Story Two: The Locked Room

The Locked Room

One spring day a young man called Thomson arrived in Suffolk. He wanted to spend some time in a quiet place to read and study so he went to an old house. Every morning he studied and every evening he had a drink with some of the local people. One afternoon, when he was walking he saw a large white stone with a hole in its middle and asked some of the villagers about it but they were unwilling to answer.
A few days later he decided to stay at home to study in the evening .He was alone and felt like to know what the other rooms were like but one of them was locked. He got very interested to open that room and found a key. When he entered he saw just a bed without anything else in it. Suddenly he noticed someone was in the bed. He was very terrified and immediately left the room. He was so afraid that wanted to leave the room on that day but thought may be it would be better to stay and say nothing until the day he was due to go .
While the horse waited outside with his bag he could go upstairs and take one last quick look into the room .This is what happened. He opened the door and saw there was nothing except a pile of clothes .He turned to go but something moved behind him. Actually it was the pile of clothes with a knife stuck into the front of its jacket and dried blood all down its shirt. He rushed out of the door, and then he felt every thing went black.
Later on he found a rich gentleman lived there a long time ago. Once he was attacked by a group of men to steel his money. They held him down on that big stone which he saw and killed him with a knife and that was his ghost who had come back to his bedroom.

Personal opinion

I do not believe in ghost with such freedom when people die. I think they are not free to do every thing or to go every where. I do not believe that even they have the power to frighten people, but this is the case used by writers to amuse their readers.
