Fletcher's Ghost Part 1

One hazy dark night, the house was silent as an empty room. All the lights were on except for the third floor. No one understood why the lights on the third floor would not turn on. The fault with the lights did not reside on the user since everyone gave it a try at flipping the switches. The wires were checked, the bulbs replaced, even the constant banging on the switches did not work. The occupants on the third floor began to have double-thoughts of sleeping in their rooms. How could they sleep anyways without being able to see where they were walking? Everyone reassured them that it must just be a circuit breaker that had tripped and a quick call to Public Safety tomorrow morning would get it all fixed. In the mean time, a couple of flash lights will suffice. The habitants of the third floor stare at each other in question and did not move for some time, thinking about what if it wasn’t a circuit breaker and instead something else… something more terrifying. Finally, one of the girls that is staying on the third floor took the flash light and declared, “What’s the worse that can happen, I’ll just go straight to bed and that’s that”. Someone else replied, “I don’t know, this house just gives me that weird feeling and I thought on the way up to the door I saw something moving on the third floor”. One of the guys just wanted to call it a night since it was almost approaching midnight and everyone had to be up by 9:00am the next morning, so he reassured the girls that he’ll go up there and check things out with the flashlight first. The girls looked at each other almost as if in protest, but did not say anything and just nodded in agreement. The brave guy took the flashlight and headed up the stairs to the third floor. As he walked up the stairs, each step ended in a loud creak that vibrated throughout the walls. Slowly the guy’s form disappeared into the darkness and only his light could be seen. As he turns the corner to head into one of the rooms, the creaks faded and all becomes silent again. A couple of minutes pass and it had become as silent as before. More minutes pass and there was no sign of our brave hero… Everyone looks at each other and no words were said but the fright was seen in everybody’s eyes.
