GHOST LEGEND

WE LIVED IN AN OLD, OLD HOUSE IN GEORGETOWN, TEXAS
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL AND A MAN HAD ONCE HUNG
HIMSELF IN THE ATTIC. THE BATHROOM TO OUR APARTMENT
HAD THE ENTRANCE TO THE ATTIC. THEY SAID HIS GHOST
STILL LIVED UP THERE, SO WHEN I WAS THERE BY MYSELF
I WAS ALWAYS TERRIFIED THINKING THAT GHOST WAS GOING
TO COME DOWN THROUGH THAT TRAP DOOR.
