The Halloween Day

Author: Shrika Thakur

This story happened with my me and cousin sister when I came to her for a couple of weeks at Halloween time. In our culture, everybody should sleep till 12 midnight but she never and I had the same problem too. I would sleep at 3:00 am and she would sleep at the same time. So, the day before Halloween we thought to wake up a full night. We were talking to each other, eating and drinking but when the clock showed 3:30 am, we heard a knocking on our room door. We thought that our parents must be knocking on the door so, we opened it and the thing we saw shocked us my cousin sister was about to faint but I saved her. At the door, we saw my dead maternal grandfather with a knife in his hand we ran out of the room saving our life to my maternal grandmother and told her all the things that happened to us and then she told us ” That’s why I used to tell you both to sleep till 12 midnight ” and from that day we always slept till 12 midnight.
