So my aunt just sent me this really cheesy Halloween story, and I was about to delete it, but then I thought it might be a good one to share with [the older] kids, maybe at the Enchanted Castle, or just in our schools. If there are concerns about the story having a bar in it, I'm sure it can be easily altered to say "a man was walking home from a friend's house..."

Sorry for the huge spaces and the length, I couldn't figure out how to delete them all in a short period of time... :-P

Here's the story, enjoy!:

> A man was walking home alone from a bar late one foggy night , when


>somewhere behind him he hears:


>


> BUMP...


>


> BUMP...

> BUMP...BUMP

> Walking faster, he looks back and through the fog he makes out the


>image of an upright casket banging its way down the middle of the street


>towards him.


>


> BUMP...


>


> BUMP...
