Chapter 3 Shadows Beyond the Door
The next morning, Virginia went into the pantry to get a jar of peaches for breakfast, but there were none on the shelf.Virginia remembered that there had been three jars left the last time she looked.Who had eaten all those peaches? Was it the same person or thing that took our ham?
"Do ghosts eat?" Virginia asked her parents at breakfast.
Virginia's father chuckled, but her mother was not amused."What nonsense," she said.
Virginia was not sure if she believed in ghosts or not but was tired of being treated like a kid,and so she decided she would sneak up and explore the attic on her own.
That night, Virginia forced herself to stay awake till after her parents were asleep.Then she got out of bed, lit a candle, and tiptoed to the steps that went up to the attic.
Virginia heard soft thumps and bumps and scraping noises along the way.She paused several times, clutching her chest, but always kept going.Her heart was beating so hard she thought that she might faint.
She pushed on the door to the attic, but it didn't move - it was locked.
Virginia peeked through the keyhole and saw shadowy figures moving inside.Ghosts! She was right! Her house was haunted!And there wasn't just one - Virginia counted three ghosts: two big ones and one that was about her size.
