Haunted House
Haunted house It was a beautiful day of summer. Me and my family were moving to a new house in Pennsylvania. At the first look the house seems to be very comfortable. I looked up and saw my new bedroom, it was in the attic.

Delighted ,I went to unpack my things. Since I entered in the house I had the feeling that I was not very welcome… and I`d better go. “Nevermind” (I said in my mind).. I had the impression that this house is our “heaven”…Everything was beautiful until one night… I had my cup of hot chocolate in my hand and I was going to my bedroom to sleep because I felt tyred. The first night I slept in that room, the cold drafts from the windows told me I should have brought an extra blanket. It felt even weirder in the attic room than any other room in the house. I woke up several times at night barely able to breathe, with my blankets wrapped tightly around me. I was confused.. What happened? I would see shadows lurking outside out of the corner of my eye, but whenever I would look directly at them, they would disappear. All the lights were open and flashing… and I could hear many voices around me.. when in front of me appeared an old women .My hands trembled and I tried hard to pull my blanket over me.. then
.. EVERYTHING suddenly stop!! My brother used to tell me that at night whenever he would get up to go to the bathroom or put on a T-shirt he would fell somebody poking at his sides, now I knew what he was talking about. (At that time I thought that he was probably making fun of me) The next day I woke up and the whole room was rotating.. I had a terrible headache.. I walked down the creaking steps grasping the railing firmly to make sure I didn’t fall. I flicked the light switch on and tiptoed toward the cabinet with the tea ingredients. Once I had made myself some tea I quickly clambered toward the dining table to drink.

I drank the first cup of tea briskly and decided to make some more. I was just about to pour in the

    The Haunting of Hill House

    • 2050 Words
    • 9 Pages

    I choose to interpret the representation of cars in The Haunting of Hill House. In this novel, a car is first represented as a means of control over Eleanor by her sister (Jackson 7). However, Eleanor’s stealing of the car transforms the car into a representation of freedom from her present life (Jackson 10). The car allows Eleanor to be free of her controlled life and to begin her own journey (Jackson 10). We observe the same car at the conclusion of the novel as a device used to free herself from her forced departure of Hill House (Jackson 178). She uses the car to commit suicide, allowing her to stay at Hill House indefinitely (Jackson 182). I argue that in the novel the car is utilized for control over Eleanor but ultimately for her personal freedom. The car is what liberates Eleanor from her life prior to Hill House and also from her forced departure. I will also argue that the significance of Eleanor’s car being used for freedom is that it shows the transformation of Eleanor’s mental state. The difference in Eleanor’s idea of freedom, travel versus suicide, makes the demise of Eleanor’s mental state evident.…

    When I open the door it was like a home filled with love and purity my ideal home it was just perfect. As soon as u walk in you see an average size kitchen on the right and a big bathroom with a bedroom on the left and when you keep walking straight there is a living room and a balcony with the most spectacular view of the pier and upstairs there is a bathroom and two rooms. For the first week or so it felt like I was in heaven waking up in the morning and looking upon the whole town covered in fog going to the rocks and looking for crabs, snails, and shells. One day we decide to go to the ocean and although it was cold we went and started searching for shells and then we found something that I happen to know what it was but never actually felt it alive and fresh out the water. I picked it up and showed it to my friend and we started running to the apartments and showed everyone what we found,everyone had their mouths open and started to touch it. There was a tiny voice that started to say to put the purple starfish back because it deserves to live and so i went back and tried to go as deep as I can to lay it down so no one will harm it. For many days we went to the beach till sunrise to sunset watching the tides rise and decrease and seeing the…

    Annie has now lived in the sepulchral castle for three months. She, nor her family, have had any paranormal encounters, but Annie still postulates that there is someone or something living in the shadows of her home. One dreary evening while her parents were having a dinner party for some of the wealthy people of the town, Annie excuses herself and goes off exploring. She figures that while her parents were distracted, it was the perfect time to go into the forbidden room. Annie creeps down the long hallway, where it seems as if every board of the hardwood flooring creaks as she steps as lightly as possible on them. She reaches the door, and puts her hands on the ice cold doorknob. She turns the doorknob and pushes the door inward, as it eerily…
