THE LAUGHING GHOST
 
One night while my parents were out at diner I sat at home alone 
in my room with the tv on. It was raining pretty hard outside and 
I started to worry if my parents would ever get home because it 
was getting pretty late.  the phone rang so I picked it up of 
course, it was my Dad telling my that they would be a little later 
then they thought and he just wanted to check up on me. "I'm fine 
dad dont worry, you and mom have fun". I said. "ok" he said. I got 
back to watching tv then I decided to watch a scary movie one 
about the girl who stays home alone and the phone ring she picks 
it up and its the killer saying he out to get her she hangs up he 
calls back saying he's closer she calls the police and they trace 
the call he truns out to be up stairs so at this point im pretty 
scared and to top it off the power goes out so i get under my 
cover about to piss my pants then the phone rings so slowly i get 
up to answer it i pick it up and get right back under my covers 
grab the flash light from under my bed that i keep for safety and 
i slowly say "hello?" no one answers so i say "hello?" once more, 
then i decide to hang up as fast as i can. it rings again, once 
more i say "hello?" no one replys so i hang up it rings again so 
i answer by saying "look if this is some sick joke your playing 
its not funny" then i hang up all of a sudden i hear laughing 
comeing from the bathroom that is right next to my room it gets 
louder and louder untill finally it stops i slowly take the covers 
off me and there standing at my door is a man, not really a man 
but like the outline of a man a dark, shadowy outline i pull the 
covers as fast as i can back over my head and try to call my 
parents but the phone line is dead i start to think, but the 
phone was just working then i hear the front door open i loudly 
yell mom, dad hurry come here the laughing starts again i scream 
"STOP JUST STOP LEAVE ME ALONE"  my parent come running in to my 
bedroom asking "whats wrong?" i asked then if that was them
laughing thy told me no i wanted to tell them what happened about 
the man, the phone calls, everything but i didnt want them to think 
i was crazy so i kept my mouth shut and didnt say a word  every now 
and then when im alone i will hear laughing but whenever i do i 
plug my ears and shut my eyes and ignore the laughs and till this 
day my parents dont know about it at all. i would have told them 
but they would call the police and i dont want to be seen as a 
nutcase. its been 1 year since this happen and i still act as if 
it never happend.
 
       THE END
