Capítulo 25, Página 14
“Well,
that’s
mostly
because
they
don’t
like
to
go
where
a
man’s
been
murdered,
anyway—but
nothing’s
ever
been
seen
around
that
house
except
in
the
night—just
some
blue
lights
slipping
by
the
windows—no
regular
ghosts.”
“Well,
where
you
see
one
of
them
blue
lights
flickering
around,
Tom,
you
can
bet
there’s
a
ghost
mighty
close
behind
it.
It
stands
to
reason.
Becuz
you
know
that
they
don’t
anybody
but
ghosts
use
’em.”
“Yes,
that’s
so.
But
anyway
they
don’t
come
around
in
the
daytime,
so
what’s
the
use
of
our
being
afeard?”
“Well,
all
right.
We’ll
tackle
the
ha’nted
house
if
you
say
so—but
I
reckon
it’s
taking
chances.”
They
had
started
down
the
hill
by
this
time.
There
in
the
middle
of
the
moonlit
valley
below
them
stood
the
“ha’nted”
house,
utterly
isolated,
its
fences
gone
long
ago,
rank
weeds
smothering
the
very
doorsteps,
the
chimney
crumbled
to
ruin,
the
window-sashes
vacant,
a
corner
of
the
roof
caved
in.
The
boys
gazed
awhile,
half
expecting
to
see
a
blue
light
flit
past
a
window;
then
talking
in
a
low
tone,
as
befitted
the
time
and
the
circumstances,
they
struck
far
off
to
the
right,
to
give
the
haunted
house
a
wide
berth,
and
took
their
way
homeward
through
the
woods
that
adorned
the
rearward
side
of
Cardiff
Hill.
