On March 31, there was a function at my neighbour’s house. My cousins and I had gone there. During our conversation, the topic of ghosts came up and we discussed some ghost stories. As it was getting late, I informed my mom that I was going home and she told me that she would come back in an hour. I went straight home and slept.
I was woken up by a loud noise. I looked at the clock and it was half an hour past midnight and my mother still hadn’t come home. I was terrified. I looked out of the window only to see two people wearing white standing outside. I was frightened and did not know what to do. Someone was knocking on the door continuously. I picked up courage and opened the door. There stood my cousins, screaming “April Fool!” I remembered that it was April 1. I tried to cook up some story that I wasn’t scared, but in vain. I realised that my parents were the “ghosts” in white.
It was a scary experience, but enjoyable and I would never forget it.
