Mogol slowly opened the door. It made a loud creak as he did so. They went inside. Mogol shone his light around. There were cobwebs everywhere. The walls were black with dust. They could see a bunch of doors to other rooms, and two stairways going up and down at their left.

"What next, Mogol?"Iggy asked.

Suddenly the wind picked up, and the front door shut. Jeff tried to open it, but it was locked. They could hear creaking of floorboards, as if someone was in there with them.......

Jeff and Iggy cluched each other in fright.

"wa-wa-wa-wa-what was that!?"Iggy asked.

"Do you hear it!?"Jeff asked.

Mogol shook his head.

"Seriously, you two! Get a hold of yourselves! It was just the wind, and the house settling, that's all. Let's take a look around."

As they walked on, Jeff spoke.

"What if there's ghosts here? Even Iggy was a skeptic before Polmire forest!"

Mogol made no reply. After some time, They split up. Mogol went down into the basement, and Jeff and Iggy went upstairs. Iggy and Jeff stood at the top of the stairs a moment. They heard Mogol say something from the basement. A thump on the stairs made them jump, and they continued walking down the corridors.

"I wish Leona was here. Then I wouldn't be as frightened."Jeff said.

"Yeah, afraid she's not in situations like this."Iggy added.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind them. They spun around, only to find that it was Mogol.

"Don't creep up behind us like that!"Jeff exclaimed.

Mogol laughed.

As they walked, they came to the end of the hallway. It branched off left and right.

As they came closer to it, a glowing figure was passing from the right. It's head turned to look at them, as it passed. After it passed, it came backward a few paces, turned to them, and in a sleepy way, said:"Booooooo....."

They cried out and ran back down the hallway, and into a room. There was nothing in it, except a coat rack, which began to turn, revealing a ghost hung up like the coats.

"Hello!"it exclaimed as it went around.

They left the room, and saw a sheet-like ghost flying down the hall, yet this was no sheet. They went down the stairs, and into the dining room..... where they saw skeletons seated at the table. They suddenly got up, and began to dance about curiously.

They ran back to the front door, where a mist was building up.

"Hurry, Mogol! Get the door open!"Iggy cried.

The mist formed a huge dragon, which roared loudly.

The front door would not budge. Suddenly, it opened by itself.

They ran out of there, and as far away as they could! They went back to Jeff's house, and stayed there that night, barely able to sleep!
