Chapter 8 - The Haunted House - Adventures in Rapelo


Decripción: Adventures in Rapelo - Chapter 8 - The Haunted House (Basic level).


Rapelo had a spooky legend about a haunted house on the outskirts of the village. One night, the twins overheard some villagers talking about mysterious lights and eerie sounds coming from the abandoned building.

 

Natalia and Claudia were curious but a bit scared. They decided to investigate the haunted house to uncover the truth behind the ghostly rumors. Armed with flashlights and their brave spirits, they ventured into the dark building.

 

As they explored the house, strange creaking sounds filled the air, and the wind made the old shutters rattle. "Is it really haunted?" Claudia whispered, feeling a shiver down her spine. Just then, they heard a faint, sorrowful moan.

 

With trembling hearts, they followed the sound and found a small injured kitten hiding under a dusty sofa. The poor kitten was frightened and hungry. Natalia and Claudia knew they had to help the kitten, so they gently picked it up and comforted it with soft words.

 

Leaving the haunted house, they took the kitten home and named it Whiskers. They soon learned that the kitten's cries were mistaken for ghostly moans, adding to the haunted house's eerie reputation.
