Haunted House

...Today I woke up at around 6 AM. I think I’m just excited for today’s activity, or I’m just excited to see this certain classmate of mine. Last night I stayed up late because I was waiting for her to get home. She said she was there at around 5, but the truth is when she texted me it was around 4. Anyway I’m glad she had arrived safe and sound, so on with the story. I checked my phone and I realized I was earlier than my alarm. I set it to ring at 7 AM. So there I opened the PC and sadly my father took the cord that connects the modem and the CPU. To keep it simple the internet connection was cut. It meant less contact with her and all her accounts. I’m still annoyed because I can’t enjoy the leisure I had before. I consider myself as a web person now, not like before when it didn’t bother me if I can connect to the net or not as long as I can enjoy myself. So there mother gave me 500 pesos for the day. She told me I should give back the change which will always result to nothing either because I’ve spent the excess money or I’ve kept it to myself. I looked for my yellow piggy bank and from there I took 10 pesos. It would serve as my tricycle fare. I went to the town proper, because the terminals are to be found there. When I arrived at the town proper I went to a certain grocery store. I tried to buy shawarma so I would get lesser bills. God they didn’t have any change for my money!

The Haunted House

...The haunted house Everyone says that the old house at the end of the road is haunted. It used to be the residence of a rich family but now none of them would stay there. So the house is vacant and uncared for. The compound is filled with over-grown weed and grass. My friend Jack and I decided to find out once and for all if what people said was true. So one evening, we bravely entered the house and prepared to spend the night there. We brought along a powerful torchlight, two sleeping-bags, some food and drinks, and a portable stereo set. The early part of the night was no trouble at all. We sat on our sleeping-bags and listened to our favourite music. Twelve midnight came. We felt a bit sleepy. So we switched off the stereo set and crawled into our sleeping-bags. However sleep was impossible. There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere hanging around us. The darkness was oppressive and there was a strange soft whining noise coming from upstairs. We dared not go up to investigate the noise. So we lay quietly in our sleeping-bags and hoped that the noise would go away. But it would not go away. Actually it got louder and louder. Then it sounded like someone moaning. Jack hurried out of his sleeping-bags and switched on the torchlight. We could see nothing except the walls of the empty living room we were in. Suddenly there was a loud crash from upstairs and the moans turned to screams. We screamed too and ran out of the house as fast as we could, leaving behind...

Five Nights At Lucia's Analysis

...It all began after Red Ribbon Week. Our council was brainstorming ideas for our room at the Haunted House. I had suggested the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” theme, which was a very popular horror game. Our council’s number one pick was Slenderman, but I had hope on the theme I suggested. As it turned out, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” was the chosen theme, and I was very excited, because I knew all about this topic. Hannah, one of my council leaders at the time, thought of the overall concept: a night guard warning the children, which would be followed by jump scares, which I agreed to. I added on other details to her concept, such as putting in the desk that is seen in the game and using audio from the game. I was able to immediately sell all of...

Amazing Autumn

...Amazing Autumn The most amazing season of the year is autumn, or as most southerners call it fall. Fall is the time of year when football comes on, the leaves change, bonfires are in full swing, and anything pumpkin and apple is selling. The anticipation of all the little trick-or-treaters, and knowing that family will be around in just a few short weeks makes the heart warm from the inside out. Fall brings Thanksgiving, Halloween, and much more, it also starts to bring everyone’s heart out. Everyone has a bigger heart it seems when fall comes and makes it appearance for a few months, after that it leaves one longing for it until it comes back around. Fall is full of wonderful things that make the season what it is. At the beginning of an East Tennessee fall, all which is heard is “Go big orange!’ All people want to see are the mountains’ trees changing from the bright green and dull green colors into reds, oranges, yellows, and some deep purples. The changing of the leaves’ color and the yelling of Tennessee Volunteer fanatics are how one will know the wonderful season fall is upon us. When fall arrives, Starbucks starts to sell pumpkin spice lattes, and Wal-Mart sells pumpkins to carve. Some will start to see women and men drinking the hot and delicious pumpkin spice lattes and children planning what to carve on their pumpkins. With children planning to carve pumpkins, people will start to see the pumpkins with rather menacing, and some humorous, faces carved into them...

Flashback In The Scarlet Ibis

...Many enjoy ghost stories with haunted houses because of the thrill. Some stories however, include themes of guilt in which a character is haunted by his past. In the short story “The Scarlet Ibis” James Hurst employs flashback and mood to create the emotion of guilt that haunts the narrator. Hurst utilizes flashback by giving a sense of guilt emitting from the narrator. Throughout the story, the author gives examples of the narrator’s selfish actions, which is how he treats his crippled brother, Doodle. Then, Hurst portrays mood by writing the narrator’s thoughts of what horrible actions the narrator did to Doodle. The narrator feels ashamed of having a disabled brother, and feels the need to push Doodle to become “normal”, and this pressure makes the narrator look back and feel guilt. One way the narrator represents guilt is through flashback. Throughout the...

Corrine May Botz Lecture Paper

...Brendon Lee Art 210 Reaction to Corrine May Botz Lecture The lecture presented by Corrine May Botz was very interesting. I enjoyed most of what she lectured about. My favorite part of the lecture was when she spoke of ghosts and the haunted houses. The stories that followed the pictures were very interesting and kind of sent chills up my spine. That was the part of the lecture that had my full attention. It was interesting that these people didn’t just move out, but just adapted and lived with these ghosts. If it were me I would have moved out immediately. Some of the pictures of the homes were eerie, however some of the homes just seemed like normal houses. The only way you could know they were haunted was if the story was placed next to the picture. The other part of the lecture that I found interesting was the miniature recreations of crime scenes. I thought it was interesting how detailed the artists were with all the objects in the home. I wonder how they were able to so accurately place the paint onto the little cups and pieces of furniture. I also thought it was interesting how they created burned homes in the small scale. At times I was not able to distinguish whether the picture was of a real home or of the miniature recreation of the home. Other parts of the lecture didn’t really capture my attention and I found it to be a bit boring. One thing I liked about the lecturer was that she was able to show us the process that she had to go through to get...

Story

...The Creepy Night By Bling Dog The night was cold and windy. The moon was a full moon tonight. The trees looked haunted and scary with their big shadows. The sky was completely pitch black. There was a haunted house. It had a purplish-blackish roof. The house was painted completely pitch black. The door was an indigo color. The lights were out, but the chimney was puffing out black puffy smoke. On the roof there were some very scary looking bats. They even looked real. On the front door there was a skeleton, and it kept on repeating, "Don't enter! Save Your Soul!" There were vines and plants growing over the haunted house. On a windowsill there was even a fake Chucky. When I started walking up to the door I felt like I was going to explode! I was so freaked out. I started sweating and started to shake. I was there, all alone. I wanted to scream, but it wouldn't come out. I was getting more freaked out by every step. I actually felt like I should turn back and run. But, the haunted house made me feel sort of drawn to it. A bat flew overhead and shrieked "eek!" I went to the doorknob and reached for it. It felt slimy and gooey. I looked and saw it had red stuff on it. I took the red stuff off my hand and then the doorknob. I felt the doorknob and it felt like soft wood. It was a dark maroon color and looked big compared to my little hand. When I opened the door it creaked louder and louder until I finally opened it the whole way.

Boogla Boogla

...Boogla-Boogla August 19, 2012 Boogla-Boogla Halloween is a time of year when monsters, ghouls, and goblins roam the streets at night. In actuality, they’re usually just children or young adults dressed up to get Halloween candy in the scariest costumes they can imagine. Some dress as monsters their parents may have told them about during a bedtime story, while others dress as the most popular villain in the movies. Many people dress up as ghosts for Halloween because they either believe in ghosts, or they imagine it would scare everyone else. One might ask themselves, “What would I do if one of these fictitious creatures came to life?” or “What if a creature that I’ve never even heard of before just magically appeared?” Well, let me tell you the story about one of the scariest monsters you will ever hear of--the story of Boogla-Boogla! Boogla-Boogla was formed, not by being born or having been murdered and coming back as a ghost, but by campfire stories. Parents would take their children and their children’s friends camping, and as nightfall began to fall, they would light a fire at camp and tell the scariest stories they could think of while roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Those late-night stories actually formed a monster in early autumn of 1985. It didn’t really have a name until a parent, who was hiding waiting to scare one of his children, uttered out the name, “Boogla-Boogla!” Boogla-Boogla was first thought to be a ghost since he always hung around...
