A noise from the street below
Mar 15th, 2010 by Justine Rothbart
I am sitting in my room and I just heard a loud noise outside. I opened the curtain and peered down into the street below. A man in a cape and a painted white face walks along the sidewalk. A short man runs away in a zig-zag formation looking like he just made that noise. A few people shout. About 10 or so people are following the caped man. Yup, it is another ghost tour. This has not been the first time I have seen a ghost tour. I have probably seen 3 or 4 from my window. There are so many different types of ghost tours in Edinburgh. That one was obviously very dramatic where people jump out and scare the tour. I went on 2 ghost tours where we looked at the hidden vaults underneath the city. One was a more historical tour and the other was a paranormal tour. I liked both of them because they were different. On the paranormal tour, we used a electromagnetic reader to see if there are any ghosts. The historical ghost tour told us stories about the people who used to live there. Maybe next time I look down at the street and see a person with a cloak and a painted white face it won’t be a tour guide, but and actual ghost…boo!
