Ghost Hunting

            The four teenage friends gathered in front of the old abandoned house for their weekly ghost hunt. They had been best friends for quite a long time. They had all grown up in the same town, hung out on playgrounds as children and survived middle school together. They had grown close over the years and became inseparable. Every weekend, while the other kids went to the malls or parties, these four would gather at cemeteries, old buildings and other places that were said to be haunted.

            This particular night would change everything they ever knew about the world of the dead. As they stood there gazing up at the creepy house, Michael said, “So, we're really gonna do this?” Stacey laughed as she replied, “You scared?” He just shook his head and tried to look as brave as he possibly could. He still couldn’t hide his fear. The house gave him an uneasy feeling as he looked up into the filthy windows that seemed to stare back at him.

            Becky grabbed his arm and said, “Let’s go. We’re not going to find any ghosts if we stay out here.” She went walking up

    Now I want to write one of these! Short enough to read (at my slow pace), but elaborate enough to be interesting and emotionally engaging! Spectacular.

    Really great story, It certainly gave me the creeps while also portraying a realistic aura.

    Excellent writing. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Apologies for woefully brief review, but there's not much more to say. It was entertaining, and that's exactly what I read it hoping to find.

    Now that you mention it, it would have sounded better as 'grown up'. I've been writing one story per week but once I have several of them, I'll put them together in a book and have the entire thing edited.
    Thanks for the feedback and compliments :)

    Hi Susan Jones, is that a grammar mistake in the second sentence: They had all grew up > they had all grown up. Or did you do that deliberately? Great story though
