Happy Halloween: Story 2

Scary story

by Alba

 

Two years ago, about this same date, I was going back home, later than usual and when I arrived to the junction where my exit is, I saw a young girl in a long party dress.

The weather was very bad; it was raining a lot (it was raining cats and dogs). I stopped to pick her up, I asked her if she lived near, she was a neighbour. She looked sad and I didn´t want to ask why. In a few minutes we arrived to her home. When I looked to my side her seat was empty, She wasn´t here, I didn´t believe IT, there was not anyone in the street, I didn´t hear the door open or close. How did she disappear?

I got out of my car very afraid. I went to the only house of the street that wasn´t decorated for Halloween. In the rest of the houses little witches and bats hanged on the windows and jack-o-lanterns lighted the night.

I knocked on the door and an old and tired man opened.

- Excuse me! Perhaps you don´t believe me, ten minutes ago I picked a young girl on my way to enter the town, she was wearing a party dress, she gave me this direction but we arrived…

-Yes, I know, she was my daughter, maybe you don´t believe me. (The old man touched his face). She died three years ago and from that day her ghost appears to come back home.
