 A ghost story
My grandparents had a little vacation place, which they always stayed in for a few weeks in
the summer. We sometimes spent some time with them after we finished school. It was on an
island, and the only way to and from the island was by boat. One night, when my
grandparents were already in bed, I heard a strange noise coming from outside, like an
animal that was in great pain. I was too scared to go outside and look, but the next day I told
my grandpa. He just laughed loudly and said, “Laura, it was probably a bear.” I knew it wasn’t!
I looked outside, but didn’t find anything unusual. The next night, I heard the same thing, but
this time it sounded much more human! I turned on the bedroom light, went downstairs, and
looked out of the windows, but I couldn’t see anything. I had to go outside if I wanted to see
what the noise was. I opened the door slowly – I was so afraid! I could only see a little bit of
the lake with the light from the window. It was cloudy that night, covering the moon. The noise
was very loud now, and suddenly a boat sailed slowly through the light then back into the
dark. I screamed, because sitting on the boat was a teenage boy, his mouth wide open as he
shouted, his empty eyes looking straight at me. My grandma found me lying on the floor
outside the bedroom. It was difficult for me to talk, but I told her about the boat and the boy.
“That was your dad’s big brother,” she said quietly. “He went out on our boat one day and
never came back. He was only fifteen when he died.”
