“There are two kitchens on our house and a couple of men used to come in to one of the kitchens and tell stories.”
There are two kitchens on our house and a couple of men used to come in to one of the kitchens and tell stories.
One night they were telling ghost stories and talking about the mystery man and when one of the men was going home on his bike, he saw a tall man walking along beside him and still as he went along he thought he was growing taller with the fright, and as fast as he could go he went but the tall man kept up to him so when he reached home, he threw his bike again the wall, and ran in and slapped the door and he had to sit down for some time before he could go to bed so that finished the ghost stories
