The HHH (Haunted House Hunters)
I’d never forget the day that we went into that very Mysterious house, I mean very mysterious and scary. Here
is how it goes.
I was watching a boring baby show with my brother. Then I got bored, so I thought that I could probably go
meet my friend in the forest where there was this is this very old house. Dalton said “Let’s go inside and find out
what is in there.” But I didn’t think that we should do that because the house looks kind of scary. “Oh come on,
Scardy cat,” Dalton said. “Oh fine,” I replied. So, we went in. Then you’d never guess what happened next.
When we got in there, it was really dark. Lucky for us, Dalton had his super powerful flashlight. He turned it on
into the pitch black living room.
When the flashlight was on, Dalton found some furniture and a TV. When he sat down, he found the remote
covered in cob webs. “Wait,” I shouted. “It’s a trap!” “Don’t be silly,” he laughed. When he pushed the power
button, it didn’t come on. “What is going on,” he said. “is it even plugged in?”
Then we heard some foot steps in the hallway. “Wwwwwwhat is that” I shivered. “Don’t be scared," said Dalton.
“It’s probably a waiter, waiting to serve us with some delicious hamburgers.” “Dalton," I said with a serious face.
“Please don’t tell me you have a hamburger attack.”
Then, after all the excitement, we saw an old stair
case. As we went up the stairs, there were creaks coming from the stairs. We also smelled something bad. We
went up the stairs carefully and quietly so that we could follow the smell
When we got close to the top, we saw a wall of hung dead people. Dalton tried to touch one of them.
“Noooooooooooooo!” I shouted. But it was to late.
When he touched it, a big, giant cage fell on us.
“Now, look what you’ve done!” I yelled with a furious look on my face. “Don’t worry dude. I’ll get us out of here,”
he replied." How?!” I said. “I don’t know.” he replied.
Then, Dalton found the key. But it was too far away. Lucky for us, he had his mega magno stick. But, the key
wasn’t magnetic. But, I had my super long hook of which can spread out to almost a hundred feet. I got it out
