The Headless Spirits.
Chapter 1
14 year old Katie Turner and her parents moved into an old Victorian 2 story house not knowing the history behind it. It had been abandoned for five years before they bought it and there were many stories about it. It had been the scene of a very horrific and multiple murders and the spirits still haunted it. Katie did not believe this since she did not believe in that sort of thing but was investigating anyway.
However when things started happening that was unexplained she started believing and wondering if maybe these things were true. However when she did research on the stories, nothing came up. “There isn't a thing on the house." she said as she closed another book. She then looked at the clock and realized she had better get home so she gathered up her books and left the library.
She took out her i-pod and put the ear buds to her ears. She hoped on her bike and headed for home. As she approached she felt a cold chill that made her shiver. “It isn't that cold outside." she said to herself as she reached her house and parked her bike. She took the ear buds out and shoved the I-pod back into her back pack. “Mom." she said as she sat her back pack down on the sofa.
She began to search around and as she was searching she saw the blood splatters all over. She began to panic and frantically searched for her mom. She reached the bathroom and heard water running. “Mom you in here?" she asked as she turned the knob. She noticed it was wet with something and as she looked down her hand was covered in blood. She then opened the door and found the lifeless, headless body of her mom lying in the bathtub.
She screamed and ran over to her mom even though she knew she was dead. She reached in the bathtub and pulled her dead mother out. “Mom." she screamed as she threw the body back into the bathtub. She got up and left the house and down the road screaming.
A neighbor heard the screams and went out to investigate. He spotted her covered in blood and ran over. “Are you ok dear?' he asked as he approached her. She looked at him through her tear stained eyes. “My mom is dead.” she said as she struggled to get the words out. The guy reached for his cell phone and when he turned around he spotted her running back down the road towards the house.
He ran after her with the 911 operator on the line. When he found her she was sitting beside her mother's body. He then turned and ran out of the house because he was about to get sick and needed air. He wasn't wanting to stay, but he knew he had too because he could not leave the scene until the authority's arrived.
When he was outside he could fell the cold chills. He then heard the sirens and hung up. He should have left then but he didn’t. The police than asked him questions and as soon as he answered they sent him home. The cops entered and right away realized that it looked like a scene straight out of a horror movie. There were at least two dozen cops there, plus the crime scene unit, detectives, uniformed officers, the coroner, and a social worker. The cops found the little girl sitting beside the headless body of her mother.
The house was taped off and the investigation was started. They searched everywhere and could not find the head of the mother, but found a note instead telling them to get out of his house. “Not sure what happened but we have a murder on the loose carrying around a severed head." one of them said. So they finished their work and left. They heard the stories too but did not believe them.
However as they were leaving they saw a mysterious black creature descend from the house holding the severed head in one hand and a knife looking tool in the other. They then shouted freeze and called for back-up, but when back-up arrived the creature had disappeared.
The mysterious creature than re entered the house and descended back into the wall and ate the head of the dead woman and waited for his next victim.
Later that night
Katie was released to the custody of her Father and she was upstairs working on some research about the house. Her dad was downstairs and watching the news. She was so absorbed in her work that she did not see the headless spirit of her mom approaching her. She felt a cold breeze to make sure that the windows were closed and to her surprise they was. She then rubbed her arms before getting up to get a blanket. As she was sitting back down she saw the ghost of her mother sitting on her desk and she screamed really loud.
She ran out of the room screaming and went to the living room where her father was and screamed when she found his lifeless, headless, and cold body still sitting in his recliner. She knew he was dead but she picked up his body anyway and screamed as she threw it back down in the chair. She then ran out of the housed and down the street screaming.
The neighbors heard the screaming and went out to investigate. They then found Katie covered in blood and screaming “ My daddy is dead. My daddy is dead.” she screamed. One of the neighbors called 911 while the others stayed behind to try and keep her from running back to the scene. The officers than came with detectives, the coroner, investigators, and un uniformed officers. They then started questioning everyone including Katie and once again no one knew a thing. So they headed down to the house and the crime scene tape was quickly put up. They saw the headless body of her father and it was taken away. They then searched all over the house for the father’s severed head and once again came up with nothing but a note that was exactly like the first.
“ For fuck sakes what is going on in this house?” the lead detective said as he picked up the note and put it in the baggie. So the investigation was done and everyone turned and left the house. As they were leaving they all spotted the same black mysterious creature and once again back up was called. However, this time someone took some pictures of the creature but when the pictures was developed nothing was there. However, the pictures was distorted in the place where the creature should have been. So they knew something was there but did not know what it was.
Chapter 2
The detective threw down the file that he was looking at on his desk and rubbed his eyes. He wished that he could figure out what was going on at that house. Detective Langley walked in then. “ Good morning Detective Terrence.” he said as he walked over to his desk and sat down. “ Morning.” he said as he picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip. “ I have been going over the file of the Turner murders all morning and have not found anything.” he told him
Detective Langley than looked at the lead detective. “ I know I have been tying to figure it out all night and have not found nothing.” he said. The two detectives than studied the files once more. “ Maybe I should go over to the house and see if there is something that we missed.” he said. He then got up and grabbed his coat, keys, and cell phone. “ Mind if I come along?” he asked him as he too got up and grabbed his coat. “ Sure I may need back up if the perpetrator is still there.” he said to him. So the two men left.
They reached the house and pulled in. “ I will go in and search around inside and you search around outside.” he said as he took his gun out and cocked it. He then disappeared inside and detective Langley searched around outside. He did not find a thing and was about to radio Terrence when he felt cold chills. He then rubbed his arms and went to get his jacket out of the car. As he was turning he saw the black creature reappear and raise the head of his partner. He radioed for back up and waited for them to arrive, but when they arrived and searched the house the creature was gone.
The coroner came and took the body away of his partner while the investigators and detectives searched. “ There is nothing there sir.” a uniformed officer said. So the detective got back into his car and drove off and headed back to the police station. He then took out the file and looked over it once again. He wanted to solve this crime but knew that was going to be impossible because they had no clues to go on.
Meanwhile Katie was at the police station and being evaluated by the police psychologist. She knew that they suspected her for these gruesome crimes even after passing the lie detector test they gave her. “ I just want to go home and morn the death of my parents. I loved them more than anything and I could never do something like this.” she said to her.
The psychologist was making notes in her file. “ I know you would never think of doing something like this, but could you have?’ she asked her. Katie than looked at her and started crying. “ No the lie detector test proved me to be innocent.” she said. She was then crying hysterically and curled up in a ball. The psychologist than went out and talked to one of the detectives and came back in a short time later. “ We notified your next of kin and they are on their way to come and get you.” she told her.
Katie than sat up and looked at her. “ Can I at least go to the house and get my things?” she asked her. The psychologist than sat back down across from her.
“ No I don’t think that is a good idea.” she told her,
“ Why not?” she asked. The psychologist knew that this young girl would be more comfortable with some of her own things but the orders was for everyone to stay away from that house. “ We were all told to stay away from that house.” she told her.
Her Aunt and Uncle than came and got her. “ You ready Katie?” her Aunt asked coming up and giving her a hug. “ Yeah except I don’t have anything.” she said. Her Uncle than looked at her. “ It’s ok sweetie we will get you anything that you need and want.” he said. So she got off the cot and walked over to the door and still had tears in her eyes. “ We will attend the funeral?” she asked them as they were walking out. “ I don’t know sweetie.” they said.
They then walked outside and Katie was numb and remained quiet all the way to the house. “ We can go shopping now if you want.” they said to her. She just looked out the window. “ No I really don’t feel like it all I want to do is go to sleep.” she said. So they showed her to the bedroom and she crawled in bed and tried to go to sleep but when she did she woke up from the nightmares that she was having.
Meanwhile, the detective was back in the office looking over the files. “ Three people killed and the same note left behind. The only clues are that their heads were cut off and are missing.” he said to himself as he took a drink of his coffee. He also had the girls file as well. “ The girl is innocent at least in my book cause she passed the lie detector test.” he said as he looked over the file. This was one case that was going to leave him confused.
He got up from his desk and walked to the window. He then took a cigarette out and lit it. “ Something is going on in that house, but what?’ he asked to himself. He then walked back over to his desk and sat down. “ Either we find out what happened in that house or we burn it down.” he said as he exhaled the last of his cigarette and put the butt out into the ashtray.
He then decided that he would rather just burn the house down because if he attempted the research there would be no telling what he would find out and he did not want to go down that route. So he picked up the phone to arrange to have that house destroyed. The mayor agreed and so he left to go to the house and wait for the fire department.
Once the house was destroyed the murders would stopped or at least he hoped anyway. However once the house was lit on fire and was up in flames the headless spirits descended towards the skies and instead of disappearing they went in four different directions. This could mean one thing that the town was in for a rough ride and more murders would happen.
Detective Langley than left the house and headed back to the station. He then headed back to his office and wrote murder solved on the folder and shoved it back to the back of the file cabinet. He then grabbed his things and headed home and not knowing that he would soon be the creatures next victim
Chapter 3
Katie got woken up to the sound of glass breaking and screaming and when she got up she got up she felt the cold chill. She shivered and rubbed her arms. She then looked around to see if there was empty open windows and to her surprise there wasn’t so she grabbed a robe and put it on. She then decided to go downstairs to investigate even though she had a feeling that she knew what it was. She headed downstairs and spotted all the blood in the kitchen and the headless, lifeless body of her cousin leaning against the cabinet. She ran over to her and picked up the body. “ Jaycee.” she said. She then threw the body back against the cabinet and ran out of the house screaming and down the road.
One of the neighbors who was getting ready to leave for work spotted her and ran over to her. She noticed she was covered in blood. “ Sweetie what is wrong?” she asked her. The girl just looked at her and pointed. The neighbor that took out her phone and dialed 911. She couldn’t give much information though because she didn’t know much. The neighbor than tried to keep the girl as calm as possible and was also making sure she did not get up and walk away.
Detective Langley was sitting at his office when the call came in so he picked up his coat and left. The investigators was called as well as the coroner, and off duty police officers. The media was now doing new stories on the case and he had to try and keep them at bay. He had no idea what he was going to come onto when he arrived to the scene. When they arrived they approached with caution and their guns were drawn. When the house was clear they all went in. “ Holy fuck. The same thing as in the other murders., but it isn’t the same house so why?” he asked.
They searched and could not find the head of the cousin, but found the same note instead. “ Damn I have no idea what is going on in this town.” he said. So they wrapped up their investigation and the girl was taken to a psych ward. She did not want to go but had too after witnessing her mother, father, and cousin all murdered it was a good idea. “ How long will I have to stay here?” she asked the psychologist. The psychologist looked at her and smiled. “ I have no clue sweetie.” she said. The nurse came in and gave some medicine and she fell asleep.
Meanwhile detective Langley was reviewing the latest murder. He did not understand why it happened at another house nor why the girl was not taken out as well. He threw down the file on his cluttered desk. “ I don’t understand how the girl is still alive.” he said as he lit up a cigarette. He than walked over to the window and leaned against it. “ I guess maybe I need to go back to the original property and do some research because than maybe it will help me.” he said as he put his cigarette out.
The creature had just finished his latest head and was waiting for the next victim. Only two more heads and then I get to turn back into a human and really cause havoc on this town. he thought to himself. He was going to get revenge for what happened in that house five years ago.
Five Years earlier.
Michael Mathis was away on a business trip and had just hung up with his wife. He was going to call it an early night and was fixing to turn in when he felt a cold chill. “ Boy that is strange I have the heater on.” he said as he quickly got in bed and not knowing what was happening to his family. He thought about calling his wife once more to see if everything was ok but decided to go to sleep instead.
Kathryn Mathis had just put the last of her kids in bed and was down in the living room watching some television before she called it a night. She had just set the security alarm but for some reason it failed to go off. She heard a noise but thought nothing of it thinking it was the dog that was wondering around so she set there on the couch and continued watching the television. She was so absorbed in the program that she did not hear the intruder enter until he was already behind her. The guy then snuck up behind her and slit her throat before he went upstairs and killed the four sleeping kids. He then left the house and disappeared into the night.
The murders was not even noticed until Michael came home and discovered the bodies four days later. He then called the authorities and two dozen officers showed up as well as detectives, investigators, the medical examiner, and the coroner. The investigators spent two days investigating and trying to figure out a motive and came up with nothing. The case remained opened to this day. Michael was so distraught with grief that he killed himself.
Back to present
Detective Langley was back at the original crime scene and trying to figure out why the creature was still killing people when a cold chill came across him. He reached in his car for his coat and was starting to put it on when the creature approached him. He reached for his radio to call for back up but before he could get the words out the creature had already sliced off his head. The creature than turned and disappeared into the night leaving a trail of blood matter as he went. The headless body of the detective was laid against the car.
The head investigator was on his way to Langley’s office to see if he had anything new for the case but he wasn’t in there. “ That is strange he should be here.” he said as he walked into the office. He then thought that maybe he was out so he called his cell phone but got no answer. He found this to be strange since he always answered his phone. “ I hope he did not go back to the house.” he said as he put his phone back on his hip. He then turned and left the office. “ I will wait until tomorrow because he probably has something to do with his family.” he said.
He then walked back to his office and went back to work going over the files. He was so absorbed in his work that he jumped when the phone rang. “ Hello Investigator Thomas.” he said.
“ Hello this is Mary and I am calling to see where my husband is.” she spoke softly in the phone. “ I thought he was with you.” he said. He then closed the file that he was working on and leaned back. “ He called and said that he would meet me at Chick’s after he took care of something but that was two hours ago.” she said,
Investigator Thomas then sat up. I think I know where he is. I will go check and then call you back. I am sure he is fine.” he said to her. So they hung up and he left his office and calling for some uniformed officers to go with him just in case. They then approached the house and discovered the detective’s lifeless, headless body propped against the car. “ Holy fuck.” he said. So the officers went into the house and searched while he called the other investigators, detectives, the coroner, the chief medical examiner, and other officers. “ Nothing here sir but a note.” they said.
So the investigation was done and the body taken away. Everyone left puzzled because the house was burned down so the murders should have stopped but instead another one had just taken place. “ Maybe if the remains of the house was bulldozed than they will stop.” he said. So he called for a bulldozer to come in and bulldoze the remains down. “ Now maybe the town will get back to normal.” he said to himself as he got into his car and left.
Little did he know that the town would have to be afraid more because that still did not make the spirits go away.
Katie was in her room at the psych ward and watching the latest story on the murder. She found this strange because she knew that the house was bulldozed but was glad because it meant that she was indeed innocent because she was locked up in the psych ward at the time of this latest murder. The nurse came and gave her some meds. “ I guess it won’t be long until I get let out of here.” she said as she took the meds. The nurse looked at her and smiled. “ Sweetie they don’t think it is a good idea that you get let out since your aunt and uncle are too dead.” she said. Katie than glared at the nurse. “ When did they die/” she asked her.
The nurse was not wanting to give her an answer, but decided to since this was her family. “ Later that night the creature got them.” she said as she left the room. Katie than crawled in a ball and cried. This thing was taking out her entire family and the entire town. “ I wish I could get out so I could do research.” she said into the wall.
Chapter 4
Two months had passed since the first murder took place and since then two dozen murders happened and the creature was now back in human form. Katie had gotten released from the psych ward and was now in the custody of her grandparents and lived in another town. She still had nightmares that the creature was coming after her only it was in human form. She was taking sleeping pills and they helped her sleep. The kids at school was talking about the murders and was even wanting to go to the property and look for themselves. She was trying to talk them out of it but they would not listen.
Michael was now back to human form and wrecking havoc on the town. Since he had no identification or anything from before it was easy to lie to people just to get a new social security and id card made as well as getting a job. He worked as a janitor in the police station and no one suspected a thing. The next murder would happen tonight because he was going to take out the police chief. He still cut off the heads to keep as his trophy. The town was running so scared that it was pathetic, but he was enjoying it.
The police station was still investigating the murders but it was basically on a stand still because of the lack of investigators that was left. The main ones was murdered and the investigation had to be scaled back. They was investigating the new janitor since he had no background check or nothing. The spirits still roamed free and they could be found in the cemetery at night floating around in search of their heads.
Michael, who by the way changed his name to Lyle, was cleaning one of the offices of the investigators and spotted the open file on the desk. He thought about disposing of the file but knew that would place to much of a suspicion on him so he ignored it and went on about his work. He had to finish early so he could go home and prepare for the murder of the police chief. He knew where he lived so he was going to sneak up behind him and whack off his head. He saw the chief working in his office and smiled. “ Enjoy it while you can cause tonight you die.” he said to himself as he moved onto the next office. He liked killing as a human better than killing as a ghost because his victims could see him and he could see them. The look on their faces was priceless.
He then quickly finished his work and put his things away. He wanted to be nice and prepared to kill the chief tonight. The question that everyone asked before they lost their heads was why. He wished he could have told them but he couldn’t because that would be no fun. He always walked out at night and watched the spirits floating around without their heads. He always got a kick out of that because every time he killed and chopped off a head more and more spirits would appear and haunt everyone. He went home and sharpened his tool to have it ready to chop off the head of his next victim. “ Well Mr. police chief I suppose your dead next since it was you who did not even bother continuing the case of my family’s murders.” he said as he sharpened the blade.
After the blade was sharpened he went to fix him a sandwich and have a beer before he got dressed up in his killing clothes. He dressed all in black and nothing showed. He made sure he had his handy notebook and left the house. Of course he never drove because he would always make it look like he was disappearing inside a wall and not get caught because he had the abilities since he was once a spirit. He left the house and headed to his next victim
He peaked in the window and saw the chief eating a sandwich and watching T.V.
“ Time to make my move.” he said as he slowly and quietly entered the house. He gently guided across the room and plunged the knife in the neck of the police chief. “ Why?” he asked as his head was being sawed off. He could hear the screams from the police chief and laughed. He then wrote a note saying the same thing that every note said that was placed at the murder scene and disappeared back into the wall.
He usually had to wait for hours until he left but he didn’t mind because he could see everyone searching for the missing heads. He threw his head back and laughed. He then watched as everyone began their search and disappeared outside so that he could scare them. No one knew that he and Lyle was the same person nor that he was a ghost and that was the best part. He reappeared at the doorway and raised the head. The officers tried shooting at him but he disappeared before they could get a shot in. He then headed to the cemetery and buried the head with the others.
He set there for a few minutes watching the headless spirits come out before going home. He usually floated around them laughing for a few minutes but tonight he didn’t because he had to be at work early. It wasn’t like he ever slept anyway because even though he was a human spirit he did not ever sleep.
Katie was sitting in her history class and trying to listen to the teacher but couldn’t because her mind was busy thinking about the latest murder victim that happened last night and was shocked that it was the police chief. She was glad that she lived in the next town with her grandparents and was safe. She really wanted to find out what was going on in that town but knew the only way was too go there and investigate and she was not going to do that because her grandparents had to stay safe because she could not loose another family member because of this homicidal ghost.
She was sitting in the cafeteria and eating lunch when a few kids dressed in black came up to her. “ Your from the town of Drayton huh?” one of them asked her. She swallowed her food and looked up. “ Yes why?” she asked them.
“ Well because a bunch of us is going camping on the property this weekend just to see some ghosts.” they told her. She pushed her tray away and stared at them.
“ I really don’t think that is a wise decision.” she told them. The group then stared back at her. “ Why is that?” they asked her.
“ Well because you could end up as his next victim and besides I won’t go near that place again to many bad memories.” she said.
The group then laughed at her. “ We wasn’t asking you to go we just wanted to know.” they said as they walked away. She then got up and took her tray to the dishwasher. She then left the cafeteria and headed to the library. She had no idea why those kids even wanted to go to that property, but they did and she could not stop them. She just hoped they did not get killed too.
Michael was hard at work cleaning the police station and watching the investigation into the death of the police chief. No one had no idea that it was him nor that the ghost was really human form. Soon he would reveal himself and everything but first more murders must happen. He was so absorbed in his work and his thoughts that he did not notice some coming up behind him. “ Lyle we need you to clean up the interrogation room.” one of them said. So he headed to the room and cleaned it.
He hated this kind of work but since it kept him close to the investigation he kept it. He finished his work for the day and headed home. Since it was the weekend he did not have to work so he would be able to plan out the murders of his next victims. Little did he know that there would be campers camping out at the property.
The group of kids headed to the property with their camping equipment and sat up camp. They got cold chills but thought nothing of it so they went about setting up their tents. “ This place is creepy.” one of them said as they took out their camera and took pictures. “ Nah it’s not creepy.” another said. So once the tents were set up the teens started walking around the property.
Michael had passed by the house and saw the group of teens and decided that they would have to die just for snooping around. He then went home and changed into his costume and ate. He made sure his weapon was sharpened and left his house. When he approached the property the teens were all sleeping so one by one he chopped off their heads and then disappeared into the wall to wait. These kids were stupid for actually wanting to come here and snoop. They deserved to die.” he thought to himself.
He then waited for the right time and made his move. More and more headless spirits were floating around in the cemetery. He loved this and he actually got off and if he was capable of he would hire a hooker and fuck her before he killed her. Hell he could not even masturbate either since he was still technically a ghost.
He then disappeared and headed to the cemetery and watched as the newest victims floated around the graveyard.
Chapter 5
The next morning the lead investigator was looking over the file of the latest victims and was shocked that they actually wanted to go to the property and snoop. He didn’t think that people would actually want to snoop on the original property after knowing what happened there. “ Damn I just wish that people would actually get it through their thick heads that the property is not safe. “ he said as he laid the folder down on his desk. Two of his good detectives was now dead along with the police chief. He had to solve this scene of murders and beheadings before he lost any more cops. He then got up to fix him a cup of coffee because he was not going to sleep until the mad man was off the street.
Michael was cleaning the hallway right outside the office and heard every word that he said. “ I doubt you will ever get people to not go on the property because people love to snoop.” he said as he finished mopping. I bet people are wondering why I never killed the little girl. he thought as he moved onto the next hallway. He would reveal that too when he revealed himself. Right now he had to finish his work so that he could get ready for his next victim and he knew exactly who it was going to be. He knew that people would be shocked at this victim.
Katie was at home and doing her homework. She was finding it hard to concentrate because she was busy thinking about the kids who were murdered last night. I warned them not to go there. she thought to herself. She went back to writing the paper that she was writing. She did not understand why the teacher had her write on this particular subject but she was. The paper was on her experience in the old house that the murder of her parents took place. She felt a cold chill and went up to get her a blanket. She saw the headless spirit sitting on the edge of her desk. She wanted to scream but nothing came out.
Michael was back at home and getting ready for his latest killing. This is going to be great. he thought as he sharpened his tool. His tool was sharpened to the right way and he left. He headed towards the Mayor’s house. Oh yes after I am finished with the Mayor and his family the nosey news reporters will get it as well. he thought as he walked up to the front porch and inside the house.
The investigator was sitting in his office and drinking a cup of coffee. He should be home with his wife and kids instead of being here but he couldn’t force himself to leave because he knew that this case would haunt him until he solved it. His cell phone rang and he picked it up and answered it. “ Hello baby.” he said when he heard his wife’s voice. “ When you coming home?” she asked him. He then looked at the open file. “ I am on the way now.” he said as he closed his file and put it in his desk drawer. “ Ok see you soon.” she said and they hung up.
Just as he was turning to leave his scanner went off. “ We need all law enforcement dispatched to the Mayor’s house.” he quickly grabbed his things and left. He would have to call his wife along the way to tell her he was not going to be able to be home like she wanted. They pulled up to the house with lights and sirens. “ What happened?” he asked as he got there. He then followed the uniformed officers inside with his gun drawn. “ No one is here sir.” they said.
He then looked around and saw the horrific scene. “ Damn they got the Mayer and his entire family.” he said. He then began to search and found nothing except for the same note. They could not even find the mayor’s head of the heads of his family. “ Shit. “ they said as they finished their investigation. “ Looks like I won’t be going home tonight.” he said as he got back in his car and another call came in.
“ On our way.” he said and quickly sped away to the second crime scene of the night. “ Damn he took out one of the news reporters and their family.”
They then searched around and found nothing, though this time they saw a headless spirit floating near by and this freaked them out. “ This case is very creepy.” one of them said as they entered the house with the guns drawn. “ The place is clear.” one of them said so they all entered and it was the same thing as before. “ I wish this asshole would leave behind some clues besides a note.” he said. They then wrapped up the investigation and another call came in. “ Not another one. Gee how many murders are we going to get in one night.” he said as they turned to leave.
Michael was in the cemetery and watching as the recent headless spirits emerge. He had already buried the heads of the victims and was watching as the authorities was investigating the string of murders that took place. He then turned and headed back to his house. Tomorrow it would be interesting to watch as the investigators look through the files and try to figure out the murder and try to pinpoint the suspect and he was going to enjoy it because tomorrow he would reveal all. He tilted his head back and laughed. “ After I reveal myself it still won’t end. He thought to himself as he returned to the program he was watching.
Katie was sitting in her room at her grandparents house and a cold chill came about. “ Please go away.” she said as she hugged her arms. She started to get up to get a blanket when she spotted the spirit of her mother. “ Please just go away.” she said as she crawled and crawled. The spirit than reached out her hand to the girl. Katie screamed and cried. She had no idea why this spirit was coming here to frighten her but it was. Maybe I have some sort of power that attracts spirits she thought to herself as the spirit disappeared.
Katie than collapsed in the corner and cried. She just wanted this nightmare to go away. Maybe I need to visit the house. she thought to herself.
Chapter 6
The next morning Michael headed to work with a smile. He could not wait to see the looks on the faces of everyone once he exposed himself as the murder suspect. He also wanted everyone to know the truth about Katie. That is the big shocker and was going to shock everyone. The girl will even be shocked to know the truth as to why she was never killed. Oh yes this will be fun and exciting. Especially when I find Katie and tell her the truth. he thought to himself as he went into the police station. He fixed his cart and went right to work.
Katie was in her first period class and thinking about the headless spirit that approached her even when she was away from that town. The spirit was trying to tell her something but couldn’t because it had no head. What is the Spirits trying to tell me? she asked herself. Could I possibly be a spirit too? she asked herself. She than set up and screamed.
Michael finished cleaning and put his cart away. He then went into the bathroom and changed into his killing clothes. He had stashed his weapon there last night. Showtime. he thought as he grabbed his weapon and headed out. The whole police department looked at him and gasped. “ I know I had you all fooled.” he said as he made his way to the front. “ Yes I am the killer.” he said as he raised the tool and made slashing noises. Everyone screamed louder. I am also a spirit as well.” he said
He then took off his killing clothes and the whole station screamed. “ I am also a spirit in human form. He was enjoying this so much and seeing the looks on everyone’s faces was priceless. Yet the best part was still to come. “ The little girl Katie is also a spirit of my dead daughter.” he told them
Katie was in the library and reading on spirits. She was trying to figure out what they were trying to tell her. She was also wanting to figure out how to get rid of them because she wanted to live in peace and knew she could not do that until she found out the truth because the spirits would not leave her alone.
She opened yet another book and inside was the newspaper article containing the story on the murders that happened in the house five years ago. “ That is strange.” she said. She then picked up the article and stared at the pictures of the family and saw the little girl. “ She looks like me.” she said and this time she turned as white as a ghost. “ Could I really be this little girl who died?” she asked herself.
Michael had just revealed the whole truth to everyone. He wanted to go find his little girl but did not know where she was. “ Now if someone will tell me where Katie is I will be on my way.” he said. He knew that no one would come forward as to the where the little girl was. I promise you no one else will die and the spirits will go away once I get reunited with my daughter.” he said to them.
At first everyone was quiet because they were all too scared to speak up. “ I am waiting for someone to tell me and if no one tells me people will continue to die.” he said. He then walked over to the receptionist and put the tool too her throat. She started crying then. “ Please just tell him.” she pleaded as he continued to hold her hostage. They then took out their guns and aimed. “ That would not be a wise choice because the bullets will go right through me and hit her.” he said.
Katie then finished reading the article and folded it up. Instead of returning it to the book she put in her backpack. She then returned all the books to the shelves and picked up her backpack. It was time for her to return to class even though she really did not want too. All she wanted to do was get home to her grandparents to make sure they were safe.
Michael waited and was starting to get impatient. “ Ok since no one will tell me this bitch gets it.” he said. So he started cutting and soon the woman was dead and the blood was oozing out. “ Ok she is over in the next town staying with her grandparents.” one of them said. So he smiled and wiped off the knife.
“ It takes me killing someone else right in front of you for you guys to tell me the truth. You guys are pathetic.” he said as he threw the woman’s head in the trash can and walked away.
Katie was in class and staring at the picture. She could not even believe that she could possibly the human spirit of the little girl who was murdered. She did not want to believe it either. She thought it was some kind of a joke and that the spirits were trying to play a sick and twisted joke on her or that it was a dream and if she woke up it would be gone. She pinched herself and realized that this was real the next step she had to do was figure out why the spirits had her find this article now.
Michael was on his way to the next town to find his daughter. He hated that he had to kill Samantha because she was a sweet person with kids but no one wanted to tell him so he had to do it. Don’t fear Rose daddy is coming to get you. he said to himself as he reached the next town. He did not want to scare her so he had to approach her with caution because he did not want to scare his little girl.
Katie was in bed trying to sleep but sleep would not come due to the fact that all she could see was the headless spirits floating above her bed. She tried to cover her head but that did not help because she still spotted them. She finally gave up on sleep and got up. Since I can’t sleep I might as well do more research. she thought to herself as she powered on her computer.
Chapter 7
Michael was in the next town and was searching for the house that his daughter was staying in. Once he was reunited with her the spirits would go away and everyone would be free again. He had to find her first and reunite with her. He knew that finding her would not be easy though because no one told him where her grandparent’s were living. “ This is going to be harder than I thought, but I won’t give up.” he said as he turned down the next street. He wished he would have looked up the address before taking off but he didn’t so he was searching blindly.
Katie was walking to school when she saw a male figure that looked very familiar but she could not figure out how though. So she stopped and took out the picture and stared at it. “ Oh my god. That is the father that killed himself.” she said as she folded up the article and put it back in her back pack. She then turned and ran back home. S he discovered the truth that she was really a spirit. “ This is just a dream.” she said as she ran.
Michael spotted Katie and stopped. He seen as she took something out of her backpack. “ She is a spitting image of her mother. I wish she would have made it out alive that night.” he said. He then saw as she put the item back in her back pack and turned the opposite direction. He then waited as she took off running and went after her. “ I will have my daughter back soon.” he said as he went in the direction that his daughter went in.
Michel saw the house that Katie went into and smiled. “ Well I found her.” he said. He then walked over to the house and went inside. He floated upstairs to Katie’s room and saw that she was crying. He sat next to her on the bed and started stroking her hair. “ Hush my child.” he said. Katie could feel his presence there next to her because she felt the cold chills. She started to scream when she saw the man sitting next to her. “ Shush my child do not be afraid I cause no harm.” he said. The little girl started to cry. “ If you mean no harm why did you kill my parents, Aunt, Uncle, and cousin?” she asked him.
Michael continued stroking her hair. “ I had to kill them they were in my way at trying to get you.” he said to her. She still did not understand how she could be this guys daughter. “ So if I am dead than how can I be a human?” she asked him. He noticed that she was crying even harder now. “ In time you will find the answers, but for now you must trust me.” he told her.
She stopped crying and looked at him. “ How can I trust you since you took out some members of my family?’ she asked him. He knew she was going to ask this question. “ Your right I am un trustable but trust me on this ok.” he said. Katie then looked at him and gave him a smile. She could either trust him or not trust him and hoped that he went away. She did not see him going away so she had no choice but to trust him.
Michael grabbed her by the hand. “ Come with me my child.” he said. So she got up off the bed and went with him. “ Where we going?” she asked him.
“ Soon you will see.” he said to her. He could tell she was scared to go with him but she had to know the truth. “ I don’t want to go with you. I want to stay here.” she said as she was trying to pull away from him. “ I know sweetie but you need to find out the truth.” he said to her.
They then reached the next town and she panicked. “ I can’t be in this town it brings back the painful memories of having my family killed.” she told him.
“ Shush now my child I am with you.” he said as they reached the cemetery. They then approached the graves of where they were buried. “ So this is where we all are buried.” she said as she released his hand and knelt down. He watched as she knelt down. “ Yes it is.” he said. He knew he needed to tell her the story and tell her why she was human form.
He knelt down beside her. “ Five years ago when you guys were killed you told your dead mother that you would survive and seek out the person who killed you guys. When you was buried your spirit was among the mourners and when you was placed in the ground your spirit re connected with you and you became a human spirit.” he told her. She looked at him with a look of shock on her face.
“ So I became a human once again to find the person who did this.” she said.
“ Yes you did sweetie and you tried but never could. You tried to get back to your grave but couldn’t.” he said. She thought about this for a minute and looked at him through tear stain eyes. “ If I am dead than how come I have human feelings.” she said to him. He did not have the answer for that question. “ You ready to go home to your grave.” he asked her as he took her hand.
“ Yes but I need to go back home and be killed though.” she told him. So they got up and floated back to the house. “ Ok I am going to kill you.” he said as he took out his tool and cut off her head.
The grandparents spotted their granddaughter sprawled out on the front lawn and called the authorities and at least a dozen people showed up as well as reporters from the newspapers and the news. The investigation was started and the only clue was that he had left behind the tool that he killed with. “ I doubt we will find any finger prints on that.” the detective said as it was picked up and put into a bag.
The investigation was ended and they all left. They spotted the guy and the little girl floating through the air. “ I guess we will never figure out why the little girl was killed.” they said. They all hoped everything would return to normal.
The headless spirits got their heads back and went to their proper graves. The ones who got their heads ate also returned back to the graves. The town could still see spirits floating in the air at the cemetery and some even floated around the town.
So if you go to this town you might see some spirits without heads floating around.
Ok guys this is my first horror/ghost story and I hope you enjoy it. I enjoyed writing it as well. Yes it is short but it is my first one. So enjoy and be afraid be very afraid.
