The haunted house from the book scary stories to tell in the dark a folklore tale retold by alvin schwartz narrated by me operator plays one time a preacher went to see if he could put a heart to rest at a house in a settlement the house had been haunted for about 10 years

Several people had tried to stay there all night but they always would get scared out by the haunt The preacher took his bible and went to the house he went inside built himself a strong fire and lit a lamp he sat down and began reading the bible then just before midnight he heard something start up in the cellar walking back and forth back and forth suddenly it sounded like someone was

Trying to scream but had been choked off tons of thrashing struggling filled the room and finally everything went quiet the old preacher took up his bible again but before he could start reading he heard footsteps coming up the cellar stairs he sat watching the door to the cellar

And the footsteps kept coming closer and closer you saw the doorknob turn and when the door began to open he jumped up and hollered what do you want the door shut back easy like and there wasn’t a sound the preacher was trembling a little but he finally opened the bible

And continued reading his verses some time had passed before he laid the book on his chair and got up to mend his fire the haunt started walking again and step step step up the cellar stairs the old man sat watching the door seeing the doorknob turn and the door creep open it

Looked like a young woman he backed up and said with a quivering voice who are you what do you want the haunt sort of swayed like she didn’t know what to do before she faded out of sight the old preacher waited and waited frozen with fear

And when he didn’t hear any more noises he went over and quickly shut the door he was sweating and trembling all over but he thought himself a brave man and believed he’d be able to see it through the night so he turned his chair to where he could

Watch the door and he sat down and waited it wasn’t long before he heard the haunt start up again slowly step step step step closer and closer step step and he was right at the door the preacher stood up and held his bible up before him then

The knob slowly turned and the door opened wide this time the preacher spoke calmly in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost who are you and what do you want the haunt drifted right across the room straight to him and took hold of his coat tightly

It was a young woman that looked about 20 years old her hair was torn and tangled and the flesh was dropping off her face so you could see the bones and parts of her teeth she had no eyeballs but there was a sort of blue light way in the back of her eye

Sockets and she had no nose to her face then she started to speak it sounded like her voice was coming and going with the wind floating around the room like smoke she spoke of how her lover had killed her for her money and buried her in the cellar though he had never found

Where her cash was hidden she said if the preacher would dig up her bones and bury her properly she would rest she then told him to take the end joint of the little finger from her left hand and to lay it in the collection plate at the next church meeting

And with that the murderer would be revealed if you come here once more after that you shall hear my voice at midnight and i will tell you where my money is hidden you may give it to your church the haunt sobbed like she was tired and she sunk down towards the floor

And was gone the preacher found her bones and buried them in the graveyard the following day The next sunday the preacher put the finger bone in the collection plate and when a certain man happened to touch it it stuck to his hand the man jumped up and rubbed and scraped and tore at the bone trying to get it off he then began screaming madly as if

He was losing his mind shortly after he confessed to the murder and they took him to jail after the man was hung the preacher went back to the house one midnight and the haunt’s voice told him to dig under the heart he did and he found a large sack of money

Shortly thereafter the money was donated to the church and all was well however one thing still bothered at the priest where that haunt had a graft onto his coat the print of those bony fingers was burned right into it it never did come out You
