I perfectly remember that cold winter night. It was January 13th ,1860, the same day that Paul and I had just got married. We were deeply in love with each other and had decided to spend our honeymoon somewhere remote from the city and the people we knew. We were invited to the luxurious mansion that his uncle, Lord James, had in the country, and we accepted as we did not have any other better choice.
After leaving the train station, we had to walk for a long time among the woods that led directly to the house. I will never forget the thick mist of that scary silent night, when we were able to perceive the most insignificant sounds of Nature. As I was very frightened, I asked my dear Paul to put his arm around me. Suddenly, we saw a dim light far in the distance that seemed to come from the mansion we were looking for. We sighed and smiled at each other because we felt relieved. However, it was a short-lived feeling since as we were approaching the dwelling, we found a cemetery just in front of the house. Paul tried to comfort me but I did not like the idea of sharing the place for our honeymoon with the dead ancestors of my husband. As we were passing by all those graves, it started to rain heavily and I could see how a rusty cross was beginning to lean forward and backward as though somebody were pushing it from below. That sight made my hair stand on end but Paul tried to convince me that it was only the blowing wind.
We arrived at the house at last and Lord James welcomed us with open arms. He was standing at the hall with Joan, his new wife, and Veronica, his stepdaughter. They were really kind to us but there was something in the way Veronica looked at Paul
that made me feel terrified. She was a short blond girl whose eyes seemed to be hiding something...
I decided to stroll through the mansion and I went to the attic and found objects and old dusty with cobwebs. I went to the window, downstairs when I saw an animal like a chimpanzee, who looked at me with her teeth out, it seemed it would kill me. Runs away, desperate.
At dusk, we went down to a dinner where the neighbor was present Parker. I asked him if he knew about the presence of a strange animal in the vicinity. At this point, Parker looked at me with a smile sinica unanswered. I was scared. I told my husband Paul and he told me it was the fruit of my imagination.
Dawned, I returned to the attic, I found an old red dress and very beautiful. I could not resist and tried it. I looked at myself in the mirror, I realized the image of the same animal that had seen the other day, I turned and there was nothing. I removed her dress and runs off.
It took hours and had night came, I went to the door and saw something on the floor. I grabbed a flashlight and walked up to the place where he had the same red dress and all cut with a knife on him. Veronica screamed and appeared behind me, I looked again and there was nothing but a distant figure to me. Veronica just smiled sinica.Even now, I ran to the room where I met Paul and told everything that happened to him. My husband asked me to be calm, but could not. We packed and went away, leaving behind that haunted mansion.
