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.
