    My name is Jimmy. I live in a nice town.

    We have a good school, lots of


    good shops, places to have fun and I have some really good friends.
    There’s just one thing that isn’t so nice about my town; it’s the old haunted
    house on the hill. No one likes to walk by that house. The worst night to
    walk by that house is on Halloween. There are lots of stories about that
    house too. Some say old man Bradford died in that house. He was the
    meanest old man in town and no one liked him. He would shout at anyone
    passing by from the top window. He would scream “Go away!” even
    though no one walked on his property.
    No one really knew why he was always so mean and angry. Some say his
    wife left him. Some stories say he was haunted by a ghost, but no one
    knows for sure. At night you could also hear a dog barking, even though
    old man Bradford didn’t have a dog! Perhaps he killed his dog, who
    knows?
    I never believed those stories about the Bradford house being haunted until
    one night on Halloween, a few years back; I had gone trick or treating with
    some friends. My best friend Sam dared me to go up to the house and ring
    the doorbell. I knew the house was empty, but I didn’t like the idea of
    going up there all alone, but I went anyway. No one was going to call me a
    chicken! I ran up to the porch and just as I was about to ring the doorbell, a
    loud voice yelled, “Go away!” Now I never go by that house anymore!
