A Halloween spooky story
Fifty years ago, the Sulims were returning home from the city. It was a rainy and very cold day, something normal for their winter weather. They had gone to the cinema because it was the daughter´s seventeenth birthday, so it was, apparently, a happy day for them. But what they didn’t know was that it was going to become the worst day of their lives.
They had just bought an old house that belonged to a rich family, but the house was very particular. Years ago, before that rich family, there lived a farmer couple with their daughter, and they had the best and biggest harvest of all the surroundings. The rich family was convinced that they had to buy those lands and kick out the farmer’s family from there. But they refused. So, the rich man decided to hurt the farmers in the way that would hurt them the most: by killing their daughter. After the farmers left, the rich family could never settle in the farm, because the girl’ soul was still there.
The Sulims didn’t know anything about that story, and neither did they know that the girl would stay with them every day, every time, and everywhere.
When they were inside the car, like usual, the children were joking about a girl outside, on the road, until the daughter got pale. Her mum asked her what had happened, but she couldn’t talk from the moment that she saw a girl with a white dress. Nobody believed her, but the next day, she died…
