Bella told her brother "issitw" Meaning she saw someone in the woods. "Show your self"! Bella's brother Jake yelled. No one answered. Jake was sick of it so he grabbed his bat from his bag. Bella saw the intimidation in Jake's eyes. She whispered " Please, dont". Jake grabbed Bella by her arm and ran toward the house, got inside, and locked the doors and windows. Jake told Ma but, she never believed in ghost or and sort of demon. Then she looked at me. I was shaking in fear, crying. She kneeled down in front of Bella and said "is it true, was their really a man standing look at you? ". Bella couldn't talk but, she nodded. Angela stood up in fear. She called dad and told him to "get home now, there is a man in our woods!". Dad got home in 20 minutes. He asked what did the man looked like.
