Tension of the House

The broken house
the lonely visitor
the hollow door
the pearling bang
the ghostly bats
the creaking door
the heavy heart the echoed footsteps 
the scuttling rats
the dusty house
the thick cob- webs
the scared person
the cackl laughs
the miserable murmurs
the sorrowful cry
the white cloak
the flickering lights
the foggy steam
the dodgy electricity
the lonely visitor
the sudden shock
the creeping noise
the pale face
the hard thump
the cold face
the sad ending.

I am Virginia Otis

My name is Virginia Otis,

I live at Canterville Chase.

But something's not right,

Because in the night,

I keep getting slapped in the face!

I have no idea what it is,

When I go to bed I sleep in fear,

When I wake up it's only strange noises I can hear.

The rest of my family don't really care,

If there's something lurking here and there.

They hear clanging chains and shreeking moans,

But all they do is groan!

There's a blood stain in my dining hall,

But my brother manages to clean it all.

My name is Virginia Otis, I live in a haunted house.

I'm so scared, somebody help!

Character of Virginia

Virginia is peaceful,
She is soft as wool.
The one who is relaxed and calm,
And doesn't like to harm.

Virginia is kind,
She doesn't mind
Sir Simon.
She is well behaved,
And politely waves.

Virginia likes to help,
People that can barely yelp.
Her hands are gentle,
Nothing can make her go mental.

Virginia

Virginia was different from the rest,
I would say out of her family, she's the best.
She was very different from the others,
Like the dust on the bedsheet covers.
She's not scared of anything, nothing at all,
She has two brothers that she really admires.

Virginia Otis

Virginia Otis, that is my name
Ans this new house is very strange.
Everyday there is blood on the floor,
And in the night a ghost bangs on the doors.
He killed the residents that lived here,
He infiltrated there dreams, and left them in fear.
He says Stars and Stripes were killers,
Maybe he should look in the mirror!

The both of us are mis-understood,
Even though he can't be seen as good.
We're an odd combination like a cat and mouse,
But I'll do anything to get him out of my house!

I'm Virginia Otis

I'm in a new house all of a
sudden.
My American family and me
We were told a ghost was here,
But everyone said we're not scared,
me too but I couldn't
Say me three.
I'm soft hearted, is what I'm told,
But what if there's a story about
to unfold.
I think this house is great,
But what actually haunts this
Place?
The rest are strong and have a
Solution for everything.
Where as I am more emotional and
Maybe do not have a strong belief in
America.
Or is it just me,
Or is something wrong with me.
Is it?

Virginia from The Canterville Ghost

Virginia is nothing like the rest,
She knows her family will be in for a test.

Her family will be in for a treat,
If they pester more, they're all dead meat!

Virginia is brave, she will help the ghost,
After all, she cares about him the most.

She is helpful, thoughtful and kind,
Whatever goes on in that little girls mind?

What did the ghost do to make her agree?
Would he ever let her be free?

In the end Virginia was right,
She knew her family will be in for a fright.

When she was all alone and lost,
This made the family give a massive cost.

Virginia came back home with jewels,
Her Dad took them away, how cruel?

So that was the story of the Otis family,
Next time they will know not to be so silly!
