Chapter 1
“And then,” said Trisha, in such a deep voice that it gave me goose bumps – “they heard the sound
of footsteps and chains dragging down….the candles in the living-room blew out all of a sudden
leaving the whole place in absolute darkness.”
Our bulged eyes all turned to her waiting for the end of the story. Daryl, Melissa, Philip, and
Danielle, our inseparable little group of friends, sitting at the porch of my house on a cold full moon
night could barely move. We were so scared. But to be honest, the one really scared to death, was me.
Trisha was the eldest of us all…and she knew how to tell ghost stories like nobody else. She used
to say she had a knack for the thing. And boy, she really did. She knew just how to leave everyone
scared to death.
“C’mon tell us….what happened after that?” Philip said in an impatient tone.
Trisha added more suspense. She gave a long sigh, opened her eyes wide, stood up from the chair
very slowly and came toward me. I felt the color running out of my face suddenly.
A horrible spectrum crossed the room…leaving a cold trail behind…..and laughing like a madman.
The three boys, in total panic, ran out the door, they ran so fast and so far they were five blocks down
the road from the haunted house before they knew it.
“But, tell us the truth, Trisha” – Danielle whispered, with such a tiny voice that we could barely
hear her. “You made this whole story up, didn't you?”
“Of course not! Do you guys think I would make some stuff like this up? This happened in a little
village in Minas Gerais. My cousins were there and told me everything.”
I felt my heart freeze. These ghost stories freaked me out and I don't even know why I was sitting there
every night listening to them. Afterwards, lying in bed, I would stay hours staring at the ceiling, not being
able to sleep…and when I finally managed to sleep, I would have nightmares all night long.
“Junior!” – My mother called me from inside the house. “It’s late, time to come in!”
Still feeling a little spacey and disoriented because of the frightening vibes of the story Trisha had told
us, we said goodnight and scheduled a dodge ball game for the next day. After all, vacation time was
almost ending and we had to enjoy it to the very last bit.
