A Scary StoryСтрашная историяThis story happened to me when I was 9 years old. It was a Halloween night and we had some guests over. There were my uncle with his wife and my cousins: Arthur and Ian. Some of my school friends were also around, so we decided to play hide-and-seek. Arthur suggested playing in the basement, as it’s more intriguing. He secretly told me that he wanted to scare his little brother. Everybody agreed, so we went downstairs. Our basement was rather spacious and full of old junk. It was easy to find the place for hiding. The game had started and I was supposed to count to twenty. While I was counting, I suddenly heard a scream. I knew it was Ian, so I didn’t pay any attention. Surely, I thought it was Arthur’s plan. However, he wouldn’t stop screaming and one of my schoolmates joined him. I asked them what’s wrong and Ian, who was hiding behind the old bureau, said that he saw a ghost. My schoolmate Tim confirmed. Everybody left their hiding spots and ran to me. We were now afraid to move. Ian said there was something white moving towards the door. Tim also saw it. I asked Arthur whether it was his trick, but he persistently denied it. He said he wouldn’t play such scary tricks. In a minute we heard a strange noise at the basement door. Tim agreed to check who or what was it. When he approached the door, he started screaming again. There was something or someone small hiding there. It was wearing white garments. We decided that it was a ghost of a child. As nobody wanted to go alone, we decided to go there all together. Imagine how surprised we were to find out that it was my 6-year old sister Helen under a white sheet. She just wanted to scare us to death. Well, in case with Ian and Tim she had definitely succeeded.
