The art museum was still open as I ran into the gallery. I looked wildly about with the book in my hand.I didn't know what had happened it was all so fast.Maybe I should start from the begining.I'm Cindy Evans It all started one day when my mom and dad told me that we were moving.The next day we packed up all our things into boxes.We would be moving in 3 day's.We would be moving to across town where there weren't very many houses mostly just woods some small streams.But that was it.Kids said it was haunted the houses must have been over 100 years old.Their aren't very many people out their.The days went by so fast the next thing I knew the moving men were here.We packed up all our things and got into the truck and drove away.When we got to the new house mom said I could look around when the moving men were unloading our stuff.I walked up to the front door it creaked as I opened it.The first thing I saw was dust it was all over everything.As I looked around I spotted the stairs.I slowly walked over to it like everything else it to was covered in dust.As I walked up the stairs they started to creakjust like the door.When I got to the top of the stairs their was a long hallway. Their were three bathrooms two of them connected to a bedroom their were four bedrooms but I wanted one with a bathroom.I knew mom and dad would want the bigger one of the two.So that left me with one bedroom to choice from.It was at the end of the hallway.as When I walked into the room a cold chill went up my spine.The room was empty except for two doors one was the door to he bathroom and the other to the closet I opened the closet door the door knob was covered with dust.Inside the closet was a wooden book.I stared at it a few moment's then slowly I reached my hand over to the box then I picked it up it was heavy.I carried it over to the wooden floor I set it down.Another chill came up my back.As I opened it their was a book it was strage why would someone put a bok in a box.Especally since nobody had lived here for about 50 years.How old is this book?Then I heard my mom call for lunch.After lunch I came back up to my bedroom I opened up the book it was a diary it was dated I gasped 1834 how old is this house I wondered?Then I read some more the writer of the diary was Susan King a local art museum was donated by the Kings in 1956.A old lady who worked their last name was King.All the kid in town said she was a witch.But I had made up my mind I had to see her.I grabbed the book and ran down stairs.The moving men had taken my bicycle out of the truck.I called to dad i'm going into town it would take aound 15 minutes to get to the art museum.When I got to the art museum I rushed to the front desk I asked for Mrs.King the lady at the desk said she was upstairs at gallery number 6.I raced down the hall to art gallery number 6 their was a old lady probley around the age 60.I came and said I think I found something that would interast you.Mrs.King looked at me like she was in a daze.Then she shook her had and said sorry but children are usually to scared to come up and talk to me.So what have you found a old painting.Oh no nothing that has to do with art.It's a book a diary really.She said let me have a look at it. I handed it to her.Oh my she gasped this is my great great grandmothers diary my family has been trying to find it for years.Where did you find it at? she asked.I replied well my family just moved to old house just today its near the woods and streams.I know exactly where your talking about.A part of my family used to live their along time ago.Thank so much for this I must show my family this.If you want you can invite your family over to dinner tonight seeing that you just moved here your mother probley won't have time to make dinner.That night we went over to dinner at the Kings house.When we drove home that night I thought that our new (well really it's an old house but to me it's new)house is still sort of scary seeing that someone lived here in 1834.The house must hold lot's of memorie's.But I could tell this would be a great place to live.I sure hope I can have more adventure's like this in my new house.
