Our first place Elementary School entry was written by Chrissy Sopchyk, a fifth grader who attends the Prarie Hill School in Cary, IL. |
It was a plain boring day at Prairie Hill School. My two best friends Sam, Steph and I, Haley Martin, do what ever we can to get out of that classroom! Well one day our wish came true, we were going on a field trip to an old historical museum on Halloween! My whole class was so excited!
Before we knew it, it was the day of the field trip! The class got on the bus, and we were off. Everyone was so excited until we got closer. It was getting really foggy around our ankles and the sky was getting darker and darker as we got closer. Sam, Steph and I were so scared! By now we were the middle of nowhere.
As we pulled up I said the words I thought I'd never say "I actually wish I were in the classroom instead of on this field trip." My teacher, Mrs. Wavers, lead us into the creepiest house I had ever seen! By now Sam, Steph and I plus my entire class were freaking out.
Mrs. Wavers knocked on the huge front door of the museum. CREEEEEK! The doors slowly opened. There was a lady standing in the middle of the huge foyer. She had glasses on the tip of her nose and was dressed like she was going to a party or something fancy. As the lady took us around the museum Sam said she saw a ghost go up the stairs. Steph said she felt someone tap her so she turned around but nobody was there. When it was time to go in groups wherever you wanted in the museum, I heard people whispering. Since all three of us had felt, heard or saw something, right away we knew the museum was haunted.
Now all the kids except for Mrs. Wavers and the lady, who nobody actually caught her name, were feeling, hearing or seeing things. Finally, we convinced Mrs. Wavers that the museum was haunted and she believed us. Believe it or not she actually saw something too. All of us were trying to escape the museum. Soon we had noticed that all the doors and windows of the building were locked.
First, Sam went upstairs but all Steph and I saw was Sam getting swept in, the door blow shut and the door lock. Then Steph went up after Sam but the same exact thing happened. I didn't want to risk having the same thing happen to me, so I tried to find another way in. Finally, after 2 hours I finally found another way in. When I opened the door I ran and grabbed Sam and Steph and got out! As soon as we stepped out of the room we fell into a dark and deep hole.
"Haley." "What, what?" I said, sounding very confused. It was Mrs. Wavers. I had been sleeping in class the whole entire time! We were never actually going on a field trip. I was so relieved. Maybe staying in the classroom was better after all!
