Day 29: The Lights Are Always On--Part Two

More than ever strange sounds are coming from the haunted house.  I have tried convincing my grandfather to leave, but to no avail.  He is very confident.  About what I do not know.  Whatever it is I hope he is right because things are getting worse and worse every day.


            Today the sounds stopped--nothing has happened in a while.  The town has been completely silent.  It is almost more eerie than before having heard all of the sounds from the haunted house. 
            My grandfather has been smiling nonstop and I don’t know why.  I have tried asking him, but he won’t explain.  He just tells me to keep silent and watch the house.


            Finally, something happened today.  I was watching the haunted house, when the door began opening.  I held my breath and my grandpa leaned forward in his chair by the window. 
            The door swung open fully and to my surprise an ordinary human being stepped outside.  It wasn’t a spirit or a ghost.  Just a regular man.
            The man laughed as he walked down the front porch steps.
            “I knew it,” muttered my grandfather.
            “Knew what?” I asked. 
            He didn’t answer but sat at the window watching the man.  After a few more minutes, more people began exiting the house.  In all there were thirteen of them.
            “Selfish dirt-bags,” my grandfather said.
            I don’t know what he meant, but I’m sure I’ll soon find out.



            Yesterday is the day it went down.  The night before yesterday the supposedly haunted house was again filled with laughing and music.  This time it didn’t scare me because I knew it was real people.  That same night my grandfather explained to me what was happening.  And on that same night we hatched a plan to put a stop to these people’s plans.
