My mom took longer than I expected to get back home to make dinner, so I just made a small snack for myself in the kitchen. It was dark and I thought my mom was in a long line or she remembered a few more things we needed. I set up Netflix on my phone and I ate downstairs while watching some a scary movie. About 10 minutes after I sat down, I heard a sound outside. I jumped up to see if someone was home, no one was. The back door was open and I thought it was the dogs playing on the

    One night Lynse, Sophia, Macy, and I were hanging out. It was around 10 o'clock when we decided to go outside and jump on the trampoline. When we got out there we were having so much fun. We were doing flips and playing games, just doing our normal thing. After awhile all of a sudden, we all heard this noise. Right, next to Lynses house there is woods and cornfields so it made it more creepy. Then we all looked by her shed and we saw this huge shadow. We didn't know what it was but our first instinct was that it was a cat but it wasn't. Again it made this noise and we knew that it was a raccoon. We all went to grab our phones to call her dad but we forgot that we had put them under the trampoline for light since it was so light. We were all nervous to get…
