Hello, Mr. Sideburns! I found your story on the sidebar to Read a Newbie. I will give you my honest opinion and hope you find this feedback useful.
Overall Impression: A creepy story in time for Halloween.
Plot: Young couple buys a house with a rumored history that it was haunted.
Style and Voice: First person, narrative. It read similar to an entry in a journal. Some of Edgar Allen Poe's work gave me a similar feeling.
Scene/Setting: Moving day, busy putting household together. The woman sees glowing eyes in the distance as she looks out the kitchen window at night. Later in bed she sees a shadowy hand pulling the closet door open. (Question: If entity is in the closet, how is it pulling the door open? Does the door open into the closet? That seems a little awkward. My closet doors open outward into room.)
Characters: Un-named couple.
Dialogue: None.
Grammar and Mechanics: I found minor syntax and grammar anomalies (misused pronouns). You had a beginning, middle and ending - creepy ending.
Suggestions: Give your characters names, a little dialogue between them about what is occurring let's them show and tell the story. Otherwise, let it rest a day or so then read it aloud to catch the anomalies.
