How Did Dan Frank Ross Disappear

Superior Essays
There is a monster that roams the bridge by the church,and everyone knows about it. But Mr.Ross was the first to disappear.
Dan Frank Ross had bright green eyes, had honey brown hair, and looked to be in his 20s . He was also 6’00” and was a muscular man. Mr.Ross normally wore any clothes that were clean, but he always wore a fedora hat to match his outfit. Normally he liked about any food or drink, depending on his mood. Mr.Ross also loved the colors black,blue, and green. Dan Ross had a lovely wife named Sophia Ross, who had chestnut colored hair, vivid blue eyes, and loved the color purple.
Before it happened Dan Frank Ross had gone into town on a misty day. Now he had to cross over a bridge that was haunted in order to get to town and back. Now no one had seen the ghost, but Mr.Ross didn’t want to take any chances. “I just won’t cross the bridge after dark. I’ll just leave before the sun starts to set, or stay in a hotel,” he thought. Although when he got to town he realized a lot of things needed to get done. Dan forgot that Fall celebration was happening Halloween night. The first thing he did was check in with a hotel or inn. “Hello,” he said to the innkeeper, “ may I get a room for the night.” “Sorry, we're full at the moment. Since the celebrations coming up everyone is trying to get a room.” replied the innkeeper. Mr.Ross checked everywhere, and everywhere was full. “ Great,” he thought, “everywhere if full!” By the time Mr.Ross was done the sun was already setting, so Dan started off. As soon as Mr.Ross reached the bridge stars were already twinkling in the sky. “I’ll just run across the bridge and hope I make it.” thought Mr.Ross, and that’s exactly what he did. Although he wasn’t as young as he used to be, and only got halfway across before he got tired and slowed

May I please have a ride on your horse, or a lantern?” yelled Mr.Rose. Although the man leading the horse heard, but did not stop. As the house drew nearer Mr.Ross almost screamed, the man seemed to be missing a head. Mr.Ross seemed frozen with fear, but quickly came back to his senses as the galloping grew louder. He quickly turned and started to run. He ran screaming and yelling, but the noise seemed to go no further than the bridge as if a spell was cast over the place.
“I’m sorry!” he screamed, “I’m sorry I should have believed the legend! I don’t want to die! Please have mercy!” Although since Mr.Ross had been screaming he never heard the galloping had stopped. He turned around and saw the headless horseman had vanished. Then he heard something behind him, and he turned and the last thing he saw was a pumpkin as black as a night with no stars or moon. Then the headless horseman looked down, but the body did not stir.
Weeks later his wife Sophia came looking for him since he had not returned, hoping he was okay. As she crossed the bridge to town she saw her husband's hat sitting off to the side along with a few pumpkin shards as black as a shadow. Then slowly she finished walking to town, and ran into the police

    The coronation dinner that night changed many things. That night everyone felt uneasy especially with the way the place appeared with such dark and comfortless colors around the palace. It was so utterly quiet that you could hear a pin drop and it brought chills to even the most powerful of people. Suspicions of various people were proven to be correct including the suspicions of Ross and Lennox. The dinner started fairly normal with the delightful smell of roasted beef roaming every hallway in the palace overpowering the stench of the uncleaned floors and unchanged drapes.…

This valley being called the Sleepy Hallows and the boys of this valley being called the sleepy hallow boys. The valley has witchcraft within it as previous events by an Indian chief. The witchcraft in valley influences the people as the text states “the place still continues under the sway of some witching power, that holds a spell over the minds of the good people, causing them to walk in a continual reverie.”…

    A bolt of lightning tore across the thick blanket of fog above in the sky, followed by a peal of thunder, as croaky, raspy and high-pitched hissings were heard from a distance, clatters that sounded like the cold wind howling through the cracks in a wall. Macbeth, who walked through the frigid ground, was remarkably attentive, thereby being able to pick up the mysterious sounds. Nevertheless, it seemed as his hearing was not able to pick up directly from where the sounds were coming from. Suddenly, more wheezing and grainy clatters were made out by Macbeth, but as if he had approached these sounds, as if he was getting closer to where they might be coming from. As he followed the pathway that he believed was the right one, he would observe…

    There once lived a prosaic man named Wilbur; he was a very dull and plain man. Although it seems like an exaggeration, it would not be a hyperbole to state that Wilbur could possibly be the most boring man on earth. Allow me to elucidate and go further into detail, Wilbur's life consists of the same routine everyday; Wilbur sits at home and reads the newspaper, followed by lunch, and then the afternoon news. The only semi-interesting thing about Wilbur is that he likes his subs cut into thirds instead of halves. One might begin to wonder why I have superfluous and abundant amounts of knowledge regarding Mr. Wilbur; I serve as an at home caretaker for the elderly.…
