Question

a short story which starts with"i do not believe in ghosts................."

I’ve walked around my house to check it out a couple of times after hearing things, and found nothing. All of my doors and windows were locked, I saw no rodents, but even as i checked around I would still hear creaking and swishing sounds. This house truly terrified me.
Tonight I fell asleep on my couch in my living room watching T.V. I awakenee after having a nightmare. My T.V. was off now and I could hear the creaking and swishing sounds louder than ever. I jumped to my feet and looked all around the room. It was pitch black but i didn’t see anything and it seemed as though the sounds were coming from right next to me. A cold shiver ran down my spine. “I don’t believe in ghosts,” I said to myself out loud. “I don’t believe in ghosts…”
Right behind my left ear in a shrill whisper i heard, “Neither do I…..”
