THE GREYBRIAR HOUSE

When I was younger, my grandmother would always tell me tales about a house down the block called the “Greybriar House”. Not only is the place haunted with spirits looking for something to scare the newcomers, but also the halls of the house were also filled with blood with slaves, and soldiers from the Civil War. It made me scared like I was apart of a scary movie, or in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story, “The Fall of the House of Usher”. The screams begin at 3:33 am, the exact time every night. From 11:11, 1:11, 2:22, 4:44 and 5:55. All of it had to be the same number hour and minute. Due to the history of torturing that the owners did each and every night as a celebration for the family and neighbors down the block. There have been rumors that each group that tries to stay in the house, even for one night, will leave with one less. Along with these screams, there is constant banging in all rooms of the house. Broken windows, destroyed furniture in the house. One day, in late August 2015 a young man, middle aged went on his Facebook and got the address of the Greybriar house to meet his first love. That was also the night of his 21st birthday. So him all intoxicated, he walked up to the Greybriar house. He opened the door and went in after hearing what sounded like a woman yelling. The man looked for hours with no sight of where to meet his first love. Then a loud slam of the door locked the man in the house for eternity. No one has seen the man since that day, and no one is looking.
