HAUNTED HOUSE
The Old Mansion I decided to look at the old mansion near Honeycliffe that was up for sale It had remained unoccupied for a couple of years It was a beautiful building but looked quite desolate whilst boarded up The mansion had belonged to an earl He was a young man of twenty-five He was married to popular and well-known socialite called Rebecca She was apparently quite beautiful And the life and soul of many a party They had been married for two years It was rumoured that Rebecca was having an affair with a local musician When the earl heard about the rumours he went into a period of depression He didn't want to believe the rumours On one night he heard that his wife was with the musician at his home in the city He flew into a rage and drove his Ferrari out of the garage He was determined to confront his wife and the musician The mansion was half an hour from the city And the country roads were narrow and dangerous He was driving too fast and the care left the road It fell down into a ditch and smashed into some trees The Ferrari was wrecked and the earl was close to death A driver passed by the incident and noticed the smoke coming from the car He pulled over and crawled down into the ditch He found the earl trapped in the car With his last breath he said, "Tell my wife I love her and I forgive her" I hoped that the mansion would offer me a better life I looked around the building and was most impressed The mansion had several excellent bedrooms And a splendid Dining Room The grounds were undulating and expansive I fell in love with the place And I decided I wanted to buy the place I got into my car and started to drive back to the city Along the way I started to put my foot down I felt a little out of control Suddenly the car started to skid and left the road The car smashed into a tree and I passed out Five days later I woke up in hospital My wife was at my side I had been in a coma for five days since the accident We decided not to buy the mansion Too many bad memories were attached to the place It remains boarded up and unoccupied The spirits of the dead are free to wander through the empty rooms Until some brave soul decides to try and set them free.
