MYSTERIOUS DEATH

JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY OF LARAMIE, IT HAD BEEN REPORTED THAT WITCHES
WERE HOLDING SABBATHS FREQUENTLY. ONE NIGHT A STUDENT FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AND HIS DATE WERE DRIVING IN THE AREA NEAR
WHERE THESE SABBATHS HAD TAKEN PLACE. ABOUT ONE-HALF MILE FROM
THE AREA, HE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE NEAREST GAS STATION WAS ONE MILE
AHEAD. HE TOLD HIS DATE TO STAY IN THE CAR AND LOCK THE DOORS
UNTIL HE GOT BACK. ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER, A CAR DROVE UP BEHIND
HER. THEY TOLD HER TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, BUT NOT TO LOOK UP.
SEEING THAT IT WAS THE POLICE, SHE DID SO. HER BOYFRIEND'S BODY
WAS HANGING FROM A TREE RIGHT ABOVE THE CAR.

Where learned: Wyoming ; LARAMIE
