Anthea's Frightening Afternoon
Personal Experience by Anthea
I was 10 years old and had just arrived home from school. I had my own keys, so I didn’t knock; I just opened the door. I noticed as I walked in that there was a letter on the coffee table from my mom. I read it, and it said that she had gone up to the shop and would be back shortly. She told me to stay home. So, I just took my bag off and sat on the lounge and turned on the television. The Melbourne Cup was on, and as I started to watch it, something whispered in my ear - a whisper that sent chills up and down my spine! It said in a cold voice, "I can’t see." As soon as I heard it, I turned off the TV and went out the front, shut the door behind me and waited on the front steps until mom came back from the shops. Now that was scary!
