Ominous clouds loom above the creepy old two-storey house at the top of the hill. The boards are grey, the paint peeling and curling. Weeds grow in the gutters. The picket fence is falling apart. The gate leading to the overgrown garden has broken off its hinges.

You wonder if you should go in.

Your mind runs through what you know about this sad, ancient house …

No one has lived in it for years. Past residents have met with tragedy, misfortune – even death. You’ve done the research.

You know that in the 1800s, an archaeologist owned the house – until one day his wife came home to find him mummified.

You know that in the early 1900s, a middle-aged man blew himself up in the backyard.

You know that in the 1960s, an eight-year-old boy was murdered by his insane nanny.

There was also something about a soldier mauled to death by dogs.

And your friends are pretty sure that the house is haunted – they even call it Spook House.

You, on the other hand, are not so sure it’s haunted … and that’s what has got you into this mess. You told your friends, Anna and Josh, that you didn’t believe the ghost stories and so they dared you to go into the house.

So here you are, standing outside, wondering if you should go in. Anna and Josh haven’t shown up to meet you like they said they would. Do you go in anyway?

If you decide to be bold and enter through the front door, go here.

If you think it might be better to cautiously slip around the back, go here.

Since your friends haven’t bothered to show up, maybe you should just head home instead? Go here.
