Look at the title of the story and the picture. What kind of story do you expect to read? What could it be about?
1 Three friends were chatting excitedly as they were driving down to the south coast of England for their camping holiday. It was getting dark, so Danny suggested that they find somewhere to stay for the night. Almost immediately, Mark spotted a small inn by the side of the road.
2 When they went in, they saw a young policeman talking in the lounge with some people. What was strange was that the people were wearing very old-fashioned clothes! Tom took a few photos and they stayed the night. The next morning, they paid the bill, which seemed extremely cheap, and then they left.
3 A week later, the friends decided to stay at the inn again on their way home. Unfortunately, though, they could not find it, so they stayed somewhere else. As soon as they got home. Tom got his photographs developed. While he was looking at the pictures of the inn, he saw only his friends and a small white creature behind them.
4 Tom felt very troubled, so he went back with Danny to find the inn. When they arrived where they thought it had been, all they could find were two ruined buildings. Puzzled, they asked a passer-by about the inn. 'Oh, there used to be an inn here,' the old man told the boys, 'but it closed about a hundred years ago. There was a police station right next to it.' Immediately, both boys remembered the policeman they had seen sitting in the inn. They both gasped in horror. They had spent the night with ghosts of the past!
