英语灵异故事-Cottage(鬼屋) 06

We checked out and hit the highway. About an hour into the drive my boyfriend pulled over, he then told me that he was sorry, but a lot of things had happened that he hadn't told me, because he was afraid that I would be scared to death. Apparently¹, he, like previous guests, had seen a mother, father and little girl ghost, who watched our every move from the many mirrors in the house. He said the mother ghost did not like me, and was often pacing in front of the mirrors with a hateful look on her face directed² at me. My boyfriend said that the first few minutes he walked into the cottage, he saw the father ghost's head floating outside of the window, watching us as we carried our bags in. They short-sheeted our bed both nights, my boyfriend said, and had taken some of his clothes.

我们结账离开，上了高速公路。走了大约一个小时后，我男朋友在路边停了车。然后，他告诉我之前发生的很多的他从来没有跟我说过的事，他对此感到很抱歉。之所以没告诉我的是因为他怕会吓坏我。显然，他也像之前的房客一样看到了一位鬼妈妈、一位鬼爸爸和一个鬼女儿。他们透过房子里的那些镜子监视着我们的一举一动。他说那个鬼妈妈很不喜欢我，她经常在镜子前走来走去，脸上带着怨毒的表情，恶狠狠地直盯着我。我男朋友说，刚迈进小屋的几分钟里，他就看到那个鬼爸爸的头浮在窗外，看着我们把行李搬进去。我男朋友还说这两晚他们都把我们的床单撤了，他的衣服也被拿走了几件。
