The Screamer

It's 1:30am as I awake from my sleep; I've heard something as it was a disturbed noise; I said to my self it was just a noise from the neighbors. I walk down my hallway to lock my doors, to make sure that what ever it was doesn't try to come after me. However something strange was seen with my eyes; I seen a shadow but in a shape of a person wiping there tears away; but as casual I tell my self its just a artifact giving a illusion. I enter my room to only notice my bed covers were moved. Doesn't really matter to me i'm older now so nothing to be afraid it's just my mind playing tricks; so I go back to bed. It's now 9:54am. I've had the strangest dream that something was just screaming for my help, but it also wanted to harm me.. It's all over now, today is a bright new day. Did I forgot to tell you that I just bought this new home a week ago? I love the house, it has a vintage fell to it, other than the fact that it is a vintage house. Well, i walk over to my computer to do some of my online work and letters, but only to see that all the names of the files have been changed to "Help.me", it spooked me so I deleted the files, and close my computer. I thought it was just a joke someone done to it; I havn't been on my computer in about a week, so it probably was a friend playing a joke. Three hours later, I decide to unpack some of my stuff and move some furniture around. I've found something usually, it was a door I think it leads to the basement; however I was never informed on a basement to this house, so it might just be a very old hidden room. I don't plan on going into it today, to much work to do right now. I seen a box near the door however; I picked up the box to bring it to the kitchen to go through it. The box had tons of dust, but as I go through it I find pictures in it,of a Father and Daughter they were taken near the door I found to the basement. The father and daughter had a smile but you can see that they had fear in the eyes.. I've now finished putting up some stuff, it's late right now, I believe its around 11:00pm. I change into my pajamas, and head to bed. But as I fall to sleep I hear crying, it sounds like someone crying to get out. I walk to my kitchen and I see something move, it fly's by quickly, but I seen a glimpse of it. It had a old face and white hair, and it was running down the hallway; I had tears in my eyes as I was very afraid. But knowing my I followed it, turns out it leaded to that door into the basement. I was traumatized from it, so I decided to go back to my room and lock the doors until morning. It's now been a hour and I feel like the night is never going to end, so I decide to go out and do some research. I open my computer and look up the history of my home, it turns out that this house belonged to a family; mother,father and daughter, and that the family never went outside, but however there was a twist. On the page it said that one night the neighbors heard a scream and soon later the mother was never heard from again, but during that time there was no law enforcement. But I had a strange thought, and then I remembered; when I was looking at the pictures the mother wasn't in it, and it was always near the basement door. Moreover I decided to get a magnifying lens and i seen a hole in the door it was a keyhole, I looked very closely and I was soon terrified of the sight it was an eye looked like it was very dirty and red. Soon after my mind became very very dark, and then everything went quiet; less than a minute later you would hear pounding and I knew exactly where it came from. I marched to the basement door when a flashlight I've found in the closet. I open the door leading to the basement, there was no lights in it and it was freezing cold, the walls were all concrete. But I explore a little bit, I've seen books,chair and a bed; however, the bed looked like it's been slept on recently. I felt like i was being watched and taunted. My flashlight started flickering and as I looked up turns out the basement door was locked;Moreover I was just worried that I made the wrong choice to come down here. But once again it goes quiet and I hear a crying and scratching, it sounds like its coming from the door, like someone was sitting on the staircase. I find some old matches on the floor and I light one, but when I looked up it was a women, she turned towards me and screamed very loudly my mind was in shock. She screamed "Let me out!" several times. Her hands was bloody as if shes been grinding them down. I ran under the old bed crying with fear. It was pitch black down here. But all of a sudden she just stopped screaming but had a evil laughter, she chuckled "It's your time now". I was confused, but I had a flash back of the picture from the door. She was trapped down here, and now I let her free by opening the door. It's clear now, what she mean't. The door opened and I seen the old lady crawl out the small opening in the door. I get up from under the bed and run to the door, but it's to late the door is closed and its locked.. I walk down and close my eyes and beg that it was just a dream. I wake back up, not knowing if its day or night, I walk up to the door and scream for someone to let me out. Many days,months,years have passed and then a new couple moves in they have a child. Soon after the family settles in the child comes to the door, it looked like a 11 or 12 year old, it opened the door and walked in, looking for its pet hamster that ran away. I look at him and all he had was fear on his face, I ran up the stairs quickly past him as I screamed "It's your turn". He began to cry, as I ran up and locked the doors to the basement. No-one heard from the kid again, as they never heard from me again also. But legend has it the kid is still there screaming for help. However no one can hear him.
