On what seemed to be an almost normal night. There was something about to go dead wrong!The Brandon family moved into the house all the youngsters called "Haunted." The dad was a mild mannered man who worked in the local high school as head librarian. The mother a more outgoing person worked as one of the counselors, the daughter on the other hand.... the daughter a 17 year old Gothic, was a different story. The parents with all the help of the faculty they worked with even shrinks couldn't help... with her problems. They differed from time to time telling her parents, "She talks to the dead," and that they bother her. To being possessed by them to finish what wasn't. But one night was about to change everything in not only their life but the town of Red Bridge.

The first morning after the unpacked everybody went to work and supposedly to school as well, but she didn't go. She just moved into a brand new house she had to explore her new surroundings unimpressive as it was. There was a full finished basement and atic a full 4,300 square foot of house to go through. "Where to start?" she thought. She wanted to leave no room untouched no door knob unturned. So she thought "Well I will just start at the bottom and work my way up." As she was doing this she didn't know that she was being watched. The hours just flew by and she noticed the sun was almost gone, "My parents will be home soon, I will just pick it up tomorrow." But as she went to leave the basement she actually saw something she only lied about before, it was a grotesque some what human looking corpse, missing flesh and bare bone adorned this translucent figure. It looked as if it wanted to speak but seemed to get agitated when its voice was missing it looked as if it was going to come at her but took a lunge forward and vanished.

She ran up the stairs as fast as she could, with her head down to watch where her feet were being placed, she only heard the door slam but it was enough. She was frightened, horrified to believe that what she had lied about all those years to her folks was actually true. The figure soon came out of no where, again mad looking and more gruesome then before as if in anger it mutilated itself or something else did. The figure pointed behind her and then she saw what was something she had only seen in books an Iron Maiden. The spikes in it where just as sharp as they looked and just as deadly. She thought "maybe that ghost wants me to go in there, I have no idea what to do!" she
