Hi, I’m Mary, I’m going to tell you about a bizarre thing that happened to me and my crew, the Ghost Blasters! Get it, Ghost Busters, Ghost Blasters?

Ok, it all begins with my brother screaming “Mum, Mary hit me!”

“Did not!” I replied

“Did to,” murmured Alix

“Ok kids settle down” said mum calmly.

Just then, we hear, ‘DING DONG’!

I opened the door,

“Wasup Alix,” said Harry.

“Hey Mary,” said Sofia.

“Oh, your brother’s here.” sighed Mary

“Heeeeeyyyyyy Mary, look what I can do, “Peter Piper picked some pickled peppers.” 

“Like no one else can do that." I chuckled 

I know what you're thinking ‘who are these people’? Well, I can tell you that at least one of them is my best friend, now, back to the story.

We started walking upstairs and suddenly, it started raining, A LOT!

“What, how is this possible, it was bright and sunny just a few moments ago.” said Sofia

Suddenly, Harry stopped and shouted, “What is that... thing over there?”

“Looks like mum’s white towel.” replied Alix

“Well white towels don’t float, do they, obviously.” I said,

“Then what is it?” Harry replied.

We looked at each other baffled, and then at the same time, ran into my room. I slammed the door shut and locked it in complete panic. But surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, it’s hard to tell with him), in what I could only imagine his weird attempt to impress me, Harry stood tall, his arms crossed.

“Ok, am I crazy or did we all see a bath towel, defying the laws of gravity?” said Sofia

Yes, you're crazy because we all know that was a ghost, even I know that and I am in year 3.” said Harry.

“Why is it so chilly in here?” said Alix.

“Because the window is open, let me close it” I replied… AAAAAHHHHHHHH!”

“What is it?” yelled Alix.

“My hands are covered in goo!” I shrieked.

And them a loud bang on the other side of the door, bang, thud, until “RAAAAAAAAAA” the door flies open, and a ghastly ghost appeared in front of our eyes.

“What do we do!” screamed Sofia. “How do we get rid of it!”

“Use a big hoover,” shouted Harry

“A Dyson, or Henry” I joked

“No time for jokes!” Harry replied, “Any hoover”!

I grabbed the hoover, pointed it at the beast, turned it on to the max and sucked the hell out of it until there was nothing but thin air.

It was now dead, and we hear footsteps coming up the stair. Luckily it was only my mum bringing us some juice and biscuits.

“Didn’t you hear all that racket?” We asked her,

“No, I didn’t hear a thing” she replied, “you guys were quiet as like little mice.”

“Why, what happened up here?” she quired

“Nothing you need to know.” we giggled

And we lived happily ever after. Except when my mum went to empty the hoover, but that’s a story for another day!

There it all began in the dark,gloomy woods.I had heard it for a while but didn't think much of it until now. I had been hearing whispers and muffled voices coming from the woods next my house. My mum passed away recently and ever since then I have been hearing all this,at least I thought that she had passed…

The next day my dad had to leave for a business trip but he wasn't worried as he had hired someone to look after me. This lady that he had hired looked kind and friendly. Her name was Alice Longbottom. Now Alice was left with me for a whole two days while my dad had left me but she ended up only staying for two hours. After she left I tried to act like a cool teenager since I am the best fourteen year old girl to be named Isa. I threw a house party inviting all my friends. I had told them about the whispers and muffled voices. I tried to convince them to stay with me until my dad came back from his trip.

All of them rejected, they were too scared except from my best friend Bella. She asked me if I wanted to investigate but I said no because I was frightened to go. With a lot of convincing I was convinced. We planned to go the next day. We slept in the same room hearing the same sounds. I was going to take my words back after hearing it once again until Bella encouraged me to be brave and to get through it.

 After a lot of encouragement we made a deal to go at that exact time. At 2:53 a.m. We put on our coats and shoes and began our investigation. As we got deeper and deeper into the spooky woods, the voice grew louder and louder. We decided to follow the whispers and it led us to an abandoned cabin. “HELP HE IS GOING TO EAT ME!” Those exact words were muffled loud and clear coming from the cabin. 

We took a sneak peak in and saw something that shocked us completely. It was a monster with ten arms, red glowing eyes, the body of a horse and horns going right down its bony back. That wasn’t the only shocking thing in that abandoned cabin… MY MUM WAS THERE TOO! I was stunned and so was Bella. In stutters she asked, I - Isn’t th-th that y-y your m-m mum?

 “Y-yes” I replied. We were too scared to move on because we were frightened after that encounter.  We went back home safely and still couldn’t sleep but we would be able to sleep better soon. The next day we went back ready and prepared. 

“Isa I see your mum and the monster’s not there so we can save her!” Bella exclaimed. 

“I know, “ I replied.

We slowly untied the knot. 

“Thanks darling,” mum gasped. 

We safely got back home altogether.
