Whatever happened to the old lady that lived next door.
Several stories were told about her.
Some say she was a witch and some believed she was a spirit.
She only comes out, when she wants to.
Nobody ever really understood her motives and nobody ever will.
If you pass by her window, most of the times it is dark.
When she wants you to see her, you will see her standing in front of the window looking out.
Now don't always listen to the rumors because sometimes you will see her in her garden, tending to the weeds.
Many people who have tried to talk to her, say she is deaf.
Well I now live next door to her, and I will get to know what she is all about.
Maybe she is just not comfortable with her living arrangements.
Rumor has it that her husband had passed away in the house and is buried in the back yard.
The best way to get to know someone is to talk with them yourself.
So I went next door and rang her bell.
Maybe a few times before someone had answered the door.
It was her doorman, and he seemed not much younger then her.
He told me to come back after the sun goes down.
I felt that it was a little odd that he couldn't give me a set time.
So I smiled and went back home, but at the same time I was thinking why would he say that.
Anyways, maybe that is the message she gave to him to tell anyone who dared to approach her doorstep.
Well out of curiosity I set up a camera to put into her house.
It's a small one that nobody would notice.
After the sun had set, I had went back to her place.
This time she had answered the door.
I brought over an apple pie to welcome her as my friend.
I had just moved in, but at the same time I wanted to know who my neighbors really were.
She invited me in and the minute she went to the kitchen to make us some tea, I planted the spy camera in a place she would not see but I can see everything that is happening in her place.
After spending a little bit of time at her place, I went home.
Put on my computer to see what is happening over there.
The funny thing is I didn't see her but I saw a ghostly looking figure pacing across the floors.
It was so odd because I was actually talking to her before and now in the computer all I see is images fading.
I don't even see the doorman.
It creeped me out and I felt weird so I went to bed and decided to look again tomorrow.
The next day I looked outside and saw her walking into her garden again.
But on the computer all I saw was ghostly looking images in her home.
This didn't seem right.
I searched on the internet about ghosts.
It said they only appear when they want you to notice them.
A ghost or spirit comes into forms of what they want you to see.
If there was a real family living there, then we would see who they are.
But ghosts comes faded and unclear.
So after the sun had set I went back to the old woman's house to collect my baggage.
I tried to touch her but she moved away quickly.
I realized if I can't touch her then she can't be real.
I wiped my eyes because I thought maybe just maybe I am seeing things.
But I wasn't and everyone had to know the truth.
So I went through my video when I got home and realized there was nothing on it.
It didn't make sense because I saw images on my computer.
I then realized the best thing to do is to try to sneak in her house before the sun sets.
Maybe i will get my answers.
So the next day i had this big plan to go into her home.
I knew no one would be there because of what the doorman had said.
So i snuck inside the bedroom window and to my surprise, i had seen a coffin.
So I went up to the coffin and looked inside and saw the old woman.
But she was not looking up at me.
I saw many coffins in different rooms.
I then realized, is that how she traps her victims.
I kept looking and saw a coffin with my name engraved on it.
It freaked me out because maybe the rumors are right.
Maybe she is a spirit, trapped inside inside this place.
As I was trying to escape,
I felt my body fall into a pit.
I couldn't talk, and I couldn't breathe.
Next thing I realized I was lying into a dark coffin.
Bodies were all around me and I couldn't move.
I was frozen in time.
Then before I realized I was waking up in my bed.
Was this all a dream?
Did I really die and come back to life.
I then realized " never trust a stranger ."
