The Haunted House

When the Harris family moved into an old house, they hoped to find a peaceful place to live. The house had old-fashioned furniture, long dark corridors and a strange atmosphere. On the first night, a mysterious noise began to fill the rooms, and everyone felt afraid.

The next day, strange things happened again. A heavy chain fell onto the floor, and a desk drawer suddenly smashed shut. The children thought they saw a ghost walking quietly at the end of the corridor. It was enough to frighten the whole family.

Late at night, Emma woke up because she heard a loud crash near her window. Her father quickly checked the house and told everyone to stay together. They didn’t see anyone, but they were sure someone was trying to scare them.

In the morning, they found a secret room behind the stairs. Inside the cupboard, there was a broken skeleton. Emma felt angry and scared because someone wanted revenge and tried to terrify the family. In the end, the police explained everything. There was no ghost — a neighbour wanted to scare the family away. After learning the truth, the house felt peaceful again.
