  1. The Haunted House

    Share Share Post
    There were two brothers and their mother and father were dead. Their grandfather took care of them for a long time until one day their grandfather got ill and when he was dying he gave the youngest brother the most money. At this the eldest brother got jealous and he killed his little brother. When he was going to bed one night he saw his brother's face looking at him from the bottom of the bed. And when ever he would walk he would hear footsteps coming after him. Then after a few years people came to live in the house and it is said that they heard footsteps, after them, so they left the house.
