That's SEW Not Funny

10/16/2023

 
Picture
It's that spooky time of year again - Halloween, a time when the air is charged with eerie excitement! Where I'm from in Louisiana, we are no strangers to tales that send shivers down your spine and shakes in your boots. As for me, I have an insatiable appetite for ghost stories! You know, those spine-tingling narratives that only old people can tell.

Fasten your seatbelts! Over the next two Fridays, We'll test the limits of your bravery and explore the darkest corners of the human imagination as we dive into these bone-chilling ghost stories. Prepare to be spooked...

There was once a man named Edward, who designed and built his own perfect house. He lived in it for many years until he eventually passed away. A new family moved in, but whenever they went into the basement—where Edward’s personal study had been—they would get the feeling that someone was watching them. One day, the father of the new family decided to fix up an old jacket, which every tailor in town had told him was beyond repair. So he went down to the old study, laid his jacket on a chair and then tried to see if there was anything in the old desk that could help him mend it. But the drawers were all locked, and he couldn’t find a key anywhere. The next morning, he came back down to find the key on the desk, all the drawers open and his jacket completely fixed.
moHow can you explain that and what would you do after?

Calling the cops. I’m not going down stairs in the first place and be very curious and why the drawers are lock? And plus I’m not going to live in the house in the first places when a person dies at their home and you getting a spooky feeling. And you think that there someone at the houses which IT IS!

Mims D 1a
10/18/2023 09:06:37 am

i agree with you i wouldnt live in that house in after i heard somebody died in it.

Martinez, P 3A
10/18/2023 02:34:14 pm

I strongly agree It's always something when someone passing away in a home especially when they died unexpectedly.

Jaylon w
10/18/2023 02:42:41 pm

Yea i feel same way because why would i if i suspect it's haunted

N Rainey 1a
10/18/2023 09:17:42 am

I disagree I’m not calling the cops cause they are not going to do anything I'm going to pack my things and leave

L Speed 1A
10/18/2023 09:31:58 am

I agree with Rainey the cops not doing anything

Martinez, P 3A
10/18/2023 02:35:58 pm

Why would we even call the cops in the first place? Like you said they aren't going to do anything obviously so why call them you know? Just leave or stay curious that's on you.

D Manuel 1a
10/19/2023 08:43:06 am

I agree, the police cant do anything other then investigate when it comes to supernatural events so I would just pack up and get out.

Amalio Garcia 1A
10/18/2023 09:26:10 am

I disagree with this because what would the cops do, homie is dead and not able to be touched by humans, I agree on leaving but some ghost can be attached to you depending on how they feel.

J. RockwellI 3a
10/18/2023 11:17:37 am

wtf then going to do about a spirit so i don't agree

D lopez 3a
10/18/2023 11:23:55 am

i disagree because the cops wont help you get a ghost out your house.

Jaylon w
10/18/2023 02:43:42 pm

Exactly cops fight crime not ghost

D Hurth
10/18/2023 01:46:40 pm

I disagree , I would not call the police because even if it was a ghost what would they be able to do about it? They cant fight paranormal activity with guns.

A Bradley 4A
10/18/2023 03:00:51 pm

I agree, because I would definitely leave this place since other people died from there and it's a spooky place

D Manuel 1a
10/19/2023 08:42:23 am

I agree with this comment because unless I have some type of protection why would I even go down the stairs in the first place let alone live in the house.

A Bradley 6B
10/19/2023 10:49:01 am

I partially agree because I believe you should talk with your family first to see if someone messed with the drawers and your jacket, but if nobody in your family did, I would then call the police because the only explanation is that some stranger that you don't know about inside your house.

Ross,S 4 A
10/19/2023 11:40:49 am

I disagree with you because what are the police going to do, they aren't the ghostbusters their here to fight living things not the supernatural stuff and if someone broke into the house, I'm sure they not coming to fix nobody jacket.

D Davis 6B
10/19/2023 07:05:51 pm

I disagree, the most the police will do is tell you you're crazy and that it was someone in your family.

Mims.D 1A
10/18/2023 09:05:14 am

i would move out that same day and not bring nothing from that house with me and just start a new life in a diff state.

C Da Silva 1A
10/18/2023 09:11:16 am

I agree, I would try to get out of there as soon as possible. I don't know if I would try to figure out what it was first or if I would just leave. No matter what the outcome is I think I would leave tho. calling the police could maybe help as well, since they could investigate.

Shankle, A 1A
10/18/2023 09:13:06 am

I agree with you are saying about moving out of the house and i also agreed by not bringing anything at the house you don't want to bring anything that could be possessed. I would't be around that house feeling uncomfortable around your own house.

N Rainey 1a
10/18/2023 09:16:53 am

I agree that’s scary and I wouldn’t wanna live in a house that I don’t feel comfortable in

L Speed 1A
10/18/2023 09:28:28 am

I agree I'm calling the cops and leaving right away.

Sergio Morales link
10/18/2023 01:40:37 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-
Come on....he fixed your jacket though? At least give him some company, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.(probably)

Starr,K 1A
10/18/2023 09:12:16 am

I would say that the dead man probably opened it. I would go into dective mode and try to figure it out and see if his spirit is real or if it is just a concidence that they are unlocked or if I just didnt pull them open hard enough or if someone broke in.

Shankle ,A 1A
10/18/2023 09:19:20 am

I disagree about how you go and deceive mode about seeing and finding out what happened and who did it. Because i would leave the house in the first place if they showed me to the house that there was a man that died in his own house.

D Costilla 4A
10/18/2023 02:41:45 pm

I would do the same! Knowing me my curiosity would most likely get the best of me, and I would also go into detective mode. And if I were to find out that it's Edward's spirit, I would most likely thank him for helping me, and I would try to ask him what's his intention is. But I would definitely not move out because of this.

J. Kinard 4A
10/20/2023 02:46:09 pm

I'm not sure that dead people could open the drawer. However, given the circumstances and the context of the story, it wouldn't be the most far-fetched idea to assume some paranormal activity occurred.

C, Ramirez 3A
10/20/2023 08:03:11 pm

I would agree that they're many explanations for what might have happened. I would say that maybe investigating what happened might not be a good idea since often it goes wrong. Leaving everything alone like nothing happened or leaving could be the best idea.

N Rainey 1a
10/18/2023 09:16:04 am

I think the man’s soul is in the house so he probably did it and I would probably move because that’s scary and I would be uncomfortable knowing that I couldn’t get the stuff open and then it’s Magically open the next day

C Da Silva 1A
10/18/2023 09:26:08 am

I also think it was the first owners soul that did it because what else could it have been. although I agree with the moving part I would first like to have the police investigate the house just in case that it wasn't actually a spirit and somebody just broke in, if they find nothing related to a break in i'm moving out that same day.

J Lira 7B
10/20/2023 11:47:43 am

Definitely especially for the fact that somebody died in that house. However what if his kids opened the drawers with a random key they found. But yes I'd definitely move out if I knew somebody died in there.

C, Ramirez 3A
10/20/2023 08:06:43 pm

I also think there might be a spirit in the house, but I honestly wouldn't move out. It is creepy though the thought that it may happen again, and he opens the drawers. The most eerie thing about what happened is feeling like you're being watched.

C Da Silva 1A
10/18/2023 09:18:14 am

The way I would describe it is that edwards spirit is responsible for what happened. My reasoning is that he passes away and lived there so it's the only logical explanation to me. What I would do is that I would call the police for it to be investigated and depending on what they find or do I might try to move somewhere else.

Amalio Garia 1A
10/18/2023 09:33:59 am

I agree on calling the cops but I would ask on how Edwards' died and how long ago was It to know about the haunting on the house

J. Kinard
10/20/2023 02:47:11 pm

I agree that Edward's spirit may still live there. However, I doubt the police will find anything, and that's under the assumption that they would believe you in the first place.

E Martinez 1A
10/22/2023 08:27:33 pm

I agree I would call the cops to make sure it wasn't anyone that might've broke in or something

Amalio Garcia Jr 1A
10/18/2023 09:23:19 am

A perfectionist was living there as a ghost and saw that jacket all damaged and decided to fix it and saw the person was looking for tools he gave them the keys to open the drawers and left them open. I would try to communicate and let him now If he a good ghost if not then I'm leaving and blessing the place so it doesn't leave and follow me.

N Jones 1a
10/18/2023 09:44:18 am

I disagree with this take because how would you communicate with a ghost

Amalio Garcia 1A
10/18/2023 11:02:08 am

A spirit box search it up on YouTube.

C Valdez 1A
10/18/2023 09:54:16 am

I would also try to figure out if the ghost had good or bad intentions because I wouldn't want the ghost bothering my family. If I decided to leave the house for whatever reason I would make sure to bless it as well for the same reason. I think the ghost is probably nice because he did the favor of repairing the jacket but I wouldn't want to live in a house with spirits either way.

C.scott 1a
10/18/2023 02:32:30 pm

Definitely with you on this one i mean you can communicate and find out i mean it wouldn't hurt to try... that'll be a cool story to share with someone " oh i lived in this house where this man passed away and i communicated with his spirit and he was quite a nice guy he even helped me fix up this jacket i was planning on"

C Valdez 1A
10/18/2023 09:25:39 am

I think that the house would either be haunted or it was a coincidence and someone in the family had fixed the jacket for me. If I was the father I would keep trying to figure out if the house is haunted. If the house was haunted and Edward was the one that fixed the jacket I would put him to work or leave because I wouldn't want to live in a house that feels uncomfortable.

J Hernandez 3A
10/18/2023 12:31:50 pm

The house is most definetly haunted by the old man.

Sergio Morales link
10/18/2023 01:35:43 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-
You must be joking...
You're literally thinking like a true cliche horror protagonist.
I respect "putting him to work" though.
Edward's got talent for fixing that jacket.

D. Hurth
10/18/2023 01:49:46 pm

I agree that it could be a coincidence , someone could've went behind him and fixed the jacket, and not a ghost.

C.scott 1a
10/18/2023 02:29:18 pm

I meannnn true and all, but where was the harm?? u can't live ur life in a home someone passed in?? he could be a nice little friend whose spirit stayed where his talent was.

D Costilla 4A
10/18/2023 02:43:46 pm

I would also think someone in my family had moved things around and fixed my jacket. Mainly because that's the most reasonable explanation. I would definitely ask my family about this matter, and let them be aware of what just happened.

Madi Snyder 6B
10/19/2023 11:15:08 am

Girl you are better then me. I would not even saying anything else. I would just go, the ghost can mess and kill them but not me, i got things to do and places to be. Plus if I said something to my family they would purposely play tricks on me.

A Bradley 6B
10/19/2023 10:50:56 am

I agree because I would communicate with all of my family to see if anyone fixed the jacket or messed with the drawers. I wouldn't instantly assume there was a ghost or that the house is haunted just because someone died inside the house.

L Speed 1A
10/18/2023 09:34:11 am

I would just leave and don't even call the cops because they ain't doing anything.

N Jones 1a
10/18/2023 09:41:58 am

I forsure think its the 1st owners spirit in the basement but after the jacket fixing itself I would , consider moving out but before all that I would get it investigated before i move out my perfect home

J. RockwellI 3a
10/18/2023 11:17:03 am

that your opinon it going to bother me

J Hernandez 3A
10/18/2023 12:30:29 pm

Yes, the old man spirit remains in the basement of the house.

J. RockwellI 3a
10/18/2023 11:16:27 am

i don't agree i'm going to live there because i don't care if someone has died in a house or not i'm barely in the house just to sleep so i'm going to live in the house

D lopez 3a
10/18/2023 11:22:52 am

I dont agree because im not staying in a house where someone has died in.

Hernandez A 4A
10/18/2023 03:14:33 pm

This post is not thinking right,because if I was told that somebody died in the house I would just not accept the house.

D Lopez 3a
10/18/2023 11:20:02 am

Never in my life would i live in a house where someone has died in. If i found out that the drawers were open, i'm packing my stuff and leaving. I wouldn't know what to do in the situation but for one thing im not staying there.

James Leslie 1A
10/18/2023 02:39:09 pm

I agree because its already creepy as it is

E.maso3a
10/19/2023 09:47:18 am

I agree but would you ask family members? Would you verify to make sure nobody messed with the jacket?

N Smith 3a
10/18/2023 12:29:01 pm

I think that the basement is where the former owners spirit is staying and if i was the current owners i was leave immediately

James Leslie 1A
10/18/2023 02:39:53 pm

I agree because they always live in the basment or the attic in movies

Jadon Hernandez 3A
10/18/2023 12:29:23 pm

The ghost opened all the drawers and fixed the jacket. The man that used to live in the house haunts it.

x.jordan
10/18/2023 02:45:33 pm

agree because maybe he's trying to scare them away

Sergio Morales link
10/18/2023 01:27:19 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-Realistically if you believe ghosts exist or not, Edward is probably still alive. Whenever anybody went down to the basement , they got the feeling of being watched. Maybe Edward was actually down there watching them, watching them within the walls or something. And maybe the reason he faked his death, was to see what they would do to his precious study. To only find a father wanting to fix his jacket with the help of his study. Or he's gone crazy and is looking to give this family a bad time. If so, call the police. There is no reason to believe that it was a kind gesture to fix the jacket. For all you know it could be a taunt.

x.jordan
10/18/2023 02:48:02 pm

agree he might not be dead he might be living in the walls of his house cause he did build his home

D Hurth
10/18/2023 01:42:25 pm

I would live my life in my new house , I don't believe in paranormal activity . The things happening could be coincidences and can be explained. I would not waste time getting a priest or calling the police because nothing will change.

Hernandez A 4A
10/18/2023 03:48:14 pm

This post might be right,I could just ask my family members who did it and then I won't have any concerns about the lost key being found,the drawers being unlocked,and a jacket fixed into perfect condition.I would start living the life in my new house with my family and having to worry about anything at all.

T Samuels 6b
10/19/2023 11:09:49 am

I honestly think that the police couldn't do anything for you, so your best bet is to move.

C.Cofield 3A
10/20/2023 11:33:44 pm

Honestly I would strongly agree with this comment in particular mostly because I feel like there is more than just a human living in that home. So I would have to just move to get a new home.

C.Scott 1A
10/18/2023 02:26:18 pm

To be honest if i came back down to that i would definitely be spooked as hell , bur me being me i would'nt leave the house because I am a curious person. I mean I would want to see what the spirit would do next. i mean could it be a friendly spirit or a bad one. Coming back down to that I didnt see no harm he just helped lmao

cook T,
10/18/2023 03:29:22 pm

i disagree i feel all spirits are bad lol

D Davis 6B
10/19/2023 07:14:26 pm

Better than me, I'd get spooked from that and want to leave instantly. I'm not curious and I don't want to take the change of the "spirit" being bad and something end up happening.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 7b
10/19/2023 11:45:10 pm

Low key I would investigate as well for a bit till I found out if I was safe or not. I am nosey and I like playing things safe.

M Contreras 6B
10/20/2023 09:17:40 pm

Yes I would definitely be scared. And unlike you I would want to leave because I wouldn’t feel safe in there. However you’re right the ghost didn’t do any harm if anything they helped.

D Costilla 4A
10/18/2023 02:36:30 pm

I'm not going to lie, I would definitely be scared as hell. I will first be scared and confused, but mostly scared. I would then try to consider the fact that maybe someone in my family could've messed around with the stuff downstairs. I would make sure to ask my family. And if everyone in my family denied all these claims, I would for sure then be extra alarmed and scared. It's just overall creepy. I'm not going to lie, I would probably thank the ghost. Because that's just so sweet of him!!

T Samuels 6b
10/19/2023 11:08:36 am

I definitely would be a little spooked at first but then I wouldn't think the ghost is harmful because he helped me out.

J Lira 7B
10/20/2023 11:52:33 am

Personally I would have moved out because why live in a house where someone died, that's already creepy by itself. Or put insurance on the house then burn it “accidentally”.

E Martinez 1A
10/22/2023 08:23:14 pm

I agree I would be sacred a little bit but I would make sure to ask my family to see if they did it

James Leslie 1A
10/18/2023 02:38:28 pm

I would instanlty leave the house.Im not putting my self in that postiton .Im not staying to see what happns next just to die or get posseesd.

cook T
10/18/2023 03:25:11 pm

lmaoo i agree with you 100%

Ross, S 4A
10/19/2023 11:37:38 am

I agree with you because any sane person isn't going to continue on about their lives, we are selling that house for cheap.

Williams J 1A
10/20/2023 10:42:05 am

I agree with that too because I think a lot of people would have that instinct to end up doing that too

C.Cofield 3A
10/20/2023 11:26:07 pm

I strongly agree with this statement because my first thought in that situation would be to leave and then get somebody to check out the house for all types of stuff not gonna lie. Simply because I would think its ghost or somebody else in the home.

jaylon w
10/18/2023 02:41:57 pm

His spirit still lives in the house but ill probably move out

x jordan 4A
10/18/2023 02:42:17 pm

i move out the same day because it is kinda scary that the desk was locked but when he came back everything was opened

Hernandez A 4A
10/18/2023 02:57:36 pm

I would be frozen in fear if I found out that something or someone had found the key,unlocked the drawers,and repaired the jacket.The next time if I notice something that is out of the ordinary I would just let it slide for a few more days,then I would call out the family for a discussion about the things that I noticed that are out of place or just appeared out of nowhere,and make a vote if whether or not to move out of the place.

e.maso 3a
10/19/2023 09:45:29 am

I agree with your decision. Its the safe choice and theres nothing wrong with the safe choice.

J. Kinard 4A
10/18/2023 03:01:53 pm

Perhaps another family member, maybe the mother, knew what the father was trying to do, found the key, and fixed the jacket as a surprise? I'm not one to believe in ghosts, and maybe the mother wanted to help her husband out that night.

cook T
10/18/2023 03:13:12 pm

i'm black so i'm not asking no questions i'm just going to go upstairs pack my stuff get my dog and go to a hotel ASAP. i know that i would live alone with my dog Ringo so i know for a fact if i didn't do it a ghost most definitely did and now its time to go the ghost can have the house i could find a new one.

M Johnson 2 1A
10/20/2023 03:08:29 pm

Living alone would be a scary situation if this ever happened, including if you're with a pet. I would also immediately leave if I experienced this.

E.maso 3a
10/19/2023 09:44:47 am

i would most likely not pay too much attention to it. Though i would be very curious i would most likely just say it was somebody in my family. Im a big believer in god so i think ill probably just forget about it in a couple of minutes.

jadian rivers 7b
10/20/2023 02:33:49 pm

i agree because this is defintly me. i will let god handle it and mind my business

A Bradley 6B
10/19/2023 10:33:25 am

I would simply assume that someone else in the house found the key and went looking through the drawers, and that they also fixed the jacket rather than think there is ghost and be fearful over something that might or might not be there.

C. Deane 6B
10/19/2023 11:34:37 am

I disagree with you, because you can't just avoid the the possibility of what could have happened, and then your house in actually haunted and ruining you home life.

M Contreras 6B
10/20/2023 09:08:47 pm

I also thought that someone was in the house. I wouldn’t be thinking about a ghost. I would still be scared because that’s creepy.

T Samuels 6b
10/19/2023 11:04:54 am

The only explanation for the jacket being fixed and the key being on the desk is that the ghost did it. I honestly would have gone back up the stairs and did research on the man who built the house. Depending on what I find would determine if I would want to move or not.

Madi Snyder 6B
10/19/2023 11:13:26 am

what if someone was hidden in the walls of the house though. Have you ever seen the movie "the boy" in the second one the "spirit" was hiding in the walls and messing with people. Your brave for staying, I would be out too quick.

C. Deane 6B
10/19/2023 11:38:45 am

I completely agree with this comment, you never know the possibilities, assuming the worst is the best thing to do in this situation.

Madi Snyder 6B
10/19/2023 11:12:02 am

I think the someone else in the house or even the walls of the house had the key and fixed the jacket of the man. Personally i don't mess with that stuff and if i walked down and saw that I would pack my things and leave. Whoever is messing with me can keep the space. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Nox ( Katelyn) Sears 8b
10/19/2023 11:43:37 pm

Okay this reminded me of the saying stupid things happen to stupid people. anyways but yeah nah they can keep the house im out.

C. Deane 6B

I would tell my family to make sure that it wasn't them, but after that and they said it wasn't them, I would probably have someone come check out the house. If they say yes its a ghost, i'm taking all my clothes down there that need to be fixed. I would leave at that and not interfere with is hobby.

I agree it would be important to make sure it wasn't anyone in my family and have the house checked out for intruders or ghosts. If there is a ghost I think using the ghost to get clothes fixed is the best thing to do so that you get something out of it.

I agree with your statement it makes a lot of sense.

Williams J 1A
10/20/2023 10:33:32 am

I agree with that because I am pretty sure my people would be in the house at that moment.

You should also check the home in case anything else was messed with. There could be signs on who really did it.If it really was the spirit then its a good idea to leave.

In my opinion, there is no explanation for his besides the house is haunted. What I would do is pack my stuff and get out because I don't think anyone would think that this normal and calling the cops isn't going to save you cause what they gone do?

D Cruz 3A
10/20/2023 03:46:40 pm

Agreed. The police aren't going to do anything, so it's pointless to even call them. They're more than likely not even going to believe you. So therefore, it's better to take matters into your own hands.

I'd probably ask my family if it was them that did it and if not, I'd leave. Good or bad, I don't like spirits. I probably wouldn't be in the situation to begin with because I don't like living in places people have lived in before me.

Why not take a chance? What if the ghost is chill? They fixed your jacket and you are gonna act like that? I think the real evil spirit is you.

1. never go in a basement. 2. don’t play with spirits. 3. never buy a house that someone passed away in. If that happened to me. I would cleanse the house and then say “ I am sorry for disturbing you and then move out. I’m not pissing off spirits I’m good rather stay on their good side. How do I feel about this situation wellllll unsettling but it’s nothing out of normal. I watch a lot of paranormal investigations.

yea i agree because yea im scared and stuff but im not finna go exploring or looking for more stuff imma pretty much mind my own businesses

Tyren Dickerson 4A

I don't like to play with spirits either

Alexandra link
10/20/2023 02:51:54 pm

I agree I don’t play with them that why I said the person who didn’t tell them someone died in that house is crazy to me

Williams J 1A
10/20/2023 10:31:48 am

I wouldn't be in that house in the first place because If i get a spooky feeling or something ain't right I leave pr surround myself by more people. On top of that I would just call the police because I'm not the type to investigate.

Alexandra link
10/20/2023 02:50:45 pm

I agree if I got feeling first walking in there no i would have never got the house in the first place because I got a feeling for a reason

Tyren Dickerson 4A
10/20/2023 02:52:42 pm

I feel the same way if I feel a sense that I'm in danger I'm leaving

First off why would anyone live in a house where somebody died; the original owner is most likely haunting it still. In this situation I would sell the house as soon as possible, or if im planning to stay I'd at least try to bless the house. However I also believe that one of the kids found the keys somehow and unlocked the drawers.

Nicholas Parker 7B
10/20/2023 08:54:48 pm

I completely agree with your statement, it makes no sense to live in a house that people died in.

R. Rinehart 5B
10/20/2023 09:32:21 pm

Why not live in a house that someone died in? Worst case scenario you have a challenge.

jadian rivers 7b
10/20/2023 02:30:55 pm

one i wouldnt even be in that house or near it but . if i was i would start a bussiness and put stuff down there to get fixed and get paid for it .

Romello Groomes
10/20/2023 02:58:23 pm

I agree i would of been tryed to move

Alexandra link
10/20/2023 02:48:51 pm

I feel like I would have left the house because I went up there and it was locked and then went back and it was unlock and the jacket was fix and the person how sold them the house didn’t tell them some one died in the house .

Tyren Dickerson 4A
10/20/2023 02:50:15 pm

I wouldn't live anywhere a person died but if I did I would start an airbnb and make enough money to buy another one and just keep doing the same thing

M. Evbuomwan
10/20/2023 11:46:28 pm

I agree I wouldn’t live any where I wasn’t comfortable in and would feel like leaving immediately

M Johnson 2 1A
10/20/2023 02:58:40 pm

The jacket was likely fix by the spirit. I would thank him and most likely leave. I do not want to feel as though I invaded a home that is lived in.

D Cruz 3A
10/20/2023 03:21:18 pm

I agree and like the way you thought about this. Maybe the man's spirit did that out of kindness and that he just wanted to help the inevitable according to others. Leaving the home because of his spirit and not wanting to evade his home is also a good way of thinking.

C.lott 3A
10/20/2023 05:30:24 pm

I agree, because spirits wouldn’t just move and do things on their own. I can definitely say that i wouldn’t personally move in the first thing i realize weird. The spurts would have just did it for me

Romello Groomes
10/20/2023 03:00:10 pm

I feel like that is a ghost messing with them like the hause haunted and I would call the cops just incase its something else

M. Evbuomwan 8b
10/20/2023 11:48:41 pm

Yes I think it’s a good idea not to immediately assume ghost and checking out other possibilities

D Cruz 3A
10/20/2023 03:16:28 pm

I would probably leave, but not after that. I may want to get a few more clues or ideas that the house is haunted before I assume. I would try to think on the bright side instead of immediately thinking to leave. However, I more than likely wouldn't have moved into that house to begin with if I know that someone died in it.

C.lott 3A
10/20/2023 05:15:50 pm

I agree, cause you don’t want to just assume something. I would definitely recommend finding more things about it then leaving. I just really wouldn’t even considering living there at all after that.

lott.c 3A
10/20/2023 05:13:52 pm

I would not even call the cops first of all. The only thing they would be able to do is investigate and ask questions in regard of the house or moving. I would just pack and leave that very moment

M Contreras 6B
10/20/2023 05:44:28 pm

First of all I wouldn’t even live in a house that has had someone die in it. Then I would assume someone is playing a joke on me because it doesn’t make sense. Finally I probably be confused and not understand the situation.

Diaz Z 1A
10/20/2023 10:18:18 pm

I disagree with your statement because many people have died in housed, maybe even yours so that could be a false statement. Assuming someone is playing a joke is reasonable but who would just take it as a joke, im gonna think my house his haunted. Agree with your last statement though I think we would all be confused about this bizaree situation.

C, Ramirez 3A
10/20/2023 07:55:52 pm

There are two ways this could've happened. Maybe his kids or wife went down there and had the key to the drawers, or maybe it might have been Mr. Edward's spirit. In my honest opinion I would be spooked but not enough to make me move out. I would, of course, leave whatever happened downstairs alone and not mess with it, just in case it is a spirit. Also, I would wear the jacket because it's fixed, and that's what matters. I would pay tribute to Mr. Edwards since I don’t want to disrespect the spirit if there is one.

Nicholas Parker 7B
10/20/2023 08:54:00 pm

Personally i think that he should not call the cops or anything, and he should be glad that all of the drawers were open. Since they were all locked at one point

R. Rinehart 6B
10/20/2023 09:26:50 pm

We are about to Scooby Doo that as soon as it happens. First off, its a ghost tailor obviously. Don't believe it? you're wrong, I said so, so there. He saw him wanting his jacket back and felt bad and thought to himself "That jacket is pretty swank though...." and proceeded to use that ghostly serum to repair the jacket. Mystery solved, easy.

Diaz Z 1A
10/20/2023 10:16:07 pm

Most definetly agree with this, a ghost tailor would be the only explanation to the jacket being fix. Its not like a random person would sneak in and do it .... Or would they? Who reallly knows but i would be scooby and run away from the danger.

A Giles 6B
10/20/2023 11:53:10 pm

With this hypothetical idea it would be cool for it to actually be true.. BUT if it was the real world oh heck no.. I will be leaving as soon as I see what has happened. I don’t mess with that type of stuff. I find it cool but not cool to mess with.

Diaz Z 1A
10/20/2023 10:14:26 pm

The only thing that can explain this weird situition would have to be a ghost or a enity doing these things. At first these "things" seem helpfull and that's was this "thing" wants the guy to think, up until it can suck all the body energy to be more powerfull and take over. So in short words i would hire a priest or a "witch" to bless the house and block all these "things" from staying in the house with me.

R. Brown 7B
10/20/2023 11:18:07 pm

Yeah I guess I see what you mean, but at the end of the day I’m not the one to be waiting around with some “entity” around me. I’m paranoid as is so I would’ve just moved.

A Giles 6B
10/20/2023 11:56:29 pm

The hiring a priest is a really good idea because it could be a ghost but one that is trying to lure you into the darkness, so yeah why not try to get rid of them. Better safe than sorry …

C.Cofield 3A
10/20/2023 10:55:26 pm

Not going to lie if that was me in that situation I would most likely be spooked. At the same time I would call someone who could come over to help immediately. Mostly because I think there is someone other than me staying in the house.

R. Brown 7B
10/20/2023 11:16:41 pm

I’m curious who you would call in a situation like that?? It’s a very peculiar circumstance and I for one would definitely not like to be in that position either.

R. Brown 7B
10/20/2023 11:15:19 pm

Honestly I would even know how to explain that situation. It’s completely weird but at the same point any other family member could’ve just so happen to put the key on the desk. Even though that seems very unlikely. I personally wouldn’t have stepped a food in that room again due to the fact that the family always felt like someone was watching them and I don’t like that. I’m not about to just deal with that.

A Giles 6B
10/20/2023 11:43:11 pm

To be honest I would probably freak out about the situation and move out of the household. No one could find the key so how come it would magically appear in a weird basement where the people thought they were being watched. I think someone was probably living down there in the basement somewhere and saw that he needed help so that’s what they did. Also while finding out I would also call the cops to search the area cause.. no thanks

M. Evbuomwan 8b
10/20/2023 11:43:47 pm

I don’t think calling the police is the best thing to do in this situation because they wouldn’t be able to do much at all, yes I would be spooked so I think I’d just leave instead of dragging other people into the situation with me

E Martinez 1A
10/22/2023 08:15:18 pm

it was probably the mans spirit in the house doing what he usually did before he passed I would probably move out the house because I would be freaked out.
