The Abandoned House

I have always loved going to my friend’s cabins. I have been to a couple different cabins that some of my friends own. There is one cabin in particular that I have been to quite a bit of times. This cabin is very fun, you can go four wheeling, shoot shotguns, hunt birds, take hikes, drive to town and get ice cream, and many other fun outdoor activities. I loved going to this cabin because there was a lot to do. You never got bored because of all of the activities that were available.

            One thing that we did every time we went to the cabin was go to the abandoned house. It was a small old house down the road about a mile that nobody lived in. It was a very creepy looking house. There are also a lot of stories about the house being haunted and such. Every time me and my friend went to his cabin, we would go over to the abandoned house and look around. We would look through the windows and search around the yard for a bit and then head back to the cabin.

            I remember one time, on the drive over to the cabin, me and my friend were talking about finding a way inside the abandoned house. We thought about several ways to get in, trying the doors, climbing in a window, and other ideas. When we arrived at the cabin, me and my friend did some four wheeling and shooting. After that we decided to go to the abandoned house and try to get inside. We told my friend’s mom that we were going and she had us come inside and eat really quickly. After that, we headed for the house.

            When we arrived, we immediately started searching for a way in. We tried the doors and looked for any opened or unlocked windows. We couldn’t find a way in, but then I looked and the old wooden stairs up to the back door, I showed my friend and then we both slowly walked up. I twisted the knob to find that it was unlocked, we had gotten in. As I stepped in the old house I noticed a very foul odor, but thought nothing of it. Me and my friend looked around for a little bit until we heard a noise downstairs. We both stopped dead in our tracks and looked at each other scared out of our minds. We both then looked down the staircase, and couldn’t believe what we saw. A man in a scary mask looking right at us, as soon as we saw this we both sprinted for the door and ran straight down the stairs and straight to the four wheeler. We drove back to the cabin as fast as possible.

            When we arrived at the cabin we ran in and told my friend’s mom what had happened. Right after we told her, she started laughing, and said “We got you guys!” Right after that my friend’s dad walked in with the scary mask in his hand laughing at us because of how scared we were. After that we had all had a laugh. This experience scared me and my friend into never going to the abandoned house again.
