  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was a woman going home along the road one night and she heard the low screeching and she was afraid. As she went on farther the screeching began to get louder and when she came to one certain place the screeches were louder than ever.
    When she reached home she could hear the screeches still but they were not very loud. The next day, somebody from the place where she heard the screeching very loud, died.
