Today I inadvertently went past my elementary school. I saw something that I hadn't seen in years, something that I had pretty much completely forgotten about. Something that used to strike fear and terror into my heart. The haunted house of Vandever.
Everyone who attended Vandever Elementary knew about the haunted house. We ran faster past that house when we had to run laps. We kept our eyes away from it when we looked around the school yard.
In my memory, the man who lived in this house had one leg, 7 fingers, and no teeth. He ate kittens for lunch. And he was married to a ghost. Who slashed elementary school kids. Now that I look at it, I realize that it's really not that scary. But it sure was when I was 9.
dude, its just as terrifying as ever.
