The Haunting of the Old Yellow House on Millard Road
James, a bright young boy with a sparkle in his eye, wanted to spend a night at the old yellow house on Millard Road to prove a legend wasn’t true.
People say that in the early 1800s, a man who collected many rare treasures and strange artifacts went missing with his wife, but no one knows how. It is said that the spirit of the man still haunts the house to this day. Children in the area hear strange sounds when there’s a full moon.
A long time ago, the town’s kids made a bet to spend the night at the haunted house. When the moon was full, they had to do it. They were supposed to take a picture of the ghost, find one of the missing items, and get out of the house before sunrise.
James didn’t believe in ghosts and wanted to prove to everyone he was right. Did James make a mistake by accepting the challenge when he didn’t believe the legend?
