If you can, make it "scary"!
If you're a man, read the name Colin when the narrator talks to himself. If you're a woman, read the name Fiona when the narrator talks to herself. Thank you.
When I was fifteen, I went on a school trip to Dundee. It's in Scotland, you know this country where you can see the Loch Ness monster.
One night, we were all staying in an old mansion and I was sharing a room with my friends Suzy and Tom .
In the middle of the night, it was raining and the three of us were sleeping like logs! Suddenly, I woke up when I heard the door opening, and there, standing in the doorway, was a woman – well – the shadow of a woman… I grabbed my mobile and used the flashlight and…there was nothing there! So I said to myself: “/Fiona/Colin/, calm down, breathe… there are no such things as ghosts!” and I tried to go back to sleep.
Later, the door opened again and I saw the woman again. But this time, she was sitting on my bed. I completely freaked out and screamed at the top of my voice. Suzy woke up, jumped out of bed and turned on the light and there was… none, no woman, nothing!
The next morning, at breakfast, Suzy was telling the whole group what had happened and they were all making fun of me when an old crooked man came up to us and said: “ Hush, children! Your friend has seen the lady in grey, don’t make fun…it’s bad luck!”
