watchING horror films and havING fun. But in a small

village of England, Brampton, almost ten years ago, nobody celebrate this party. People go

home and the village is in darkness and the silence is total. But what is the reason WHY nobody celebrateS this

party?

The old mansionAll happened ON the night of 31ST of October. Sally, a girl

with thirteen years old, blonde, short hair and brown eyes met her friends in the village. They were fed up

because they ALWAYS dID the same and they wantED to do different things. Sally decided to go to the old mansion of Dr.

Smith. It was an abandoned big house of wHich many

legends WERE TOLD but she was not FRIGHTENED. IT WAS

Halloween and it WAS the opPortunity TO go to visit IT

The old mansionTom decided go home because he

DIDN’T want TO enter the mansion. But Sally and Rachel

decided TO go. They arrived at the door and a cat jumped to their side and scared theM, but they decided

TO continue.They entered and went through a

long hall and they heard some noiseS.

Rachel was scared and decided to return but Sally

DID not want TO. She thought that the noise was “the wind”. She continued

walking and she arrived AT a room. IN The room THERE seemed to be a girl. Then, Sally CHECKED the room and suddenly the door

closed. Sally was scared and she sought another exit but

she heard a voice, she turned around and she saw

a small girl.

The girl seemed real. She was SHORT and dark SKINNED. She was wearing a nightgown, but...she was floating. The

girl seemed sad and she told Sally and story. Dr Smith was an old man

that lived alone. People in the village told that he killed children because he

never had a baby. “I entered here because I lost my ball and she killed

me” said the girl.

The end...

Suddenly someone opened the door. The girl disappeared but Sally couldn´t Escape.

THE next day Tom, Rachel and Sally’S PARENTS were very WORRIED because

they didn´t know whERE Sally WAS. HER parents called the police and the police

went TO Dr. Smith´s house but they never returned AGAIN. The people in the village

heard this and since THEN, NOBODY celebrates Halloween in Brampton.
