Answer:

“Mommy told me never to go in the basement, but I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy, and I wanted to see the puppy, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I didn’t see a puppy, and then Mommy yanked me out of the basement and yelled at me. Mommy had never yelled at me before, and it made me sad and I cried. Then Mommy told me never to go into the basement again, and she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better, so I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy, or why he had no hands or feet.”

Explanation:

or this one

“When my daughter was 2, I found her twirling paper towel tubes, tied with twine, in the air. I asked her what she was doing. She said she was practicing her “nun chucks”. I was very confused as she’d have no way of knowing what they were. I asked her what she meant and she said that Adam had told her how to make them and showed her each night how to use them. She went on to say that Adam told her to practice because she may need to know how to defend herself someday. I almost freaked out, but asked her what Adam looked like. She said he was tall, blond, and had blue eyes. She said,”Mommy, you KNOW how he looks – you know him! He died of a headache.” I had to leave the room.You see, 4 months before she was born, my tall, blonde, blue eyed, martial arts-pro friend had died of a brain aneurysm at the age of 27. She has not spoken of him since that day, so I’m not sure if I scared her with my reaction or if she had completed her lessons.”

3. THERE'S SOMEONE UNDER THE BED

Sometimes the very short ghost stories are the best, and this tale, from Reddit via Buzzfeed, tells the story of a father putting his young son to bed:

“I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy, check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy, there’s somebody on my bed.””

4. THE CHAIR

This short tale starts benignly enough, with a friendly-seeming ghost playing with children, but when you learn the origins of the ghost – and just why the ghost is moving the object around the room, it quickly gets a lot creepier. Submitted via Reddit by Scoopwhoop:

“When my sister Betsy and I were kids, our family lived for awhile in a charming old farmhouse. We loved exploring its dusty corners and climbing the apple tree in the backyard. But our favorite thing was the ghost. We called her Mother, because she seemed so kind and nurturing. Some mornings Betsy and I would wake up, and on each of our nightstands, we’d find a cup that hadn’t been there the night before. Mother had left them there, worried that we’d get thirsty during the night. She just wanted to take care of us. Among the homes’ original furnishings was an antique wooden chair which we kept against the back wall of the living room. Whenever we were preoccupied, watching TV or playing a game, Mother would inch that chair forward, across the room, toward us. Sometimes she’d manage to move it all the way to the centre of the room. We always felt sad putting it back against the wall. Mother just wanted to be near us. Years later, long after we’d moved out, I found an old newspaper article about the farmhouse’s original occupant, a widow. She’d murdered her two children by giving them each a cup of poisoned milk before bed. Then she hung herself. The article included a photo of the farmhouse’s living room, with a woman’s body hanging from a beam. Beneath her, knocked over, was that old wooden chair, placed exactly in the center of the room.”

…Did it get colder in here, or is it just me?

5. THE GHOST AT HOME

In one of my favourite short ghost stories, a man thinks that he loses his phone and someone is playing a trick on him. Turns out, there is someone playing with him, but it’s a ghoul rather than a person. Submitted via Reddit by Buzzfeed:

“Last night a friend rushed me out of the house to catch the opening act at a local bar’s music night. After a few drinks I realized my phone wasn’t in my pocket. I checked the table we were sitting at, the bar, the bathrooms, and after no luck I used my friend’s phone to call mine. After two rings someone answered, gave out a low raspy giggle, and hung up. They didn’t answer again. I eventually gave it up as a lost cause and headed home. I found my phone laying on my nightstand, right where I left it.”

6. SUPER, SUPER SHORT GHOST STORIES

Finally, something a little different. The Metro wanted to put together something spooky and came up with these one or two sentence ghost stories that are designed to get you thinking – so here are my favourites.

Answer:

'THE STRANGE DREAM I HAD'

Dreams are the by-products of our inert mind.. They may be sometimes pleasant and sometimes so terrifying that they can be regarded as NIGHTMARES and you wake up shrieking.Last night, while I was watching a T.V. serial, 'Fear Files', I dozed off. I had an unpleasant sort of a dream.

I had gone for shooting of a movie as I was the only one whom the director had given the main role. We were in a famous old 'Chiitorgarh Fort' of Rajasthan. I was wearing the dress of a Queen with many jewels. As it was evening, so the director decided to continue to shot the next day and return to the hotel where we all were staying.

But I was so inquisitive and curious that I wanted to explore the fort. I was unaware of the fact that it was supposed to be haunted as the ghosts roamed about there at night. As a result, I went into the fort and everybody went back leaving me alone.

Though it was pitch dark at night, yet I wished to continue my exploration. I saw many beautiful paintings, portraits, weapons, thrones, etc. I was really fascinated by them. Then I went into the garden where there were many trees.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling the name of old Queen 'Rani Ratnavati'. I thought of looking back as an eerie sensation ran down my spine and saw that it was a ghost with a crooked nose and it was wearing a plain white-coloured dress.

Meanwhile my friends became worried of me and tried to call and contact me but the signals couldn't reach me. I ran as fast as I could but my costume didn't let me do so. So, I fell down on the ground and screamed so loudly as the ghost was going to pounce upon me.

Immediately, my grandmother woke me up and told me that I had disturbed her because of my screams in my dream. But thank God, it was only a night terror and a horrifying dream lest the ghost should have eaten me.

Now, I've thought of not watching any scary T.V. show otherwise its result would be as of gruesome and petrifying nightmares.

“Parrot in the oven” find a simile that describes manny’s relationship with work
Dovator [93]

"Without work, I was empty as a coke bottle." is the simile used to describe Manny's relation with work.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Simile is a literary device that is used to make comparison of one thing with the other. Unlike metaphor, it does not make direct comparisons. It makes comparisons with the use of words like "as" and "like" of one thing with the other.

In the lesson "Parrot in the oven", the relationship of Manny has been described with work using a simile. In this he said that without work, he was empty as a coke bottle. This showed that he really loved to work and without work he thought that there is no worth of the person.
