The Sallie House – level 1
18-09-2024 15:00
In the 1870s, a doctor lives in a small house in Kansas, US. He works in his house, too. One night, a woman comes to him. She has her sick daughter. The little girl dies during a surgery. Since that time, strange things happen in the house.
The little girl’s name is Sally. Some people believe that Sally’s spirit is still in the house.
In 1993, a young couple moves in the house. Very bad things happen. Things move around the house. At night, people hear someone walking in the house. They are scared. They call an investigator.
The man has a special device. He says that he can talk to Sally. He says that paranormal things happen. Paranormal means nobody can explain something. Nobody understands how and why they happen.
Difficult words: surgery (when a doctor opens somebody’s body and he repairs it), spirit (the part of a person that is alive when the person’s body dies), investigator (a person who finds out the truth about something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What does the investigator claim he can do with his special device in relation to Sally's spirit?
