HAUNTED HOUSE

THERE'S A HOUSE BETWEEN MONROE (MICHIGAN) AND TOLEDO (OHIO)
WHERE A MAN KILLED HIS WIFE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. HE TURNED
OUT ALL THE LIGHTS AND KILLED HER WITH A HATCHET AND,
FROM THEN ON, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANOTHER LIGHT ON
THERE, NOR HAS THE MAN BEEN SEEN AGAIN.
ONE NIGHT SOME GIRLS WERE DRIVING FROM TOLEDO AND WERE
BEING FOLLOWED. SO THEY PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND TURNED
THEIR HEADLIGHTS OFF. THEY SAT THERE A WHILE AND THEN
THEY REALIZED THAT ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF IN THE HOUSE
AND THAT IT WAS THE HAUNTED HOUSE OF THE STORY.
