Halloween's all about spooky things, right? So let's tell scary stories.

Okay. So when I was a kid, I would go near the fence separating us from the wilderness and look out there. Never did I dare to go past that- I wasn't even supposed to be there- but one night, I heard something odd. There are these things called mockingjays in my world, right? I'll tell you all about them if you want. Anyway, the important thing to know is that mockingjays can replicate both bird whistles and human melodies.

I heard this haunting melody, and I could tell it was coming from a mockingjay. But I saw this woman in a white nightgown, walking around past the fence. I saw her meld into the trees and disappear. I saw her every night I went there, and she always did the same thing. Until one night, when I called out to her. She looked at me and screamed a blood-curdling scream.

I ran for it. And I never went back. [He makes a ghostly 'oooOOOooo' sound. Is he making it up? Or did it really happen? Who knows?]
