GHOST STORIES.
MY MAMA WAS REAL SICK, AND SHE WAS LYING IN BED, AND THE DOCTOR
THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO DIE. WELL, SHE SAW HER SISTER WHO
HAD DIED A FEW YEARS BEFORE, STANDING BY HER BED. THE FIGURE
LOOKED AT HER, AND SAID IN A STRANGE VOICE, " NO, NOT YET. " AND
A FEW DAYS LATER SHE WAS WELL AGAIN AND LIVED FOR MANY YEARS AFTER.
