Ghost

James Gregoire Ghost 9-18-07

Do you believe in ghosts? I do since two years ago my brother and my best friend Jermy were walking home from school there was always a huge hotel. We were sure it was abandoned because most of the windows were broken. Everyday we went by it we wanted to look inside but my brother says it looks creepy he was kind of right. Every time we went by it we felt a burst of cold air. That burst of cold air was a huff from the dead Queen Elizabeth. She is huff because her king is dead and can be brought back to live ever again but if the Queen kills twelve little girls she drinks their blood when she drinks all their blood she turns back into a mortal again.
We’ve heard that eleven girls went in there and they never came out. We were always hoping a twelth girl would not go in there because the queen is very bad. One day my best friend and I were running away from my brother so we went in the hotel to care him when we say him we started to make creaking noise so he came in so we ran into one of the hall he kept following us. He finally caught up but we heard a stomping noise a couple stories up so we started to climb the stairs so we started going down the hall to try to find the right room. So we keep opening the doors be we did not find anything se we went to the top floor and we went to the last room and open the door and there was the monster so we started to run and he kept chasing us so we go down the stairs and we open a door and go inside the room to hide. He kept hitting the door. Then we ran off as soon as possible.
