One fall day, me and my friends were riding our bikes home from school. We were across in the old part of town. It start to rain and it is pouring so hard we couldn't see two feet in front of our faces. We pedaled as hard and fast as we could. Until we reached the old Tjaden mansion were we found the door open. We opened the door. It creaked as we went in to get out of the pouring rain. It is spooky and scary inside. Inside there are bats, cobwebs, paintings of a person, and a chandelier. We heard an scary noise coming from a room. It was from the person that was in the paintings. It was loud and eerie sounding like someone was running their fingernails over a chalkboard. We stopped and stared at the painting. We noticed that the person was crying. The tears were running like a dripping faucet down it's face. Then we noticed the mouth slowly opening and closing making a moaning sound. It scared us so bad that we ran outside and jumped on our bikes. Pedaling off so fast that we left ruts in the gravel. We raced to my house and hid in my room. We stayed hidden until morning hoping never to hear these scary and eerie sounds ever again.
