The Jacket

One day I was sleeping at my cousin's house. Me and my cousin got really bored so we went and sat with her brother's girlfriend. We sat in her bedroom and she got a catalogue out, she started telling us what she wanted in her new house. When all of a sudden my cousin came out with "do you know what, this house is haunted", I said "how would you know?". Then all three of us heard a creak next to the door, then my jacket got lifted up of the bed and it flew across the room and when I sat up to go and get my jacket, we heard another creak next to the door. Then my cousin said "that's how I know".

It was really scary when it was all happening, it felt like I was just frozen, especially as it all happened right next to me. At first when I heard the creak, I thought it was just my auntie messing around. And that night none of us could get to sleep, we were that scared.

The next day when I told my mum and dad about it, they just laughed at me and said I was making it all up, but I know what I saw and I saw it with my own eyes. My brother and sister believed me, but they were just about the only people that did. I didn't really understand why it happened and what made it happen and still to this day I am really confused about it.
