A HAUNTED HOUSE
Some people believe in ghosts and others don’t. I’m not quite sure myself, because of the experiences I had
when I was a student. I was sharing a big old house with two other students, Pauline and Fiona.
There were only two bedrooms so they had to share. Fiona didn’t mind because she had decided the house was
too spooky to be in on her own. She was right. For example, it often sounded like people were moving around
upstairs when there wasn’t anyone up there. Also, one night, when we were watching TV, the books suddenly
jumped off one of the shelves.
Pauline believed that it could all be explained. I didn’t really care. However, Fiona was very worried. She thought
there were ghosts living there and would always try to make sure she wasn’t home alone.
One evening, I was walking home when I saw a light on in the house, so I decided to scare the girls.
I entered the house quietly and walked upstairs. I opened their bedroom door and ran in
screaming. Unfortunately, Fiona was on her own. The poor girl was so frightened it took her hours
to calm down. The next day, she started looking for somewhere else to live, and Pauline and I had
our own rooms.
1. The writer and Pauline were sleeping in the same room.
2. Fiona believed the house was haunted.
3. Fiona always asked the writer to stay with her in the house.
4. Fiona wasn’t alone when the writer entered the room.
5. Fiona didn’t want to live in the house any more.
