The first　 __2__　 event that happened in that house was when my mother was about 10 years old.She was staying home sick with her brother.He had gone　 __3__　 to the kitchen when my mother heard a voice calling her name from the bottom of the stairs.The voice was __4__　 but that was impossible since the only other person in the house was her brother.That was followed by footsteps　 __5__　 the stairs to the top room.A few hours __6__　 her brother came up to see what she was doing.She asked him who the girl on the stairs was.He said there was no one in the house.

A few weeks later the __7__　 event happened.My grandmother was cooking supper in the kitchen.She turned around and two of the chairs were　 __8__.She pushed them in and went back　 __9__.About ten minutes later she turned around and three of the chairs were pulled out.My grandmother was quite　 __10__ by this because only my mother's little sister was home at the time.

The last event at the house was the　 __11__　 and the one that made them move away.Her elder sister Josie was babysitting her younger one，Sarah，when there was a knock on the door.Josie went to　 __12__　 it and no one was there.She went to the　 __13__　 for some water and when she returned to the living room，Sarah was　 __14__！She ran all over the house and　 __15__ found Sarah sleeping in her bed.This was　 __16__ because Sarah couldn't　 __17__　 the stairs without help because they were very steep.This frightened her so she woke up Sarah and　 __18__　 her downstairs.Then the phone rang.It was my grandma　 __19__ to say that my grandfather had died and she wouldn't be coming home that night.She was about to turn on the TV　 __20__　 she heard a woman's footsteps coming towards her.She turned around but nobody was there.
