The house on the corner of Gurley Street and Grand Avenue sat abandoned for more than ten years. The kids in the neighborhood believed that it was haunted.
“My big brother told me that one night he was out riding his bike by that empty house and he saw someone looking out of the windows!” Doraze said. “When he looked again, there was no one there.”
“Well, my sister and some of her friends snuck inside the house one day. She said they found a bunch of empty cans and food wrappers, like someone had been living there.”
“What’s so suspicious about that, Todd?”
“No one ever comes in or out of that house, Charlyssa! Who took the food in? Better yet, who came out to get some?”
The kids were so busy arguing that they almost missed the battered old truck that pulled up to the house on Gurley and Grand.
