BELIEF

UP THE RIVER FROM OUT HOUSE IN MATTHEWS, VIRGINIA IS A DARK
SHADED CREEK WHICH WE WERE TOLD WAS HAUNTED. THERE WAS AN
OLD DESERTED HOUSE BY THGE CREEK AND WHEN OWLS MADE NOISES
AT NIGHT, WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS GHOSTS. WHENEVER WE WENT
BOAT RIDING IN THE EVENING, WE WOULD NEVER GO NEAR THAT CREEK.
