Sam moved into the house with a friend. She has known this friend for years. She has never spent any time in her friend’s house. There was a strange aura in this house. It was a large house with drab furniture everywhere but her room. During the daytime, Sam felt a slight uneasiness as though she was being watched. There were two chairs in the room but one bothered her. She did not know why because both chairs looked the same. The one by the door seemed alive. Sam shocked her head and tried to think of something else. Then night came, Sam climbed into bed and closed her eyes. She heard a banging on the door. She knew that her friend was away for the night. So, it could not be her. She lay still on the bed afraid to turn around. Suddenly she heard the door move. Slowly, Sam turned around and turned on a flashlight. She could not believe what she saw! The empty chair moved. Sam stared in shock as it moved again.

She thought that she was in a horror movie. As the chair moved one more time. She grabbed the other chair, broke the window and started to run. Behind her she could hear the empty chair chasing her. She kept running as fast as she could. She was in the the street and she saw a familiar car. It was her friend who looked perplexed. Sam tried to explain what happened and her friend thought that she was seeing things. Her friend drove back to the house. They entered the room. Sam looked at the window and it was unbroken. She looked for the chairs and she only saw one chair.
