THE STORY OF LAURA'S GHOST

ONE NIGHT AFTER DOIING REPAIRS ON THE HOUSE
BRIAN FELL ASLEEP ON THE COUCH.
AT ABOUT 2:00 IN THE MORNING HE WAS AWAKENED BY STRANGE
NOISES COMING FROM THE HEATING VENT.
HE WENT INTO THE BASEMENT TO CHECK THE FURNACE.
WHEN HE GOT THERE, THE NOISES HAD STOPPED.
WHILE HE WAS THERE, HE FOUND A PICTURE OF A WOMAN
IN A CASKET WITH THE NAME LAURA WRITTEN ON THE BACK.
TO THIS DAY ANY STRANGE OCCURRENCES AT THE HOUSE
ARE BLAMED ON THE GHOST OF LAURA.
