At 9:40 p.m. yesterday, I was sitting in my chair when I heard n strange sound, It made me scared. This was the third time I heard the sound. I did not know who or what made that sound.
It sounded like someone was knocking at my window, but I lived on the ninth floor!
I was too scared to epen my eyes until the sound stopped. I thought about asking for help, but I was sure people would laugh at me. “There are no such things as ghosts(鬼),’’ they’d say, “There it is again” I shouted. My mom came upstairs and asked me what I was going on. Then she heard the strange sound, too. She went into the bathroom. I wanted to stop my mom because I was afraid that something bad would happen to her. But she started laughing. “It’s OK, dear. It’s just a strong wind making the curtain(窗帘) shake and knock the window.”
I was very surprised. Since then I’ve started thinking more scientifically. There are no ghosts. I don’t need to be afraid. If such things happen again I will do like what my mom did and find out the truth.
