The children were fine no lingering fear but they themselves said, "We love y'all but tell Mr. Randy we ain't coming back up there again!"
GREAT AUNT LUNA'S CHARLESTON GHOST TALE

Something loud woke them from a deep sleep. Someone was bamming on the front door and it was loud. She said it was as if they were so angry!
She and Grandma went quietly to see just who it was and what was going on.
Aunt Luna asked who it was but got no answer. It was a man. He just stood there bamming on the door. The two of them quickly went back into the bedroom and frankly covered their heads.
This was a long time ago remember no cell phones and I don't even think there was a phone in the home.
They shook and shushed each other trying to be quiet hoping he would just go away. Eventually, all was quiet so they went back off to sleep.
Not sure how long afterward but they were awakened again. This time by the sound of someone walking heavily and it was inside the house!
Oh no, how scared they were! He or it was dragging big chains! The sound of the chains being pulled was so loud!

The heavy walking and chains dragging across the floors scared the living daylights out of them! They still hid under the covers holding their breath and feeling their heartbeats beating almost out of their chests!
Closer and closer it came until it stopped at the bedroom doorway! Oh gosh, will it just go away?
Grandma Cora slowly peeked at the doorway and thought she saw a shadow. She quickly covered her head again!
It became silent so they both breathed a sigh of relief. Both hoped the long almost sleepless night was coming to an end. It would be daylight soon it just had to be!
All of a sudden the walking and dragging began again until he reached their bedside! Lying there they knew this was the end! It had to be they had nowhere to go! What were they to do?
He sat down on the bed and fell back onto their legs! He was heavy and the chains were still dragging across the floor as he pulled some of it up on the bed with him. They then heard something crash onto the floor as if he had something in his hand and dropped it!
Aunt Luna peeked outside of the covers to see if she could see anything and nothing was there! Nothing could be seen. It could only be felt by both of them!
Then it was silent for the longest time. They just lay there frightened and still.
After a while, he got up and walked away. They could hear as he went out of the bedroom door down the hall, and then out the front door!
Both ladies breathed sighs of relief! He was gone and they were alive! Thank God they were alive! They heard it both did but saw nothing!
Great Uncle Mac returned home after a day of cooking aboard the ship. They soon told him about their adventures during the night. He was not surprised at all!
Thats funny and cute about the trick or treaters being that scared.
ReplyDeleteWe only told ghost stories when friends would come over to spend the night. We would huddle under the sheets or homemade forts in the living room and tell stories with only a flashlight.

I know that was fun nights under the tents telling stories! Brings back memories for me we did that too! Yeah I hated those kids got scared but glad when I knew they were actually fine.
