  1. Story - The Haunted House

    Share Share Post
    In the village of Lacken Hill there's an old minister's house, and it is said to be haunted.
    One day some boys went in to see the place and one of them went astray through the rooms. He was going about for a long time, and he couldn't find the way out, so he began crying. He wasn't long crying, however, until the minister that was dead forty years before that, came, and showed him the way out.
