I was alone in our house because my parents went shopping. It was about eight in the evening when this happened. I was in front of the television watching cartoons.
All of a sudden a bad tempest with thunders and lightning started. In a moment it started to rain cats and dogs. After about ten minutes the electricity went off due to a huge bolt of lightning. Then I went to look for the torch but I couldn’t find one.
Then I found a candle and I lit it immediately. All of a sudden I saw a man’s shadow and I heard a sound; tikk, tokk… that sounded like footsteps. My heart missed a beat and my face turned white. But then I realised that the shadow was the one of my mum’s favourite statue. And the sound was of the big clock.
Then my parents returned and we went to sleep. Altrough this wasn’t the first time this happened it was the scariest one.
