While Andrew is counting, t hey all run off to find a place to hide,
Some go upstairs and some s tay on the first floor and run around.
Mindy goes running up the s tairs and runs into a room.
Mindy is surprised by how big the room is, walks around the room and
finds a bathroom. She walks in and remembers when Anderson was
telling them all about what had happened in the house.
(flashback)
ANDERSON
In the house the wife killed two of her children in the bathroom of
her room. She drowned them and her other child just watched her do
it, because she was so paranoid. People say the mother still haunts
the house trying to kill people as if they were her children.
(Flashback ends)
MINDY
Ahhhhhhh!

omeone walking down the stairs, so he quickly hides

because that n oise was loud e nough t o hear in the whole house.
T
odd is walking around the house trying to find a hiding spot. He
goes in a big room and inside are is antique furniture with no dust
or cobwebs. Todd is surprised when he sees the whole house is all
torn down and old, except this room. He just looks around the room
admiring the nice furniture, and trying to figure out how this room
is clean and neat. He hears the door knob shaking and Todd quickly
hides underneath the bed . He feels a heavy breathing on the right
side of his upper body. He then, turns arounds and sees that nobody
is there. He starts breathing heavy and tries to get out from under
the bed fast. He shakes it off. He is just sitting on the bed
thinking about the weird things he just experienced. Todd looks up
and sees the same black figure on the ceiling. He squints his eyes
then rubs them. After he was done rubbing his eyes he sees the black
figure is in front of him. He doesnt move. Todd walks back and falls
on the bed. He tries to get up from the bed. Todd grunts struggling
to move, moving his arms with all the strength he had back and forth
and side to side. Todd gets super scared he almost wet himself.
