You approach the steps. Did that gargoyle just blink? You shake your head and slowly climb the staircase, the old wooden boards creaking beneath your feet.

You are halfway up when you hear movement from above. Footsteps?

You pause and listen. Everything is quiet again. You take a deep breath and continue.

You reach the second floor. There are three doors, all closed.

You move towards the first one. You reach out for the doorknob, but just before you touch it, a moaning sound comes from within.

You snatch your hand back and listen.

‘Get out!’ says the voice.

You take a sudden step backwards and trip over your own feet.

‘Get out!’ it repeats. ‘Get out of the house. Run! Run away!’ And then it laughs.

Your first impulse is to do as it says – to run away.

But what would your friends say if they found out that you had fled. After all, you don’t really believe in ghosts – do you?

If you want to overcome your fear and open the door, go here.

If you think it will be safer to leave, go here.
