Haunted Slaughter House
The first night I heard somebody tell the story I thought it wasn’t true. I heard one of
the teenage boy’s named Michael and his friends went in the haunted slaughter house and
they never came out again. That night Michael and his friends, Joe and Mike, went scaring
little kids while they were trick-or-treating. The teenage boys were wearing repugnant masks
trying to be as scary as possible to scare the little kids and adults. When they were done
scaring the little kids; Joe asked Mike and Michael if they knew the story of the haunted
slaughter house. Of course both said no and this is where our story begins.
It was 50 years ago when it happened, the butcher Hamilton was locking up the
slaughter house. Hamilton was 35 years old, tall, skinny, brown hair. Hamilton has been doing
his job as a butcher for about 10 years because the shop was his father’s. Hamilton always
walked home every night from the shop after locking it up. Tonight was a different night
because it was Halloween night and all the parents and kids were out trick-or-treating. On his
way home he passed a woman that was making a concoction in a big black pot that was
giving off miasma kinds of vapor smells. He stopped and asked the woman what she was
making in her big pot. She said she was making a potion so she could see into the future
because she said she was a clairvoyant witch. After Hamilton heard that one he was a little
Heinous about hearing that she was clairvoyant. Hamilton said she must be crazy because
people can't be clairvoyant. The witch said that he would regret saying that to her and she
said he would die in the near future. When he looked at her he could see she was giving him a
sinister look that scared him. Once the witch said that he would die he was gone before she
could say anything else to him. Once he got home he ate dinner and got ready to go to bed.
Right before he was going to bed someone knocked on the door he went and answered the
door but when he opened the door no one was there he was. He thought that it could of just
been some teenagers messing around. Except the knocker wouldn't have been able to hide
anywhere without being seen. After that Hamilton went to bed and kept thinking about the
witch and the knocking on the door.

The next morning when Hamilton was going to the slaughter house he saw a small,
hunched over figure up in a tree across the road from the slaughter house. Hamilton then
finished unlocking the door and he went in. All day Hamilton was wondering what the figure
in the tree was he just figured that it was a little kid climbing trees. Hamilton had a feeling of
premonition with him through the whole day. Hamilton finally found out why he felt
something bad was about to happen. It was when Hamilton was putting meat he just finished
cutting up in the freezer. Hamilton was closing up the freezer when he heard noises in the
next room. He went to go and investigate but when he got there he probably wished he
hadn't gone to see because in the other room there was a mutilated body lying on the floor of
the slaughter house. He rushed over to see what or why it was there but the only thing he
found was a butchers knife in the chest with the arms and legs cut off floating in mid-air.
Hamilton had had enough he ran out of the room but he heard footsteps coming after him
but how could it be when no one else is in the slaughter house with him or is that what he
thought. Next thing he knows the arms and legs are gaining on him with a scythe in the hands
ready to kill him. Hamilton wasn't going to go down without a fight but before he could get a
weapon the vixen witch came out of nowhere and told him he would die. Before he could beg
not to die the arms came and cut his head clean off his shoulders. That is how the slaughter
house became haunted by the butcher.
When Joe was done telling the story he asked Mike and Michael what he thought of
that story. Mike and Michael both agreed that the slaughter house isn't haunted. Joe
challenged them to all go to the slaughter with him yet that night. Both agreed and they set
out on their jaunt walk up to the slaughter house to see if they were right or wrong. When
the three teenagers got to the slaughter house they just stood outside and looked at the
building wondering if they were really about to go in there. Joe said he would go in first to
see if anything was inside. When he said it was alright to come in they all proceeded in to the
slaughter house of the butcher Hamilton. The teenagers just started looking around the
building inside and agreed to split up and join back up at the door later. As Mike took the
freezer room he didn't know what to expect but freezers. When Mike entered the freezer
room nothing was there like he expected. When he was just about to leave something came
flying at him but it was too late for him to see because Mike was dead within seconds of
entering the room. Joe had taken the kitchen and was getting nowhere because he wanted to
show the two scaredy cats he was right. When Joe was looking in the cupboards and drawers

the knife block started to float in the air and the knives all pointed at Joe. Joe knew he was in
trouble so he ran because he knew this was evidence of ghosts. Before Joe could get out of
the room the knives all went and chopped the knives down inch by inch. Now that Joe and
Mike were both dead only Michael was the last one alive. Michael had taken the office of the
butcher and knew nothing was inside the slaughter house. When Michael entered the office
something felt wrong for him but he couldn't feel it. Michael was curious to know if the ghost
was actually in the slaughter house. Before Michael could think any farther the ghost came
face to face with him and he was more scared than ever before. The ghost just looked at
Michael grabbed inside his chest and crushed his rib cage and ripped his heart out. Michael
stood there another second then fell to the ground. All three were dead but not because they
entered the slaughter house but because they always scared everyone and the ghost was
happy now because he had finished his business for that Halloween.
