Halloween ghost story

Dear students,
Halloween is next week and we are celebrating it with our own ghost story. I wrote the beginning and you should continue it according to your imagination. You can start posting comments to continue it, but please follow the rules.
1. Each comment mustn’t have more than 150 words.
2. Each student can comment only two times.
3. Try to keep the initial tone and don’t forget to mention the characters who are already part of the story.
4. You may add new characters, human or not, as long as they fit the story. Don’t forget to describe them.
5. If two of you post almost at the same time, the last entry will be deleted or you can edit it according to the previous post.
6. Don’t write your paragraph directly in the comment box – copy it from a word document previously written.
7. Pay attention to the previous details and don't complicate the story too much.
8. Be creative and have fun!
It was foggy and cold on that dark moonless night. One could hear cats disturbingly crying and screaming as if they were being tortured by shadows. The small village was sleeping, but Dr. Farrow was returning home from Jake’s house. “Why can’t I find a reason for those strange scars on Jake’s body? Where did they come from? They keep appearing from nowhere… And all that agony… The man is in so much pain and I can’t help him” – he thought. Suddenly, a dog started barking furiously and Dr. Farrow got startled in a jump, feeling his heart bumping in his chest. He took some minutes to recover and continued his way home. His house was in the woods just outside the village, and there he lived with his wife and daughter. “Strange… the lights are on” – he thought while opening the door. He couldn’t understand the terrible picture he saw next: Marian and Eve, his wife and daughter, were sitting on the sofa and they didn’t look human. Their faces were very pale covered in purple veins, their eyes were all white and they had a frightening smile. “We were waiting for you, Daddy!” – it wasn’t Eve’s voice anymore, it was the voice of a monster.

  2. GONÇALO!!! You weren't supposed to finish the story!!! Did you read the rules? 150 words at most and you should only write the next step of the story. Then, your classmates will continue it. Please, edit your comment or delete it and post it again after some changes.

  3. In his mind, he tried to find a racional explanation for this but his mind started to feel confused and his body numb. When he could reach the big mirror of the hall, he was astonished when he saw that he was exactly with the same aspect as his wife and daughter. Someone knocked on the door and he went to open it.
    To his surprise, it was Jake that had suddenly recovered and locked just them all.
    -May I come in? – He asked
    -Yes, sure, but when I went to your house, why didn’t you tell me you could come here? – asked Dr. Farrow.
    -Only because this is a very private party – he answered
    Dr. Farrow was more and more confused, and couldn’t understand what was going on that night…

  4. Dr.Farrow was chocking with all that, His body as paralyze. “Come here sweat, don´t be afraid” said Marian. In that moment Dr.Farrow didn’t know who his he feeling, He was sad, scary, and confuse with all that, so he start running out of that place, crying and screaming , answer his self what he do wrong to deserve that. When he arrived the village, he noted something was strange to, all the people were waked. Suddenly a door opened, and Dr.Farrow saw the must horrible image he ever saw. His bestfriend, James, as became a zombie, his face was green and full of scratches, and he was singing repeatly “I want to kill Farrow, I want to kill Farrow”. Dr.Farrow life was ruined, all the people that he loves were dead, and they wanted to kill him. Dr. Farrow close his eyes and started crying...
