The Red Light by Robert Kiskaden Read Free Book Online

blood. So many people through the years have
reported seeing a red light, this is the light that was in the
basement, the lantern covered in blood spinning and
swinging.
    Sarah sat at the desk with her mouth
open, she couldn’t believe that this was real, but she seen it all
happen, and now she read about it, this is why this house is
haunted, it was Mikes Great,Great,Great Uncle Silas that killed all
those people in the basement of this house.
    “ Mommy,” Mary said as she
walked in the door.
    “ Oh my God,” Sarah jumped
and pushed the chair backwards, she was so into what she had read
that Mary startled her. “What do you need sweetie?”
    “ I’m hungry, can we eat
soon?”
    “ Yes of course, let’s go
and make something now,” Sarah said.
    Sarah and Mary went downstairs, on
their way to the kitchen Sarah told Teddy to come down in a little
while because she was going to have dinner ready soon. Mary stood
on a chair helping her make dinner; she was tearing up the lettuce
for a salad, while Sarah cooked hamburger for Hamburger Helper, and
Mike was asleep on the couch.
    When dinner was ready Sarah went into
the living room and shook Mike’s shoulder, “Mike, wake up, dinner
is ready.”
    “ Okay, I’m coming,” he
said sluggishly.
    “ Teddy, come down and
eat,” Sarah yelled upstairs.
    “ Okay mom, I’ll be right
down,” he yelled back to her.
    A few minutes later everyone was at
the table, everyone loved Hamburger Helper so it was gone pretty
quickly, and Mary was proud of the salad she prepared, Sarah and
Mike ate almost all of it.
    The children finished their meals and
Sarah asked them to help her clean the table before they went
upstairs to play in their rooms, Mike went back to the couch and
was watching a movie on the television when Sarah finished she went
to the living room and sat down beside him.
    “ I seen a man get torn
apart then burnt to dust in the backyard today,” Sarah said calmly,
Mike was looking at her like she had lost her mind.
    “ Don’t give me that look I
know what I saw, and I have proof of what happened, right up there
in your aunt’s diary, she told every bit of the history of this
house, how your Great Great Great Uncle Silas murdered children and
killed some of the slaves in the basement here.”
    “ Look, I may have heard
something about that when I was a kid,” Mike said before being
interrupted by Sarah.
    “ You knew about this and
didn’t tell me?” Sarah had a look of disbelief.
    “ I didn’t think it was
true, you know how people tell kids scary stories to mess with
them.”
    “ Don’t look at me like I’m
crazy, I am so pissed and you better hope this isn’t happening to
the children, I swear I’ll…”
    “ You’ll what?” Mike
said.
    “ I’ll leave, and take the
kids somewhere safer than this damn place.” Sarah stormed out of
the room and went upstairs.
     

Chapter 10
     
    Sarah sat in the writing room working
on her book and after a while she fell asleep with her head lying
on the desk. She looked up to see someone standing in front of her
desk, it was a young woman with long blonde curls hanging down to
her shoulders, she was wearing a colonial style pink dress that
would have been beautiful if it weren’t for the blood covering the
entire front, and she had a long slit across her throat that was
wide open and dripping blood just as if it had been cut
recently.
    “ You have to get your
children out of this house,” the ghostly figure pleaded.
    “ This is our home now, we
aren’t the ones that need to get out,” Sarah replied in nervous
fear.
    “ He will kill you and your
children don’t you understand?” The woman slammed her hands down on
the desk but it made no sound, as she leaned forward almost face to
face with Sarah.
    “ Who will hurt me and my
children?”
    “ He’ll do more than hurt
you, y’all will be trapped here forever like the rest of us,” the
ghost woman said and was looking behind her and her
