I heard a whisper

I went to my aunt's house because our parents were gone to dinner so they left us home and then I heard a whisper.

It came from the basement. I went  with my aunt to investigate because it was night and  I was scared to go by myself so I asked my  aunt if she could come  with me.

When we got to  the basement nothing was there in the

basement then we went back.    I was worried because I  heard a whisper and  it came from the rooms.When I got there  something was there but  i didn’t know what it was.

It was my nana and  she gave me a fright while  she was in her bed.

I was  terrified!
