The house

on April,02,1959 a rumor spread around a little town called Greyhaven. The rumor goes that an old man dies in his house and possesses it, and whoever enters gets eaten because the house uses souls as nourishment. On June,02,2006 at a sleepover, a 15-year-old girl named Nika asked her friend Charlotte if she wanted to explore the rumor, to which Charlotte replied, “Wouldn’t that be dangerous” “how dangerous could it be,” Nika replied

 “We could get trapped and the walls could collapse because the woods old and probably moldy,” Charlotte explained

“True, but if we just explore a little bit, and we don’t go far in the house, we’ll be safe, and we’ll take our phones in case,” Nika declared “Fine we’ll go,” Charlotte hesitantly replied the house they had to walk to was a mile or so through the woods behind Nika’s house. As they approached the house, Charlotte started walking slower drifting behind when Nika noticed she turned around and told her to hurry up, so Charlotte started moving quicker but as they approached the house that was made of rotting old wood, Charlotte looked up at one of the windows, she saw a silhouette of a man staring down at them as they approached the house.

“Are you sure you want to do this? That door looks like it will collapse at any moment,” Charlotte shuttered “if we get trapped we still have signals on our phones, so we can call the cops if we get stuck,” Nika replied. As they walked into the house Charlotte says, “I’ll stick outside I don’t want to risk dying” “okay if you get scared out here alone, come inside,” Nika replied “I think I’ll go back to your place, stay safe,” Charlotte declared “okay just monitor your phone just in case,” Nika demanded. As Charlotte walked through the woods back towards the house, she sees a silhouette of the man, but the closer she gets the clearer he looks, it was an old man with a bushy beard with centipedes crawling in and out of his beard and long gray rag like hair as the smell of rotting flesh approached from his direction, as she stood like a deer in headlights staring at the man he started disappearing, she stood there for a few more minutes wondering (what the fuck happened.) As Nika stood outside, she noticed the little empty land left looking taken care of, but the house smelled like rotten flesh, and as she walked toward the house it got worse. When Nika entered, there was the old man’s corpse sitting in a wheelchair.

As Nika tried to text Charlotte, she heard the faint whisper of a man saying “you can escape if you reel someone else in” as she heard that she tried to exit the door, but when she tried to exit the door led to a bedroom and when she tried to exit out a window, the window locked and there was no way for her to unlock it at the top of her lungs, Nika screamed “how the fuck am I supposed to reel the so-” “bring someone here, get them trapped and ill, let you go,” as she heard that she grabbed her phone and texted her friend Noah, “hello, Noah, you there” Nika frantically typed “hey, is everything okay” Noah asked “no, i’m stuck inside that abandoned house a mile or so into the woods behind mine” Nika declared “do you need help” Noah asked “yes, please I tried the windows and doors and I can’t get out” Nika begged. As Noah walked toward the house he heard scratching from a nearby tree, so he quickly looked over to where he heard the scratching, but suddenly he heard someone walking toward him from where the house is, but no one was there, so he continued walking and as soon as he reached the house he called for Nika but no one answered, so he entered the house and called for her again still no answer, so he texted Nika “hey, i just called for you did you hear me” Noah asked “no I didn’t are you in the house” Nika replied, “yes, I'm here” Noah said “okay, come upstairs” Nika asked “okay I’m on my way” Noah replied. As Noah walked up the stairs he screamed for Nika, but no reply when he reached the top of the stairs he saw a man slumped over against a wall, as Noah slowly backed down the stairs he texted Nika when he hit the bottom “hey, I saw a man facing toward a wall up the stairs are you still here” “no, I’m walking home” Nika replied “what the fuck, what are you doing” as he tried to leave through the kitchen door he heard foot steps walking toward him from behind, as Nika walked home, she heard a faint scream from the house and continued walking. A week later she heard people around her town talking about how Noah’s dead corpse was found in the woods near the house so the woods have been closed to the public since. to this day Nika bares a secret that none of us could bare that she was the cause of someones death., Charlotte and Nika are still friends despite Nika killing their friend. for years after Nika killed Noah people have been seeing the old mans silhouette roaming in the woods one day a little girl was playing in her back yard when suddenly she saw the old man standing staring at her play as she stood in fear he walked slowly toward her as she tried to run he grabbed her and lifted her by her neck as he said "the house is waiting" when he put her down she stood thinking of what he meant, a year or so later the girl and her friends went into the woods and saw the house the girl remembering what the old man said says "we should explore this house", for the next few days missing signs have popped around Greyhaven and to this day they have never found those girls.
