As I opened the door, I heard the sound of footsteps from beyond. I
knew that Barbara must have been lurking around trying to find some
evidence of this castle "really" being haunted. I slowly
and softly whispered her name. "Barbara. Barbara? Is that
you?"
A low, deep voice answered. "Who are you and why have you entered
my home?"
A shiver ran down my spine as I began to worry about what I was about
to see. From a distance, I heard loud thumping and then he finally
appeared. A tall, dark haired man who looked as if he hadn't left
this castle in years. Barbara was nowhere to be
found.
