The House by Sabastian

One spooky, mysterious and creepy night I was walking across the cobblestone road. I was

on my way to my home. It was very tiring walking 15 kilometres every night. On my way

home for the last few nights I keep walking past 38 Rainbow Road. Every time I walk there I

get a shiver up my spine. Today I decided to have a look so I opened the gate and the rusty

gate creaked. I walked in and saw a man burying something .... in a sack .... it ..... looked like

a person. I was so scared I ran straight home. I couldnt stop thinking about the manand

the sack.

The next morning I went back to 38 Rainbow Road.with a shovel. I went out the back.

After checking the coast was clear I started digging. I soon hit the sack. I knew it wasnt

going to be good because of the smell coming from it. I carefully heaved it out and peeked

inside. It was a dog. Just as Id finished burying it, I heard a car coming into the drive. I hid

behind a bush. The man went to the hole with tears trickling down his face. He placed a

bunch of flowers on the grave.

The Rusty Gate by Angus

The rusty gate creaked. It slowly opened. Thoughts were rushing through my head. Should I

go in or should I just walk away? I didnt know what todo. It was so hard. I thought with my

head and went in. I just had to and so I did. I thought to myselfHow did the gate just

open? I knew it had to be someone or something. I went in walking slower than ever. I

didnt want anything to jump out but thenI heard a yell.

Hey, why is the gate open?a man asked with an angry voice. I quickly sprinted as the

man came after me with a pitch fork.

HEY what are you doing my private property?! he said while running.

Finally I got to my house and he stopped following me.

Later that night I heard a voice coming from outside. I looked out my window to see theman except he was a ghost. He came inside.

I screamed, Mum, Dad there is a ghost in my room!

They came running and then the ghost asked, Is this is your son?

Mum said, Yes.

He came on myproperty, the ghost said.

They worked out an agreement that I shall never go on his property again and he will never

bother us again.

Take Away Child by Montanna

It was a rainy, windy night. It was the worst time to go. My mother was holding me in her

arms sobbing loudly and my father was standing firm with a stern face but in his eyes I saw

his sorrow weep from his face. I dont want to go like my brother. I felt my mother hold me

tighter as she looked at her watch. My mother began to weep louder.

Stop that! my father said furiously. Theres nothing we can do. He says sounding softer

in his voice. We can run again.

No. no! We cant. No more running.

We heard the rusty gate creak open and we all huddled together.

This is it, I said. Time to go.

We ran towards the gate and Mum was the first one out. Just as Mum took one step out of

the gate it slammed shut. We were stuck inside and Mum was outside. We heard a scream

and somebody yelling. We saw black figures running towards us. My brother ran away

from the black figures. Mum was screaming on the other side of the gate and trying

frantically to open it.

Mum yelled, Ill go and get help!

Help arrived just in time and busted through the gate with a car. We were safe and theywere arrested. We didnt have to run anymore.

The Creaky Castle

I quickly rushed to get my clothes on. I was running around my room like a mad woman.

Today Im going to the haunted castle behind Mt. Nelson.

Dad called out and said, We are going now.

I ran down the twirly staircase at top speed, jumped off the bottom step and skipped into

the car. We were soon there. I hopped out of the car and trotted carefully up the delicate,

cobblestone steps. Dad told me to slow down. He soon caught up and the rusty gate

creaked as we hauled it open.

As we walked through the gate we saw black figures. The gate slammed shut behind us,

locking everyone in except Mum who was stuck on the other side. The gate wouldnt

budge. She started to panic as she could see the black figures coming towards us. They

were bigger than us and seemed to be talking in their own language. I smiled, hoping they

would know that I was friendly. One reached for my backpack. It wanted me to give it to it.

I handed it over and it quickly opened it, grabbing my banana. With one gulp the banana

was eaten and the black figure zoomed off happily.

The Castle by Zac

I was strolling in the woods one dark night. I was lost. I was cold but then I ran into

something. It was a gate; a tall gate with pointy ends at the top of it. It was locked. I tried so

hard to open the gate but it wouldnt budge. There was a wooden fence on each side of the

gate. I tried to climb over but it was too tall. Next to me was a long piece of rope with a

hook on the end. Before I could do anything else the rusty gate creaked and then they

swung open. I could see a man just at the gates. He had an axe. He had an angry face on

him. He started to swing the axe. I ducked and sprinting away.

I sprinted for home. I looked back and the man wasnt far behind me. I tried opening the

doors but they were locked. I tried to smash a window but the security lock was on them. I

jumped on my skateboard and started riding away. I smashed into a tree. The man swung

his axe and I died. People have written a lot of books about this night.

The Haunted House by Jess

Theres no such thing as a haunted houses, right? Wrong, there is!Ghosts haunt them along

with spiders, zombies and heads with no bodies, covered in blood, laughing at you. Sneaking

up and grabbing you.

Does your house creak at night? Everyone knows night is when ghosts and zombies comeout so you had better hide under your bed unless the bogeyman is there.

Being adventurous at night doesnt do you any good. That is what Ruby never knew!

It was a dark, gloomy night. Ruby and her friend Katie were not asleep though, but of

course not, as every night they snuck out. This time they went too far.

The rusty gate creaked. Ruby and Katie walked through.

A haunted house! exclaimed Ruby. I cant wait to go inside.

They went inside the spooky house. It was dark and scary. The girls walked down a creepy

hall way. There were weird pictures of people, coffins and creepy ornaments. The phone

started to ring. They were too scared to answer it but they did in the end. There was a

weird scary voice on the phone and they got even more scared. Then they went into a room

and found a diamond.The diamond was on a pillow with a laser around it.Ruby said, Lets grab it!

The girls grabbed it but touched the laser. There was an alarm and zombies, vampires and

skeletons ate them.

The Freaky Christmas by Max R

It was Christmas Eve and we were putting up the Christmas tree. As we were looking at the

Christmas tree it snapped and fell on the ground. My brother said it was a ghost but I didnt

believe him. I was going to stay up all night and see Santa. Because we dont have a

chimney he will come in the front door. As I was waiting for Santa I thought about what my

brother had said.

Just then I heard the rusty gate creak but it was not Santa .....

It was Mrs Clause. I had to go to the window to see for myself. Mrs Clauses bottom was

stuck between two fence posts. She was in desperate need of help, so I went outside to

help her. I pushed as hard as I could. Thats when I heard one of the loudest noises Ive ever

heard. Mrs Clause had farted. The noise was so loud it woke everyone in our street. They all

came out of their houses to see what the noise was. No one knew that the toxic fumescould cause an extremely smelly death.

The Night Out by Henko

The rusty gate creaked as Jeremy and his dog, Filep, opened it. They were now in the old

graveyard and it smelt horrible; full of rotten flesh and not very well buried bodies. Filep

started barking. Suddenly in front of his eyes it appeared. It looked like the spirit of a man in

an olden day suit with a briefcase. It told Jeremy to beware of the ghost in the red suit or he

will pay the consequences dearly with his life. There was no doubt Jeremy was scared of

ghosts.

The ghost in the red suit appeared. He jumped forward and started to speak.

I warned you not to come here, the ghost said. All this time I have been waiting for

someone to come, he went on. I didnt think anyone would have the guts to open that

gate and enter.

There was a silent pause for a moment.

Oh well, you didnt listen to the rules so I guess, um prepare to be a spirit!

With all of this said, Jeremy and Filep made a run for it. Passing through the deadly smell

was disgusting. Jeremy and Filep ran home. But were they safe?

The Danger Dad by James

I jogged home. When I opened the rusty gate it creaked. I shouted, Mum!

She said, What, Jimmy?

I lost my dollar.

Of course you did. I am out the back.

So I ran to the back. Mum you grew facial hair?

No, thats your Dad.

I knew that. Dad works for the FBI.

I think it might be time for school, Jimmy, said Mum.

Jim? said Sam. Where are you?

Meeting my Dad.

Ow man, Sam said, thats bad.

No, thats bad, said Jimmy.

My Dad said, Youre under arrest and then he threw Jimmy and Sam in his car.

Poooooofffff ........

Mum said, Noooo what are you doing?

But Dad just drove off fast. Instead of taking the boys to the police station he took them to

the airport so they could go to Africa. There was to be an execution in Australia so they

were going very far away from everyone.

Sam yelled Let me go!

No, replied Dad.

They went to the airport and caught a flight to Africa.

The Trip by Jordan

One day there was an old man named Bob and he lived in a very old house. In the middle of

the night he woke up. He heard a sound coming from outside. He went outside then the

rusty gate creaked. The old man looked back and he saw a person walking through the gate.

It was his son. His name was Larry. Then they both went inside.

But why are you so late? Bob says.

I just got back from my trip to India.

How was it?

It was good.

What did you do on your trip?

Larry stared into space. He didnt answer.

You okay, son? Larry began to cry. Tell your father whats wrong. The soothing of poor

Bob comforted Larry.

I had a great time. It was very enjoyable. Bob looked at his sad son. It was the broken

hearted look. Bob had been through it too.

Its about a girl, right? asked Bob. Larry nodded in agreement.

I met a girl, he said. She WAS the most beautiful thing ever. But her boyfriend was mad. I

never saw her again.. A tear plopped down his cheek. She took me to see all the

greatest Indian sights. I loved her.

I understand, son. But sometimes we get a broken heart. Im sure you had a great time,

though. Lets get some sleep.

Goodnight Dad.

The Chasing Wolf by Georgie

Dont go, I said to my sister in a stern voice.

I dont care whatyou say. I am going anyway, my sister said as she jumped out the

window.

I took a deep breath, looked out the window and saw my sister was OK. Then I looked

harder .... THERE WAS A WOLF IN THE FOREST AROUND OUR HOUSE!

SIS, LOOK OUT! I shouted at the top of my voice. Just as I said that I realized she was too

far away to hear me so I got my torch and made it point in her direction. She ran back

straight away. The rusty gate creaked as she pushed it open. She sprinted inside and so did

the wolf. The wolf ran straight to MY room and curled up on my bed. This was strange. I

tiptoed over to see if the wolf was friendly. It looked small and cute, nothing like the big

scary wolf I imagined. It looked pretty skinny so I went downstairs to look for some food.

We were out of dog food so I settled on last nights left overs. I put the food outside the

front door and the wolf followed. After gobbling down dinner, the wolf wandered back to

the forest. To this day, I see it every morning when it comes for breakfast before I go to

school.

The House by Sam

One day a small boy called Sam lived in an old house with his Mum and Dad. The old house

was very rusty in some spots like the fences and roof. One day his friend Jack came over for

the first time. He was a bit scared but be eventually got used to it. So Sam took him outside.

After a little while the rusty gate creaked and scared Jack. He screamed but he noticed that

it was just a cute, fluffy, white dog. Jack bent down to give him a pat. The dog sat down for

the wonderful pat he had been waiting for. After that Sam and Jack went back inside to find

there was no house. One minute there was a house and the next minute it was gone.

WHAT HAPPENED!!!? screamed Jack.

I dont know, replied Sam.

What could have done this?

Maybe the dog had something to do with it?

It cant have been the dog.

Then Sam saw Jack at the gate. He was playing with the gate and it was making the house

go invisible and visible. The boys couldnt figure out how it was happening. Then the gate

flew away.

That is why Sam was late for school. He got detention and the gate still visits him indetention every day.

Witch by Emily

There goes the football, I said as I watched the ball I had kicked fly into Mrs McGyllians

garden. Mrs McGyllian was the vilest creature alive. Once Peter from across the road kicked

his soccer ball over the fence and he never saw his ball again.

I dare you to go get that, my friend, Tom said.

Okay, I retaliated trying to feel brave.I walked down the garden path and the rusty gate

creaked as I opened it. I knocked and a sweet voice answered.

Come in, come in.

I stepped in and the door swung and locked behind me.

Wahahahahaaa! the witch cackled. Wahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. I had no idea what was going to

happen. She started to make this dark red and green potion. I was so scared and mumbled

to myself that it was all just a dream.

Dont be scared my pretty, this will just hurt A LOT! Hahahahahahahaha!!! said the witch

cracking up laughing.

W-w-w-w-what are y-y-you going to d-d-do?I stammered.

Justone sip, it takes like vanilla, instructed the witch.

She tried to get me to take a sip but I pushed it towards her. She took a sip and slowly

started to melt.

I-I-i-immmm m-m-m-melting!she cried.

I slowly started to make my great escape.

Creepy! by Ava

I was walking home from school when I saw a house I had never seen before. I knew this

because I had been walking home since I was only 7 and now I am 13. I was curious to see

how it had possibly gotten there in a day. I walked closer and closer and then the rusty gate

creaked. How had the gate creaked when no-one had opened it or touched it? Was there a

ghost? Was I imagining it? No, I heard it and I am not even the slightest bit crazy. Then the

houses door opened and out came an old lady.

I was not even scared because she looked as casual as anyone would be anyway, and even

looked nice in a way.

She said How dare you open the gate! she was coming towards me in an angry way.

I said to myself, Second thought she actually isnt nice, she just looks like an old grumpy

person, and I dont like those kind of people that would just come up towards you in an

angry way, and I just like people that would just say Thats ok I will just close it for you I

mean that is just so rude! So I just sprinted out of this place, and before I knew it I was on

the step to the front door.

But I still can`t figure out how the gate opened by its self, and that it was not me that

opened the gate. What is with person and that house?

asked the mysterious voice.

YES I would and how did you know my brothers name, Bens name and also MY NAME?

Just a hunch, squealed the mysterious voice.

Sarah shined her torch where the voice was coming from. She turned around and to her

fright saw Ben and Mike tied together on a stump with sticky tape covering their mouths.

Sarah ran down the street to the nearby pay phone. Mike and Ben broke free and ran home

as fast as they could.
