PAJAMA PARTY STORY
ONCE THERE WERE TWO GIRLS WHO DECIDED TO SPEND A WEEKEND AT A
COTTAGE WHICH BELONGED TO THE PARENTS OF ONE OF THE GIRLS. THIS
COTTAGE WAS NEAR AN INSANE ASYLUM. THE FIRST NIGHT THEY WERE
THERE, ONE OF THE GIRLS WENT TO BED EARLY, BUT THE OTHER DECIDED
TO STAY UP AND SIT IN THE ROCKING CHAIR.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, THE FIRST GIRL WOKE UP AND THOUGHT SHE
HEARD COUNTING: FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO, FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY-THREE.
SHE WAS TOO SLEEPY TO THINK MUCH OF IT, SO SHE FELL BACK TO SLEEP
AGAIN SHE WOKE TO HEAR: EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-SIX, EIGHT HUNDRED
NINETY-SEVEN. BUT AGAIN SHE FELL ASLEEP.
IN THE MORNING SHE WOKE UP AND THE COUNTING WAS STILL GOING ON.
SHE GOT OUT OF BED AND WENT IN THE OTHER ROOM TO FIND A MAN SITTING
IN THE ROCKING CHAIR, WITH THE OTHER GIRL'S HEAD IN HIS LAP. HE WAS
PULLING OUT HER HAIR AND COUNTING EACH STRAND. WHEN HE SAW THE FIRS
GIRL HE STARTED CHASING HER, CALLING HOW MANY HAIRS DO YOU HAVE ON
YOUR HEAD?

THE WEEPING WITCH
ABOUT 1950, THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO LIVED IN THE SIX MILE - JOHN R
AREA. SHE HAD LOST HER HUSBAND AND SONS IN WWII. SHE WOULD DRESS
COMPLETELY IN BLACK, HER FACE COVERED BY A HEAVY VEIL, AND KNEEL ON
HER FRONT PORCH, LEANING OVER THE RAILING, WAILING AND MOANING AND
WEEPING.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN SHE STARTED THIS, BUT ABOUT 1950 ALL THE TEEN-AGER
USED TO DRIVE SLOWLY DOWN HER BLOCK. THIS CAUSED SEVERAL MAJOR
JAMS. FINALLY THE POLICE HAD TO PROHIBIT OUTSIDE TRAFFIC UNTIL
THEY COULD PERSUADE HER TO DO HER MOURNING IN PRIVATE.
