Do you believe in ghosts
or have you ever slept in
a house where someone
killed himself? I have and
this is my story.
During the holiday break, I
went to visit my step-grand-
mother Alenka. It was the
first time I was about to
sleep in her house.
However, in the end, I
didn’t sleep in her house.
Alenka told me that I can
sleep in a house which is
right next door. She was
taking care of it because

has the keys. I asked my-
self, why not?  So I agreed
to her offer. That day I got

make her agree to my offer
to sleep in that house. She
didn’t want to sleep there
and I had no idea why.
We’ve spent the whole day
cleaning the house because
there was a huge mess.

the mess. When we cleaned
the whole house we took off
to our houses to get a din-

and drank some hot tea.
At eight o’clock I noticed
Anna heading to “our ”
house. I grabbed my back-
pack and headed there too.
Firstly we both went to
a bathroom to clean our-
selves and then we start-
ed doing stupid things. We
watched horror movies and
told each other some scary
stories. Suddenly we heard
a crash coming from the
next room.  We got scared
to death.
Me, being the braver one,
I went to take a look at
what had happened. When
I entered the dining room
