Oliver: I had the most hair-raising
experience of my life this past weekend.
Alena: What happened?
Oliver: You know that George bought an old
house, right? Well, he’s been telling us that it’s
haunted, so for a
lark, a few of us decided to spend the
weekend there to see if we would have any
supernatural
experiences.
Alena: Are you telling me that you saw
ghosts?
Oliver: I’m not sure what we saw, heard, or
felt. Everything was fine when we got there,
but then we started hearing
strange noises and I started to get
goosebumps. The other guys tried
to play it off, but I know they
were scared, too.
Alena: What did George say about the noises?
Oliver: He laughed when he saw us jump
out of our skins, and told us we were
wusses. He said he
heard those noises every night and they didn’t
have him quaking in his boots.
Alena: Did anything else happen?
Oliver: Well, when we went to bed, the house
got very cold and drafty, like there
was something passing by me
very closely, but I couldn’t see it. That
sent me over the edge.
Alena: Has it ever occurred to you that George
was playing a prank on you guys?
Oliver: A prank? It was no prank. In the
middle of the night when we saw the strange
faces in the windows, even George
was scared stiff. By that time, all of
us were petrified. It was no prank.
That house is haunted.
Alena: Ooh, a real haunted house. I’d love to
spend the night there, too. Do you think
George would let you stay there
again and let me come, too?
Oliver: You want me to go back to that house?
Forget it! Wild horses couldn’t drag
me within 50 miles of that
place again!
