story At the age of twelve to thirteen I had a best friend who I will call Tanya, Tanya and I seemed to be meant to be as friends and clicked together as if in one mind. Durring the time I knew Tanya we went through many experiances but one I will say that I will remember the most. The story all begins at the end of her moms marriage and the moving in with her new boyfriend in a three story house in the heart of our small town. Her boyfriend who I will call Roger lived by his self so that made room for Tanya, her little sister and her mom. When Tanya first moved in to the house she would always make remarks to me around in the way of "You know something is strange about this house, I can't put my finger on it but it's there". Tanya's mom and her new boyfriend worked night shift at a local factory so that left Tanya to babysit her younger sister who I will call Taneal. Durring the day Tanya and I would either talk for hours on the phone or I would be there. After a month! ! of living there Tanya came out one day and said, When I watch my sister durring the day and Ilet her go out side I can hear things in the attic moving around, its like someone is walking around or moving something but when I go up there noones there and nothing has been moved. Tanya is not the one to lie so from that remark on we began to observe the house in a very non chalant way. She was right you could hear conversations of a woman and a man in the attic, it was a very intense conversation almost an argument. You could never understand the words but yet you could feel the tension in the air. But yet unafraid or yet thinking we were uninvinsible we would still go up there and look around even making suggestions to what ever it was to come out and show itself. One night Tanya and I had been Rollerskating in the basement and decided to come up to get something to eat. I was still down stairs taking off my skates and Tanya was sitting at the top. I heard her ask mom why R! ! oger had just gone upstairs and her mom looked at her funny. Tanya came down to the bottom of the stairs and said something is in the attic come with me. Someone or something had opened the attic door and turned on the light while Tanya was at the top of the stairs, the stairs are around the corner from each other so you can tell if the door is being opened. When we got to the top of the stairs there was nothing there and the light had been turned off. That night Tanya and I lay awake in her bed alone while we listened to the sounds of furniture and arguing in the attic of what we will never know. But maybe what did give us a clue was almost a week later Tanya's little sister woke up in the middle of the night screaming about a night mare she just had. When we went into her room we asked her what the night mare was about. She told us that she dreamed that she woke up in the middle of the night to find a man with red hair and black eyes standing in her door way and told her! ! tha this name was Gabe and thathe was going to take all of her toys away and kill her mommy. We had never mentioned our concerns about the house, the attic the basement or a man. Because we knew that if we did we would be in deep trouble. Tanya and I let her sister sleep with us that night. There are many events that happened in that house that would make cold chills run up and down your spine but the one that sat it off was of course on Holloween.Now don't think this is all a primary kids story of gobblins and gools but do think that there is something out there other than you. On Holloween Tanya and I got dressed up in our costumes and prepare the house with candles and darkness her parents took her little sister out to trick or treat. My sister had came over so we could go the local haunted house. My sister was in the bathroom putting on make-up and Tanya and I decided to walk to the nearest houses to get some candy, right before we left we made it a point to go up sta! ! irs to the attic to tantalize the unknown once again. I was in a boast full mood Holloween being my favorite holiday and all so my following words went all the way of, " alright it's Holloween its your time to show yourself, let the demons within this house come out tonight. We are ready for you and once and for all we are not afraid of you, you can not harm us you are nothing to us." Laughing and scared we ran down stairs and shut the door. Tanya and I were walking back up to the house when my eighteen year old sister came running out of the house crying hystaricly. We ran up to her and asked her what was wrong. Between sobbing and shaking she managed to get out this. "where have you all been, someone or somthing is in that house." We asked her why and she screamed, "When I was in the bathroom the attic door opened and the light turned on, who ever it was walked all the way around the house and when they got back to the attic door they stopped and started banging on the bat! ! hroom door, then they went back into the attic and turned off the light and slammed the door." We left the house that night and Tanya came home with me.A few months later Tanya and her family moved and now there is another family living in the house. And I wander if they have have met Gabe. I will call this story GABE
