A Ghost Story One winter, I stayed at my grandparents house during the school holidays. I never liked going there. I loved my grandparents, but hated the house. It was huge and very old and there were always a lot of strange noises, especially at night. One night, I was half asleep in bed, listening to the wind outside when suddenly there was a loud banging at the window. I was so frightened I couldn't move. I shouted, 'Grandma! Grandpa!' but they didn't hear me. There was another big bang at the window, like someone wanted to break it. I still didn't move, too scared to get up and pull the curtain back to see what was there. An hour later, at about midnight, the same thing happened - Bang! Bang! Bang! on the glass. This time, I got up and walked to the window. I was so scared, but I quickly pulled back the curtain and saw... snow! There was nothing moving but snowflakes, but then I saw the footprints. There were two sets of footprints, one coming to the window and another that disappeared into some trees near the house. I put my coat on and followed the marks in the snow. Under the trees, there was an old man with long white hair cutting wood with a huge sharp axe. He turned and looked at me, his eyes like fire and ran after me all the way to the house. I closed the door quickly just before he got there. The next day, I told my grandparents and they laughed and said, 'Oh, Yasmin, you just met your great grandfather! He was a very unhappy man, who died in your bedroom.'
