A/N: I am so sorry for the long wait. Luckily I got rid of the writer's block for this chapter and was able to write it. I just want to say a huge thanks for everyone who has been patient enough with the one and a half month long wait. Thank you so much for the reviews and I love each and every one of them. Sometimes I re-read them to keep me going. So here is Chapter 11! Enjoy!

Chapter 11 Ghosts of the past

Danny and Kono couldn't believe at what they saw. They looked towards Steve and Chin and they had identical faces as theirs.

"How did this happen?" asked Danny, when he found his voice.

"I don't even know how to answer that question, Danno."

What each of them saw, was that objects were flying around the room and a secret passageway was open and it lead downwards. The four of them looked at each other wondering what they should do.

"Do you guys think we should go down there and see if we can find anything?" asked Kono.

"I don't know," said Chin, who was a little bit skeptical about going down there.

Steve looked at his friends knowing that they were scared of going down there first, so he grabbed a flashlight and shined the light down so they could see what was down there.

"So," Steve said, making the other three jump a foot in the air, "Who wants to go first?"

They all looked at each other and Danny started to look at Steve and the cousins started to do the same. Steve looked at them and gave them a look like 'you've got to be kidding me'. He sighed and with the flashlight in hand started down the stairs that led to the secret passageway. The stairs creaked every time he took a step. he kept going down until he reached the bottom of the stairs. He turned on the lights and looked at the room amazed at what he saw.

"Guys, I think you might want to see this with your own eyes."

The other three looked at each other, shrugged and went down the steps slowly. The reached the bottom and could not believe what they saw.

What they saw shocked them. There were piles of junk from 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. They all explored the history of the things they found. There were books, tapes, CD's, old fashioned games and old looking furniture. All four of them went separate ways to explore. There was an unspoken agreement to meet together to share what they found.

Kono went straight ahead while Chin went to the left and Danny went to the right and Steve went behind the stairs to explore over there.


The person who kept watch over them looked at them closely. This person thought that the four could solve the mystery of the house and set them free. The person is going to meet them soon and wants them all to be on the same side as them and solve the mystery together. The person grins knowing that they will be free of the curse of this house soon.


Kono looks around her area and she is in front of a couple of bookcases. She reaches for a book and finds out that they are journals. She opens them and starts to read them. The journals are from past recruits that have tried to solve the mystery in this house. Kono gets a wide-eyed look in her eyes and makes a note of it to tell the others. She looks up and notices some games from the past and some videotapes. She does a double take as she looks at the tapes and grabs a few to show the others. She also takes some of the journals to show the guys. Kono walks to the middle of the room and waits patiently for the guys to finish exploring.

Danny walked to the right touching stuff as he went deeper inside the room. He saw so many things that he was amazed. He went over to a corner and found some maps of the house and the grounds surrounding the house. What he saw made his jaw drop. The haunted house was huge. They barely covered a quarter of it. He knew Steve would want to see this and was going to the middle of the room when something caught his eye. He went over to a table and saw something poking out of a boxes that were on top of each other. He began to take each box down and when he did he noticed that the boxes were filled with porcelain dolls. Luckily the boxes were small enough so he could carry two of them along with the maps. He looked around and noticed Kono in a small clearing that they were all at and went toward her.

"Hey, Danny," Kono said, as Danny got near her, "let's wait for everybody else to get here so we can show our stuff only once."

Danny thought about it and agreed.

Steve went behind the stairs and looked around at everything he saw. His jaw dropped at how big this room was. It was filled with boxes. He went closer to the them and looked inside. What he found were clothes, photos and letters. He reached in and took some letters out. He looked through them and put them down and kept doing that with every box he came to. He picked up the things he wanted to share and went to find them. He found Danny and Kono in the middle of the room and it looked like they were waiting for Chin to arrive. He sat down and waited patiently for him.

Chin went his way and he came across to about ten bookshelves. Five of them were filled with books and the other five were filled with collections that people might collect. He walked over to the bookshelves to take a closer look. He took some books and a couple of the collections and went back to the group.

"Okay, so now that we have everybody here," Danny starts to say, "who wants to go first?"

"I guess I will since I got here first," Kono said, "Okay so what I found were diaries and journals. I brought some of them with me because I couldn't carry them all. I also read some of them and it looks like that this house has been here for a really long time, probably over a century. I also found some games and I also found some Video cassettes. So there must be a VCR in this house someplace. Some of the diaries said that this house had a mind of it's own and some of them said that sometimes they could hear voices of loved ones. It was creepy. Another diary said that people went missing and they were never found again."

Everybody took a turn to look at what Kono found. Suddenly they heard footsteps above them and the four of them all looked at each other and basically had a silent conversation on whether or not to go up there. It was three against one with Danny not wanting to go up there. So they all stood up quietly and went to the stairs. They still heard the footsteps when they were on the stairs, as they were silently going up them to see if they could catch whoever was up there. When Steve was almost to the top he put his fingers to his mouth and quietly shushed them. What Steve saw made him gasp in shock. The others came up behind him and gasped in shock as well.
