ECCENTRIC CHARACTERS

ABOUT TWELVE MILES FROM GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA,
THERE IS A RUNDOWN LOOKING HOUSE UP AN EMBANKMENT FROM
THE MAIN HIGHWAY. THE STORY TOLD IS THAT SOME TYPE OF
TRAGEDY (PERHAPS A TRAGIC DEATH) OCCURRED IN THE HOUSE.
THE OWNERS NOW WILL NOT LIVE IN THE HOUSE BUT LIVE IN A
WHITE CAR BESIDE THE HOUSE. I HAVE SEEN THE HOUSE AND
THE CAR. A COLLEGE STUDENT EXPLORING AROUND THE HOUSE
WAS SAID TO HAVE BEEN CHASED OFF BY SOMEONE WITH A GUN.
I HAVEN'T TALKED WITH ANYONE DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH THE
FAMILY, BUT THOSE WHO TELL THE STORY BELIEVE THAT THE
PEOPLE TRULY LIVE IN THE CAR.
