The old house, standing alone and high on the moor appears, from the outside, to be dilapidated and deserted, but within, the myriad of voices that talk and scream in the night, are those of beings long departed from this earth, for the house has had many inhabitants over the years and all have mysteriously disappeared.

Locals had an idea that they had been spirited away, or that they had just ran away, too ashamed to admit that, as they'd been told, that the place was haunted.

Each time the house had appeared for sale, the price had been reduced, but buyers were few and far between, for who in their right minds would buy a house that had never had a surviving seller?

Now it stands there, the broken windows piling Autumns fallen leaves into the dark corners of the rooms.
Spiders, ever busy, weaving their intricate webs across the arms of long abandoned ceiling lamps.
Field mice scurry across the floors, that are heavily coated with years of dust.
They pay scant attention to the screams and the banging of doors, sounds which assail their tiny ears every night, for this is their home.

Moor House, the home of spiders and mice and "others."

Some hundred metres away, silent and still, is the swamp. It waits.

Waits, has it has done for many long years, for a new buyer to appear and attempt to renovate the once fine Moor House.

It is patient. It waits, as it always has.

Hi Bill,

Your introduction depicted me the atmosphere of "The Others" movie. It was really interesting and persuading to read the other parts. Thank you. :-)

Good evening Kitosdad,

Hello Richard. Actually "it" refers to the swamp. The occupants of the swamp are those that haunt the house.

Some hundred metres away, silent and still, is the swamp. It waits.

Waits, has it has done for many long years, for a new buyer to appear and attempt to renovate the once fine Moor House.
