1. On Haloween day, lots of trick or treaters came to our home for sweets.
ReplyDeleteI was extremely surprised because this year people from my town actually celebrated Halloween.
Some children had costumes so scary and terrifying that my chubby dog, Melvin started barking. It was shaking like a leaf so i had to calm it and give it a treat.
2. One night, me and my friends had a sleepover. We were bored so we decided to watch a scary movie named “The Ghost”. Throughout the movie there were lots of frightening scenes full of tension.
At the end of the film we heard strange noises coming out of the kitchen. We were scared stiff thinking someone was in the house. Because we are very brave, we went to investigate the sounds and we found out that there was the window open and the wind caused it to make those noises. We were calmed and the sleepover continued.
3. Me and my classmates went to a one day school trip to the mountains.
There were lots of fun activities we could do but we decided to take a walk in the forest. We had a picnic, we played football and danced. On the way back to the hotel we were scaring each other with bear noises. Everything was fine until we’ve seen a cub.
That sent shivers up and down our spines because we knew that if we find a cub it’s mother was nearby. We ran fast to the hotel and we were unharmed.

ReplyDeleteThe “Hoia Baciu” Forest
This summer, me and my friends decided to go on a trip. We wanted to go to a scary or a haunted place. After we thought for a while we decided to visit de “Hoia Baciu” Forest.
After a long walk we arrived. The forest looked scarier than we imagined. Every tree was crooked or bent which sent shivers down my spine. As we entered the forest the air got cooler and mysterious fog appeared out of nowhere.
After a few minutes I realized that I got lost from my friends. I tried to find them but I unintentionally arrived in the middle of the forest. In that area the trees didn’t grow and it was considered the most mysterious place. I was already shaking like a leaf and then I heard a scary sound, it sounded like a scream, but I didn’t know if it came from an animal or a human.
I thought everything was over but after, I heard the sound of steps and branches. I was scared stiff but tried to held my breath, I didn’t dare to make a sound. I heard something behind me and when I turned around I saw my friends who looked terrified. We fleed the forest as fast as possible. I will never go back in the “Hoia Baciu” forest. A true haunted place.
….cooler and A mysterious fog appeared……

On a saturday , me and my family went to the Sighisoara Castle. We were super excited because it is a horror castle.
ReplyDeleteThere was a horror atmosphere and lots of fake smoke and spider webs.
There were a lot of mannequins dressed as vampires, mummies and zombies. We saw a lot of them and we were scared of them. Until we entered a room where there was a dead vampire in a tomb. I saw that it moved but my mother didn't believe me until the vampire screamed and scared the pants off my mother. We were laughing together and took a photo with the vampire.
After visiting the castle, we went home with a smile on our faces.
