A Haunting In Mackinac By: Chelsea F.

“Why do we have to move?” murmured Aly. “We need a better home that has a little more history and an old fashion feeling to it,” explained Mrs. Michalka. They were moving from Lambertville, Michigan to Mackinac City, Michigan. Mackinac City is famous for the Mackinac Bridge and Mackinac Island. The Michalka’s were actually moving because the ecominy was bad. As the Michalka’s pulled into their new home (that didn’t look very new) the girls gave the house a funny look. “You expect us to live there?” chuckled Aj. A few months after they moved in they had everything packed and the girls went to their new high school. It was early April and it was getting close to Spring break. So one day Aj was lying on her bed reading a book when, all the sudden her bad started to shake violently. Then, a deep man’s voice yelled get out now or else you will pay the consequence. As Aj’s screams of terror rang through the old house she saw a man standing at the foot of her bed. He had an old suit, with a dark blue tie, black short hair, and an angry face. Then, Aj’s dad came running in and the man disappeared. “What’s wrong?” asked Mr. Michalka in terror. “T-there was a man at the foot of my bed, he looked angry a-and my bed was sh-shacking wildly,” Aj cried and stammered at the same time. Then, Aly and Mrs. Michalka came running to see Aj terrified. Her hair was all frizzy, she was crying her eyes out, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. Aly and Mr. and Mrs. Michalka were also as terrified as Aj. “I don’t want to stay here tonight,” cried Aj. “Me too, if she doesn’t feel safe in our room neither will I,” Aly replied. “Fine you two can sleep in the living room down stairs,” Mrs. Michalka snorted. After Aly & Aj left Mr. and Mrs. Michalka both wondered what shook their daughter’s bed. It was a complete mystery to them. Aly and Aj fell asleep quickly after a long, mysterious day. It was around 3:00am when Aly woke up to get a glass of water when she looked up towards the stairs she saw a man with a dark jacket covering his face and dark ripped up jeans. Aly dropped the glass of water and when it shattered everywhere she started to scream at the top of her lungs. Aj woke up immediately. She stumbled to the kitchen to find her sister sitting in the corner just staring at the stairs. She looked terrified, like she just saw a ghost. “Th-there was a man by the stairs!” cried Aly loudly. “What do you mean there was a man by the stairs?” asked Aj. Their parents came speeding down the stairs. “What happened?” asked Mr. Michalka in a firm tone. “There was a man by the stairs” cried Aly once again. “That’s it, I think we have a ghost in this house,” exclaimed Mr. Michalka. “Well, Mackinac City is a pretty old city, with a lot of history to it too,” explained Mrs. Michalka. “I could feel his anger and hatred,” mentioned Aly. After that the family decided to have a psychic come to the house. When the psychic came the Michalka’s had they looked like they just saw a ghost. “Ghost problems?” asked the psychic. “More like terrifying ghost problems,” Aly told the psychic. “Well, I do feel like there is a ghost here, I don’t think they are here to frighten you,” explained the psychic. “They are something called earthbound spirits, where they are spirits stuck on earth,” the psychic told them. “So what you’re saying is that we have an earthbound spirit in our house,” mentioned Aj. “Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying,” the psychic told them. “So, what should we do about it?” asked Aly. “Well you could always get your house blessed, or you can just leave them be,” informed the psychic. “Well, I think that just to be safe we should bless the house,” mentioned Mrs. Michalka. The minister came right away. As he did his blessing he would say in certain rooms that he felt a ghost’s presents was following us and he was angry we are here. When he went by the stairs and screamed blessings and holy water everywhere a big boom came from Aly and Aj’s room upstairs. “What was that?” asked Aly in terror. “I think I have an idea what it was,” whispered the minister.

“W-was it a ghost?” asked the frightened sisters. “This is a mean and angry ghost,” whispered the minister to the others. He continued to scream the blessings and all the sudden the Michalka’s belongings were rising into the air and flying all over their home. Their belongings were literally soaring through the house. The psychic, Mr. Michalka, Mrs. Michalka, Aly, and Aj all got down on the floor and huddled together. Scared for their lives the two girls ran out of the house and into the front yard. The rest followed later on. The Michalka left the house that night to stay at a motel. When they returned the next morning everything was in place and not soaring through the air. Aly and Aj were too frightened to go in the house so they stayed in the car. When Mr. and Mrs. Michalka came in the house they felt as if a huge weight had been lifted of their shoulders. They were no longer tense when they came in the house. The Michalka family stayed in their new home for six more months. Because the haunting started again they moved to a quite neighborhood in Lansing, Michigan, also known as the capital of Michigan. They never had a haunting again. They now stay far away from their old home. When they go anywhere near the home they get tense and stiffen up. The family never returned to the home for the rest of their lives. The end

 I like - I like the way you have started in the middle of an event. I also like how you have added information 'the scary stuff' as the story progresses. The plot and story development was interesting,I liked how you based the story on a haunted house. Question-Why did you choose the story to be based on a haunted house? I think that your story was really cool I enjoyed reading it.
