The stories were very scary. A storm was brewing outside my window. The wind began to howl,and the trees shook and bent in the wind. Lightening started to flash across the sky. I felt uneasy as I heard the low rumble of thunder. I glanced around my room. The shadows were deep and dark. The ghost stories were making my imagination play tricks on me. I thought that the shadows were moving. I looked under my bed to make sure that nothing was under there. I hid under the covers and peeked out. I was starting to hear things. A big streak of lightening flashed across the sky,and a loud clap of thunder made me a jump. I was very nervous. All of a sudden,I heard a noise. It was coming from my closet. I thought that it must be a ghost. I looked out from under my covers and waited for the ghost to appear. My face was white,and I was very,very scared. Then,I heard the noise again. Yes,there was definitely a rustling in my closet. I stayed very still and did not make a sound. I watched the closet and hoped the ghost would not come flying out at me. Something started to come out of the closet. I squeezed my eyes shut. I didn't dare to look at the ghost. I heard it come out of the closet. I felt it jump up on my bed. I was still too scared to look. Then the ghost made a noise. It said“meow”. I opened my eyes and saw my kitten standing there. It was my kitten that had made the rustling noises in the closet. I laughed and felt very foolish. I have decided not to read ghost stories on dark stormy nights. I think my imagination plays tricks on me when I read ghost stories on nights like that.
