5. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE One cold winter night, Lucy, a sixteen year old girl, was alone at home watching TV, because her parents had gone to a dinner party at a friend’s house. I t had been snowing all the afternoon, but Lucy felt nice and comfortable sitting in the living room sofa under a warm and fuzzy blanket. The TV was on the corner of the room. She was watching one of her favourite movies, a horror film. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed something moving outside the window. Through the darkness and the falling snow, she could make out the figure of a man walking towards the window. The man’s face was hideously scary- his eyes were wild and big. Frightened, Lucy pulled the blanket over her head and tried to hide away. One minute later, she pulled the blanket aside just enough to peer out with one eye. She was so afraid, the man was still there! Then, he opened his coat and took something out. I t was a long knife. She managed to put her hand into her pocket and took her mobile phone. She phoned the police. Eventually, she heard sirens outside. Lucy stood up and ran to the front door. The police said that there was no trace of anyone outside the window. “He was right there,” said Lucy pointing out to the window. “That impossible,” said the officer, “because there aren’t any footprints.”

6. “ Maybe you have been watching too many scary movies,” said the other officer. The police officer turned to leave when, suddenly, she stopped. She pulled back the sofa where Lucy had been sat. On the carpet there was a trace of wet footprints and a knife. “You weren’t looking at the man outside the window,” said the officer. “You were looking at his reflection. HE WAS STANDING RIGHT BEHIND YOU ALL THE TIME”

8. THE FIRE Melisa, a sixteen year old girl, arrived at Madrid two months ago because her family moved to work there. Several days later, Melisa fell ill. Consequently the doctor told her to be in bed for one or two weeks. Isabel, one of he classmates, offered to help Melisa with her homework. Every day, Isabel went to Melisa’s house after school and she explained her the homework and they chatted for a while. Melisa asked Isabel about her family, her house, her friends, but Isabel never answered her questions. Furthermore, she became so angry that Melisa was even afraid. For this reason, Melisa only talked about the homework. In addition, Melisa had some strange grey spots on her hands and face, but Isabel never told Melisa about them. The clothes that Melisa usually wore were very weird too- she always came with the same old clothes and hairstyle. After two weeks, Melisa got over and went to the high school- she was looking forward to seeing Isabel. She wanted to thank her for her help and give her back her notebook. However, Isabel wasn’t at school and no one knew her. Melisa was very surprised and wondered who Isabel was. Melisa looked over her notebook and found her name, Isabel Moreno, and her address. In the afternoon, Melisa went to this address, but when she got there, she only found a ruined house. Next to the door, she found a newspaper . She read the following news,” Julián and Laura López together with their daughter, Isabel, died in a fire in their house.” Then, Melisa read the newspaper date- it took place in 1970. all of a sudden, Melisa understood all, Isabel was a ghost. A month later, Melisa and her parents died, their house set on fire.
