The whole town for centuries has created ridiculous rumours. I mean, another ghost!? That’s like the gazillionth ghost we’ve heard so far. So I’m going to prove there is nothing to fear.
In the dead of night, I crept past my parents trumpeting snores. I had arrived at the gate of the New South Wales State Library. Lightning thrashed behind my back sneakily. BAH! This is nothing! The moon revealed rows of sharp teeth in sight. The gate danced in the wind shivering me to the bone. Bat’s screeched in my ear, brushing my dripping forehead. Get a grip! I told myself in an instant.
I tip-toed through the creaking door. Eerie whispers gripped onto me the entire time. “You’re here to prove this place isn’t haunted! Not be a scaredy cat the entire time!” I reminded myself. A shadow loomed over me as I flipped around. ARGH!!!!!!! There standing before my very eyes was a ghost hanging in mid-air! “Hello there! I’m your guide to the-” it began. Why had I suddenly stopped? I had fainted.
When I came to, the piece of glowing sheets was still there. “Why a-are you h-here? Are y-you here to k-kill m-m-me!?” I whimpered. “HA HA HA HA!!!!” it laughed. It kind of reminded me when clowns laugh like a total maniac. Anyways, the ghost still hadn’t answered my question! It explained that it was the ghost guide of the Library! I was in shock! For years, I had believed ghosts weren't real. Now, I had met an actual ghost in the flesh! Well not really in the flesh because they're already dead.
Suddenly, the etching of a ship was rising out of the ancient floor! It was truly an amazing sight. “Ah…Here’s our ride! Well then. Hop aboard!” the ghost exclaimed in glee. With caution, I climbed the rickety ladder onto the phantom-like ship. I was surprised it could still float around the entire trip considering its many holes. We passed the Mitchell Reading Room which was much of an interest to me.
