He turns off the tv and makes it completely quiet .The knocking became a soft voice saying" I am in the basement" Luke runs down to the basement to find nothing or no one. He replies" Mom where are you " The basement doesn't have a bright light so Luke uses the phone light which is bright and He searched and searched until He found a handle under the shelves it lead to a secret room.

The voice said "I am right here" The lights turn off and you hear a big thud Luke drops to His knees and the light shines down on His Mother hanging behind the curtain.

"Luke Sears wake up you're late for school " He notices the voice is His mom and the dream layed heavy on Luke. He ran down the stairs and gave His mom a hug "I had a nightmare mom you died and the house was haunted and u were talking to me in morse code and saying nonsense about Grandma . She stops hugging Luke and Whispers" You let Grandma get you".
