Read the short story.
"Haunted"
A | The house was built in the middle of the 18th century and some signs could still be found that it had once been a famous meeting place for people who likedplaying card games. By the time it was bought by my aunt and uncle some two hundred years later  1 it had been owned by a long list of different people whose names are recorded on the title deeds. Asit is situated by the sea, it became a favourite place for various members of the family to visit. It also had an added attraction — it was haunted, at least so my uncle said. |
B | To this day ofcourse it never had been proved. The story according to my uncle was that at certain times of the day, incidentally at all times when the house was only occupied by 2 him, a small figure appeared at thebottom of the stairs in the shape of an old lady and held firmly in her hands what appeared to be a walking stick. She waited a moment, looked up the stairs, climbed a few steps to check as if she wasbeing watched and then suddenlyshe could no longer be seen. |
C | At this stage in the story  3 it must be pointed out that my uncle was a man blessed with a vivid imagination. Once he even convincedhis wife shortly after they got married that he was hypnotized when they visited the theatre. This turned out to be his excuse for falling asleep because he was bored. She could not be persuaded. Buthe was quite definite about the little old lady. "You just wait" he used to say "till you see her. Then you will be convinced. " The trouble with the younger generation is that they refuse to believeanything unless it it is presented to them on a plate. He claimed thathe was endowed with special psychic powers because he was the seventh son of a seventh son. That was a fact that couldn't bedisputed. Personally, I didn't believe a word about this so-called ghost. But then when you are invited to someone's house you have to be polite. |
