Ghosts

“Hey, give me that Dawson,” I said.

“Knock it off you two,” Dad said. “We have to pack to go to our new house.”

When we got there I yelled, “I call the big room.” But then Kayla put all of her stuff there, so I yelled, “I call the small room” and Kayla said, “it is all yours”.

When I unpacked, I laid on my bed and said, “I am not falling asleep,” and next thing you know I fell asleep.

When I woke up I heard a noise in my closet. I got up and looked, but nothing was there. I searched around in my bright pink night gown. I went downstairs, and I saw a ghost. I screamed. Then the lights came on and Dad was standing there with a stupid look on his face.

I told him everything, but he did not believe me. He just warmed up some milk and sent me to bed.

When I woke up, I stole all of Dawson’s spy gear and went outside. I put the video cameras outside and hooked them to my phone.

After I was done, I ran to the store and bought video cameras and 3 pounds of chocolate. The video cameras were to set up inside the house and the chocolate was because if I die, I will die with my favorite food.

I got all of the video cameras inside the house all set up and the only thing left to do was to fake going to bed and then wait.

“Autumn, it is time to go to bed,” Olivia said.

“Ok, I will.” I hopped in my bed, and she tucked me in. When she left, I turned on my light and waited.

Then the ghost came. I caught it on video and then I fell asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I showed my family the video and then they said, “Sorry” cause they did not believe me. But then I said, “It’s ok.” After that we moved into a new house and we lived happily ever after.
