"The Curse"

Some swore the house was haunted. Many people have gone into this house to try to spend the night... they never come back out. Many have searched the house to find the bodies, but many have failed. The reason I'm writing this is to prove that ghosts aren't real. I've decided to spend the night in the house. The way I see it if ghosts aren't real you will be reading this.
Before I go to the house, I stop at the library to research the history of the house. It turns out that it was made in the 1700's. The first people to live in the house were a poor family. It was a husband, wife, and their two sons. Turns out that their sons were conjoined. When they got them separated only one lived. Many that lived in the house say that they would here laughs from a small boy in the middle of the night. It was a while before anyone else lived in the house. It was now the beginning of the 1900's when someone else lived there. The next people that lived there were.... the mayor and his family. His son after one month of living there was diagnosed with cancer. What's odd is that anyone that lives there, their kid dies. Only one of their kids though. For some reason the deaths have gone from children to adults. The adults are the same kids that survived their first time being in the house.
I'm at the house. What creeps me out is the it's on Elm St. I decide that I'm going to sleep in the master bedroom. Just add some effect I grabbed a book of scary stories. Half way through the book I started to some hear strange sounds coming from the basement. I got up and walked downstairs. There was a little boy playing with cars sitting at the landing. When he turned to me I saw something I could never unsee. He was missing half of his face. It got up, screamed and ran at me. I shut the door and heard a thump. And about 12 more bangs. I opened the door and saw that it had ran into the door and fell all the way down the stairs. Now it's playing with its' cars again. When I shut the door the noises stopped. So I opened the the door again to notice that only the cars are there. I decide I'm being stupid. But I still can't go to bed so I go exploring. I check out the rest of the house. First I check out the attic. Furthest from the Basement. When I get up there I see something curled up in one of the corners. It's pitch black even when in the light of my flashlight. "Hello?", I say. No answer. I climb into the attic and walk up to it. It's not wearing clothes. It doesn't have any sign of a gender. It's skin is pure black, large white eyes, and Huge teeth. When I see this I scream. I run towards the exit. I see it making these weird hand movements. All of a sudden I'm lifted into the air and thrown against the wall. It starts clicking awkwardly. All I can think of is a Predator. This isn't an alien though. It gets up and starts walking towards me. I shine the light in it's face and it screams bloody murder. I drop from the wall and get up and dive down from the attic and Shut it. I can still hear the screaming from the attic. I run to the door and run out.
I run to the police tell them everything. They tell me I'm being stupid. They check out the house to demonic pitch-black demon, no boy with half a face, and no cars. I learned now why nobody comes out. Because once you go in. You never stop seeing the boy or the Pitch- Black Demon. Even when they put you in phsychiatric facility.
I am the Survivor!!!

Dear Mr. Prokey, have you read DIG ME NO GRAVE written by Robert E. Howard. It is one of the scariest stories ever written. Savagery and blood thirstiness ran rampant in that classic horror story. Read it, it's free online. That said there's too much expl
