  2. The Coffin

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was out late at night in a corpse house. He did not see his comrade going. It was two o'clock in the morning. He was going home and he saw three men with a coffin. They told him to help them to carry it. He did as he was told. They carried the coffin until daylight. The coffin and the men disappeared.
