靈異故事:The House in the Field 2(荒野小屋 2)

She told this to her circle of friends, and some of us decided to check the place out the following day (which was, fortunately, a Saturday). So, we met in the field at noon and tromped off to explore. What we found there was the typical old falling-apart farmhouse. Empty rooms (except for the equipment and such), creaky floorboards, and piles of wet shattered plaster, beer bottles, graffiti, and cigarette butts. Then we rounded the corner from the old living room to go upstairs, and each of us stopped dead in our tracks....
There were no stairs. Apparently, the stairwell had collapsed into the cellar long ago, leaving only a yawning opening 10 feet above a tangled pile of old timbers on the cellar floor below. And yet, Candy had sworn she had seen someone walk by an upstairs window. We explored the house more completely, now being VERY careful since we knew just how bad off the place really was. We didn’t find any second staircase, and there was no way to reach the second floor. Its a mystery that has remained unsolved, as in the middle of our exploration we heard the truck door slam outside, and we all beat a hasty retreat out the back so we wouldn’t get caught trespassing.
I don’t know if it was a ghost she saw, or if it were someone who could climb like an orangutan, but it’s all a moot point now. That house was demolished only one year later, and a nice shiny new modern split-level was erected in its place. I wonder if the owners of that house have any late night visitors...
她就把這件事告訴了我們這些朋友，有些人就決定轉(zhuǎn)天去看看究竟是怎么回事(正好第二天是星期六)。于是，星期六中午我們就在牧場(chǎng)集合去探險(xiǎn)了。進(jìn)去之后，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)其實(shí)這就是一所廢棄了的農(nóng)舍，空空的屋子(除了那些機(jī)器和甘草)，踩上去咯吱咯吱的地板，一堆一堆潮濕的墻皮脫落下來(lái)，滿地的啤酒瓶、煙蒂，還有墻上的涂鴉。隨后我們走過(guò)起居室來(lái)到拐角處準(zhǔn)備上樓，這時(shí)所有人都被眼前的景象驚呆了…

我不知道坎迪是不是看見(jiàn)了鬼，或者有人能像猩猩那樣爬上樓去，總之一切都沒(méi)有定論。一年后人們拆了老房子，隨后一座漂亮的現(xiàn)代建筑矗立在那里。我就在想，新房子的主人會(huì)不會(huì)有夜半來(lái)客呢…
