Me, my mother, my step-father and his two sons live in a
small, but cozy house. Every summer, we all go to our
little cottage on the mountains. There is one big living
room, including a kitchen, and there are 4 bedrooms, each
with 2 beds. It was very cozy until my step father's mother
died.
We were halfway to the cottage, and we stopped to get a
burger, then we continued. 1 hour later we were there, and
parked the car. It was a long way to walk, but we managed.
When my step-father's sons, (called Markus and Mathias
btw.) and I got there, we all sat down by the terrace near
the entrance, exhausted of all the carrying.
When my mom came with the key, and went to open the door,
the door was unlocked. We all found that pretty odd,
because we were the only ones who lived there, and we
hadn't been there for a year. My mom (called Mary), got
hysterical, because she thought someone had gotten in and stolen
something, but nothing was taken.
We all ran in to occupy the best beds, when we heard the
water was on, and all the closets in the bedrooms were
open. All these strange things kept happening each time we
left the cottage for just a minute. (Lots more carrying,
but since I'm a girl, I didn't have to carry that much).
It started to get dark, so we all started to play card
games. I'm not so good at card games, so I lost. Every time
I lost I kept joking about getting upset, and threw the
cards on the floor. The third time I did it, and went to
pick them up, they just kept on gliding a few inches from my
hand, like someone was pulling them away. I was really
annoyed before I thought clearly. The cards are sliding
away from my hand without anyone touching them. I was
really shocked.
When we all went to bed, I of course, had to sleep alone
because I was the only girl. I had my window up, because it
was in the middle of the summer. And I always like to have
the door open. Then, the wind shut my door - I thought - I
opened it and went back to bed. Again the door closed by
itself. I got really annoyed and closed the window, then
opened the door. I almost fell asleep when it AGAIN closed
itself. I opened the door, just a little, to wait and see
who kept closing the door. Unfortunately I fell asleep, and
woke up the next morning, but the door was now open.
After breakfast we were going swimming, but I decided to
stay at the cottage to read a really nice book. I was all
alone. That's the way I usually liked it. While I was
reading, I got something in my eye, so I went to look in
the mirror to get it out. And guess who I saw next to me?
My step-father's mother. I screamed and ran out of the
front door. I had now seen a ghost in a mirror. We left the
cottage and never went back.
