So Funny! Diem is Afraid of Ghosts When She Hears Noises Upstairs
It was a quiet evening, and Diem was sprawled on the living room floor, drawing colorful pictures while her parents watched TV. Everything was peaceful until a sudden creak echoed from upstairs. Diem’s eyes widened, her hand frozen in mid-doodle.
“What was that?” she whispered, her voice shaky.
Her dad chuckled, barely glancing away from the television. “Probably just the house settling, Diem. Old houses like ours make sounds sometimes.”
But Diem wasn’t convinced. Another thump followed, this time a little louder. Her imagination started running wild, conjuring up images of ghosts and monsters lurking in the shadows.
“Mom! Did you hear that?” Diem’s voice was practically trembling now.
“Yes, sweetheart. It’s just the wind or the wood creaking. Nothing to worry about.” Her mother gave her a reassuring smile, but Diem was already clutching her sketchbook like a shield.
A few minutes passed, and the strange noises continued—creaks, taps, and what sounded like faint whispers. Diem’s eyes darted toward the staircase, her heart thumping faster than ever.
“What if it’s… a ghost?” she blurted out.
Her dad burst into laughter. “A ghost? Diem, you’ve been watching too many cartoons!”
Diem pouted, feeling embarrassed but still genuinely scared. “But… what if it is?”
Her dad got up and stretched his arms. “Alright, Miss Scaredy-Cat. Let’s go investigate.” He took her by the hand, and they crept up the stairs together.
When they reached the top, they discovered the source of the noise: an open window in the hallway swaying slightly in the breeze. The wind had been pushing it just enough to make it creak and rattle.
Diem let out a sigh of relief, her cheeks turning pink. “So, no ghosts?”
“Nope. Just a window trying to get some fresh air,” her dad said, winking.
They both giggled all the way back downstairs. But for the rest of the night, Diem made sure to stay extra close to her parents—just in case.
