in the combination to the safe and opened it, only to find a small box. When I opened it, we found some family Polaroid photos, two 100’s, five ammo boxes with twenty bullets each, and keys to a car. I wondered why we would need this, but we took all the stuff we could use to sell.

We decided to leave when Logan spotted a closet door. “There's still one room we haven't checked yet.” He said. He swung the door open, only to find some weird, skinny, pale-white, humanoid thing. When he opened it, it had fallen out, as if it were dead. When it fell, everyone except Luke and I screamed, though not girly scream, nothing against girls. I then thought, ‘is this it?”

Everybody then went silent in fear. “I-I think this is the t-time we should leave the b-b-basement.” Luke stuttered. After we left, Stacy locked the door behind us. “M-maybe we could switch rooms for a bit, s-see if anyone missed anything.” Logan suggested, and everyone agreed with him, but only because they wanted to forget about that, that thing.

A few minutes passed by when Luke called everyone downstairs saying “Guys, come down here! It's urgent!” When we got there, the first thing I noticed was that there was a mild dent in the basement door going outward. Then I heard a low, yet quiet growling noise coming from the basement. “Luke, what is go-” I was shouting, but he interrupted me by putting his hand over my mouth while using a hand motion saying I needed to be quiet. “I think that thing woke up.” Luke whispered. “That's impossible, this place has been abandoned for years.” Emma said. “That thing would be dead by now.” “Maybe,” I responded. “But then again, that might be a new species of animal that might be able to hibernate for years. And Luke, how did it even wake up?”

“I was just holding one of the urns, but I accidentally dropped it.” Luke answered. “When I dropped it, the thing must have woken up. And now it's trying to break out of there.” “So let me get this straight, you think that thing we found in the closet is awake, not because we let it fall, but because you dropped an urn?” Logan remarked. “Actually, I never thought of that fall.” Luke responded. “And also, I think we need a quick name for it, like Paleskin!” He added. “Okay, we're probably about to be hunted, and the most important thing to you right now is a name for a monster?!” Logan shouted.

After that yell, the monster, or “Paleskin” as Luke called it, must have confirmed that there are people in the mansion and let out a loud growl, or at least loud enough to be heard through the door, and started to break through the door. I shouted “Run!” Everyone started to split into two groups except for Logan who ran outside to his car.

All Stacy and I could hear from upstairs was the door breaking. Then the monster ran out the front door to chase Logan outside. When I looked out the window, I could see Paleskin running towards Logan whose leg got caught on the fence. After yelling “Help!” over and over again while trying to get his leg loose, the monster finally got close to him. I couldn't look anymore, so I decided to quickly run to the door, quietly close it, and lock it. I ran back to Stacy and told her “I'm sorry, but I don't think Logan can get out of the problem this time.”

A few minutes passed after Logan, well, you know. I met up with Luke, Zoe, and Emma in the living room. “Luke, I'm so glad to see you.” I quietly spoke. “Where's Logan?” Zoe asked. I answered “I think it's safe to say he's gone.” “And the thing?” she added. “After I almost had to witness Logan get attacked by it, I locked it outside.” I replied. “Why? Now we can't get out!” shouted Luke. “It seemed like it would slow it down, I didn't think about that.” I responded. “And don't yell, I'm pretty sure it hears well, even though it doesn't have ears.” “And how do you know this?” Emma inquired. “I saw through a window.” I acknowledged.

After that, Zoe took the hedge trimmers and gave me her hammer. “While everyone is staying in here, I'm going to decapitate that thing” she said. “And what if you miss?” Stacy asked. “Then there's a good chance that I might get rid of an arm or leg.” Zoe answered. Emma Then took Luke's axe and said “I'm going too.”

The two of them then went out the front door, but the first thing I noticed was that they left the door open, which worried me. “Hey Paleskin, come on out here if you want a nice meal! I already got the knife here!” Shouted Emma. I thought it was kind of embarrassing to use the dumb name Luke made up, but I thought, ‘hey, if they die, they die like a cliche.’ It must have heard them from somewhere because I could hear the low growling it makes when it's on the hunt, I just couldn't see it anywhere. That was when it hit me (metaphorically), it must have been on top of the mansion, and it was too late to warn them. It had pounced on Emma and started clawing at her. Zoe tried to cut it with the hedge trimmers, but it hit them away, having them being lost in the fog. When “Paleskin” saw Zoe go for the trimmers, it dragged Emma’s body into the fog and ran  after her. I couldn't hear anything for a minute, but then I heard Zoe’s scream.

After that, everyone decided to lock the monster out again and find a room to hide in, but as right before we closed the door, I heard footsteps coming towards us. “Close the door. Close the door! Close the door!!” Stacy screamed. But when we locked it, I remembered how it broke through the basement door, which was metal. “Get back!!” I yelled.

When it broke through, Stacy threatened it with the torch. When the monster got saw it, it backed away while screeching. I then took the nearest loose plank, put it in front of the torch, and threw it at Paleskin. It then ran away screeching. “Stacy, I think it's nocturnal. It must be scared of the light.” I told her. “So?” She asked. “I have an idea, but we're going to need you.” I told her. “I'm going to retrieve the axe and bring it back into the house while holding a burning plank. Then, I'm going to break some planks out of the walls and have you light one of them on fire, make them into a circle around the mansion, and set them on fire-” “To make a perimeter around the mansion to keep it out. You're a genius John!” Luke interrupted.

When I went outside, I was kind of scared of what might  happen to me. Would it get used to the fire and just attack me at the first opportunity? Am I gonna lose the fire and get attacked? I tried not to think of it.

That was when I came up to the monster, and Emma's body. When I reached for the axe, it quickly turned and growled at me. It was at that moment when it stared straight into my eyes, sending chills down my spine. It's small, pure black eyes resembled the darkness of the deepest parts of the ocean. We stood motionless for what might have been minutes, but felt like hours, staring at each other, until I finally built up the courage to swing the plank at it When I did so, it screeched as it ran, giving me the opportunity to grab the axe and make a run for it. As I ran, I thought I could hear it's growling and footsteps coming closer slowly. I then stopped and swung at it when it got close, and I actually hit it, making it run away again.

When I got back, I told them that I was alright and immediately started to break the walls. Then Luke told me “John, I already broke some walls,” which made me feel awkward since I forgot about the hammer. We then took one plank each, burned those planks, and started to put them down. When we finished, Stacy set the planks on fire and practically warmed up the house. But something didn't feel right because from the corner of my eye, I saw that some of the planks were missing. “Get inside.” I said. “Why?” Luke inquired. “Some planks are missing, get inside!” I answered.

We ran inside and found a room that we somehow missed. “How did we miss the guest room?!” Stacy yelled. “You're really worried about the rooms missed over the fact that we might get cremated inside a house along with a monster?” Luke replied. “Let's just hide in there.” I said. When we first went into the room, the first thing we noticed was that it was really open.

There was a note on the table that read To our guests. We hope you enjoy your stay in the Walters mansion guest room. If you have any questions, some of them might be answered on this note.

Q: Why is this room closed off?

A: In case of fire, we left no openings, not even a chimney, to prevent sparks flying in.

Q: What if there is a storm?

A: We have a generator in the closet next to the restroom door for blackouts and drains in the floor for floods, and the walls and ceiling are made of concrete so that lightning and trees don't break in.

Any other questions? Come to the master bedroom door, write them down, and leave them in the drop box.

Sincerely, George Walters.

When I told Luke and Stacy, they were actually pretty glad to hear that, unlike a certain dead someone. We then decided to board up the door. It took a few minutes before we actually finished boarding up the door. After a while of silence and reading books, the house cooled down a bit, which must have meant the fire has either died down or it stopped.

“Should we check outside? Maybe it's daytime now.” Luke said. Stacy and I agreed with the Idea, especially since the door was boarded the wrong way, so I looked outside. When I did, Paleskin saw me and leaped on top of me. As I tried to get it off of me, Luke and Stacy tried to scare it off of me with the torch. Luke then hit it with the hammer, which I believe practically stunned it. Then, we all grabbed it and threw it out the window.

When we heard a thud, we looked out the window. It was stiff, motionless, dead. We finally avenged Logan, Emma, and Zoe. “We finally killed ‘Paleskin’” Luke exclaimed, and ruined the moment. We all decided to leave via the cars and take the leftover loot from everyone else. But when we all left, I noticed that the monster wasn't where it was before anymore, which worried me, and made me think. ‘What if the Walters only knocked it out and left it in the closet of the basement. Did Luke only knock it out?,’ but I tried not to think about it for the time being.

The end…
