Personal Narrative-In The Shandow
In the Shandows
In a worn in leather passenger seat I was looking through the rolled down window. A warm summer breeze was entering the beat up green ford truck. The radio was softly playing “Blue Moon “by Elvis. Outside it was early evening and the sun was setting a lovely color of oranges and reds, it was a blissful day in along the seaside of North Carolina. In my lap was my partner in crime, little Bowie. The small Scottish terrier was sprawled out and looked like he was in a deep beauty sleep, but he always sleeps to songs from Elvis. My uncle Terrance and me were the ghost wranglers. We even made matching screen printed jackets with a ghost that was swinging a rodeo rope. On our backs. Last week my Uncle answered a call from the police of the town of Eerie. A lot of police that we have met were skeptic of the existence of supernatural spirits. The policemen that called us said that some gruesome scenes were occurring frequently from teens getting killed in an old abandoned

“Why is that there? Seems like an odd thing to have in a lost asylum?” I questioned. “ Well, there’s only one way to find out. Crack that damn door open!” My uncle went to the iron black door and started to run into the door with all of his body weight. The door did nto budge. He started over and as he was going to run into the door. I heard a feint giggle of a small kid.
“Uncle!” I yelled but it was too late as he ran into the door. The door whipped open and my uncle hit the stone floor with a thud and an explosion of dust covered his black denim jacket. He got up fom the floor and took off his jacket and gave it a quick whip to get the dust off.
“Guessing they never ha d a guest over.”He coughed, as he used his fingers to form the word HI in the dust that was on the floor. Bowie was barking and scampered all over the

    Tired, with a headache, and not in capacity to maintain my eyes open, I remembered next day was Halloween, which was the last thing I remembered before falling sleep. I woke up and saw the watch, it was three o’clock a.m. I listened to a weird sound that came from my closet; it was soft, but I could hear it like a rat scratching the walls. Intrigued about what was happening, I woke up and walked towards the closet. The sound gave me the chills.…

    My special place is the country in Bristow, Oklahoma. When I am in the country I hear the goats “baa-ing”, the stomping of their feet hitting the grass, the pigs snorting, rolling around in the mud, and the dog barking. I see my two children running around messing with the dog and running away from the daddy goat. My dad and grandpa are drinking beer and messing with a car or staring at each other. The baby goats are following their mother around everywhere. There is nothing but green grass and a bunch of energy from the animals. I smell goat poop, the pig’s nasty, natural smell they have and the fresh, beautiful, dirt road air all at the same time. I see green grass, a bunch of big, green trees, and pretty flowers bloomed. I walk behind the…

    Everyone has a peculiar location where they can go to be lost. Whether you like to be lost in a book, or maybe even your own thoughts. Regardless, as humans we desire alone time and there’s always a place we roam to. Sometimes, people do not even realize that they have a specific place for themselves. They simply go to this place through instinct or past realization that this was a soothing or relaxing place to be. Either way, it is apparent that everyone has one and you’re lying if you believe you do not.…

    In sixth grade, I stood before a podium that stared back at my English class. This was not how I envisioned sharing my love for reading and writing; however, it was required. My palms felt sticky, and I just knew that the entire class could see my heart as it was about to hop from the walls that kept it safe. I prayed that I would not forget the lines as I recited The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. In sixth grade, reading, writing, and I started a relationship. Today, we have yet to break up.…

    As a child, my family and I have always went camping during our breaks from school. It was always a tradition for us to tell stories around the campfire to see who told the scariest story to keep us all from getting a good night’s sleep that night. From the “Boogie Man” to the “Ghost in the Closet,” I believed these stories were real up until the paranormal became more of an everyday curiosity. I had always been fascinated with the paranormal by watching TV series that explained this phenomenon. By watching “Ghost Hunters” and “Ghost Adventures,” I had my heart set out on being a paranormal investigator.…
