  1. Once upon a time there was this man who was visiting his friend. When he went to the house there was only two rooms in the house. The room that the man was going to sleep in was haunted. I have a gun said the man said the man and I will sleep there. He went into bed and it was about 12 o clock when he woke. He saw hands at the foot of the bed. He got the gun and shot two toes off him-self. He started to roar and ball and his friend thought that the gost had him killed.
    When the friend heard what happened he laughted hearty.
