Hi my name is Linzie Potrolia and I’m 12 years old I live in down town Puyallup about two houses down from Meeker Mansion. Meeker Mansion closed down in 2500 which was about 500 years ago.
My friends dared me to go in and spend the night at Meeker Mansion. So here I am standing at the doorway, my best friend was supposed to come to but she chickened out at the last minute. What a friend she is. As foolish as I am I still accepted the dare.
As I opened the door slowly it squeaked almost as loud as a dieing mouse. I slowly walked in as more people approached they started cheering Linzie, Linzie, Linzie. Then it broke out in to a loud lets go Linzie lets go you can do it. As I walked into the room the cheering got faint. Then it stopped and the door slammed shut making a loud ‘boom”.
I started to shake then swet but when I heard those foot step’s I ran to the door and jerked it but it wouldn’t open I kicked it pushed it pulled it and even slammed against it but it didn’t open. Suddenly I heard the door behind me open and felt the cold breath of someone behind me. Then I fell to the floor, out cold as a rock, nothing could wake me but the warmth of my own house or maybe morning.
When morning came I woke up with a head ache on the side on witch I fell. Although I was scared that the person who visited me last night was still there I got up and tried to open the door it wouldn’t open still. I decided to go explore and maybe without it seeing me see what it was that visited me last night. Maybe along the way I would find something small to eat.
So I went up the stairs into a small room with lots of coats, I guessed it was a closet. For the time meaning I decided to try some on. There was big ones, little ones, and huge ones, and small ones but none fit me. So I left. The next room was a nother closet only it had shoes so I tried some of those on. Like the coats there were big ones, little ones, huge ones, and small ones but none of them fit me.
I decided to go down stairs. Down there I found three bathrooms and a kitchen. In the kitchen there were old cans and a cookie jar filled with cookies. So I had a few cookies and went to the bathroom then I decided to go try to open the door again.
When I got there I heard foot steps on the other side of the door but the door wouldn’t open I pushed and pulled but it wouldn’t open. Suddenly I heard a guy’s voice and the door handle started to move. I ran and hid under the table. I watched his feet walk past the table and stop right by were I was. I closed my eyes and prayed for my life.
Don’t let them see me I said quietly in my head. He straightened the table cloth and walked away “few” I said out loud. When he stopped and walked toward the table I was under I almost started crying not because I was scared I mean don’t get me wrong I was scared too but that’s not why I almost started crying, it was because he was standing on my hand, I wanted to scream but I didn’t.
Then when he finally moved I blew on my hand and he walked out of the room I slowly got up and ran to the door opened the door and ran out. When I reached my house I called my friends over got my parent and we all sat in the living room. I told my parents I didn’t spend the night at my friend. Then I explained what happened to my family and friends. When your friends dare you to spend the night in Meeker Mansion DON’T LISEN TO THEM or you’ll have night mares for a month.
