It was a 25 night， with the wind howling and the thunder crashing but finally I 26 to get to sleep. What happened next was really 27 . There， at the end of the bed， stood a dark figure. I'm not exaggerating（夸张）—— 28 I could really see it. It was dark in the room， of course， but I saw the 29 of the figure clearly. I know not all ghosts are 30 ， but this one looked really terrifying. Then it spoke. At 31 ， it made some sounds； it was moaning（呻吟）， as if in 32 . You can imagine by this time I was trembling 33 . Hiding under the blankets， I was 34 from head to foot. What terrified me was the thought that the thing might 35 me. I knew if it did， I would 36 . It kept on making strange sounds which now sounded more like 37 or spells. Was it some kind of witch， sent to 38 its magic on me， I wondered. Then it 39 into the wall. How I fell asleep again is still a 40 to me. What do you make of it all？ You know I was never superstitious but now I'm not sure.
