suddenly I saw a faint light coming from a cottage at a distance. Out of curiosity I headed towards the cottage. After about a minute I was standing in front of a locked door.

My knock was responded by a voice from inside. After a moment the door was opened and I was facing a woman with blue eyes.

"Did you hear the shriek too ?" she didn't even look at me and began to go towards the kitchen.

I was confused and frightened because she seemed to be a strange old woman.Anyway , I followed her inside.

She motioned me to a sofa and I obeyed her silent command.

I was curious to find who else lived in the cottage when suddenly my eyes fell on a photo on the wall. It was the photo of the man in a black coat. The same man who had visited me a few minutes before.

I said loudly," Whose photo is this? Is he your son?"

"Yes, he was my son. He was a priest. He passed away ten years ago............"

 I got up quickly and ran towards the door. I didn't want to listen to what the woman had to say. I was running fast and even in the October chill I was sweating profusely.
