SUPERSTITION

STORY OCCURRED IN DRAYTON PLAINS MICHIGAN IN 1901. THERE WAS AN
OLD INN WHICH HAD BEEN EMPTY FOR YEARS AND SAID THE REASON WAS THAT
THE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT IT WAS HAUNTED. THE COMMUNITY
HISTORY HAS IT THAT A YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE ON THEIR HONEYMOON USED
IT AND A WEEK LATER THEY WERE DISCOVERED IN BED WITH THEIR THROATS
CUT.

Submitter comment: MR. LAWRENCE LEARNED IT IN 1901 BECAUSE HE LIVED ACROSS THE
STREET FROM THE INN.
