When we got to the Tjaden Mansion, Jada,Emily,and I were so scared to go in. But the lighting keepet getting worse. So we had no choice. When we walked inside a bat flew over our heads. Then we heard a voice coming from a room. We walked over to the room and there was a man drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. Then we asked him what he was saying and he said he was singing "Yankee Doddle". Then we saw a body in the closet and asked him if he knew who it was. He said that he didn't know but he said that he used to live here but there was a fire so they built a new house the same way as they did before so that the man would have the same feelings as before the fire. So they built the house the same way and the man found a new house that he loved even more. So he just paid the bills and lived in the other house that he loved so he just did that. But he still came to the house and drank coffee and read the news paper every day but when it came to about 3 o'clock he would go home every day at that time. So when it stooped raining the next day we started to leave the house and a bat flew over our heads again. And the man said just wait there and said do you know what time it is and we said it was? We said it was the next morning.The man just stared at the floor for a minute and he asked if he had slept here the hole night and we sad that you just talked all night long.Then we said we had to go and he said here have this $100 but don't tell anybody about this place. Then we said know you don't have to do this and he said ya just take it then we said that we have to go. He said see ya next halloween!!! We just said maybe and looked at each other and said bye! When we left the house we went to my house and Jada's and Emily's mom were at my house and when they saw us walk in they started to cry and said where were you last night? We thought you were stolen. We just said can we tell you at DQ or Subway were starving and they said "ya" you have to tell us every detail though.We just knoded and got in the car. When we got to Subway we ordered our food and told our moms every detail that there was and they said never do that again. We just said can't wait to go trick or treating next year we all just laughed!
