It was just past midnight when we reached the old, abandoned mansion. My friends and I had heard rumours that the house was haunted or held some dark secrets. We were curious and looking for an adventure! However, we would never have gone if we'd known what was there.

We found a ladder in the corner of the room. So, we decided to go up and look. When we passed the dusty old portrait, a chill up my spine. When we got to the stairs and looked back, the eyes in the picture moved and stared at us.
We were frightened by the eyes staring at us, so we decided to get away from there and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, we heard some noises coming out from the fridge so we decided to open it up. I was scared to death when we opened it. Inside the fridge, we found out that the sound was being produced by alive frogs inside the fridge!

We returned from it with no sounds. We think we shouldn't disturb them.
Our car went out from there.
