Come on over!

I cant come over that height without at least a standing start
 
Is it dark yet? Let's tell spooky stories!

Years ago an old girlfriend told me this story. She was a photographer, and all around outdoorsy gal. She'd taken a long weekend to go camping alone well past the outskirts of Austin. This wasn't out of the ordinary for her in the least. She'd picked a spot miles from anything save this old, dilapidated, home that was the subject of every local freaky story.....serial killers had lived there, it was haunted, teenagers had been slain there years ago after a drunken orgy...basically every scary story and cautionary tale you grew up with. She was there to try and capture that mythology in her photographs of the place. She said the shoot went well, she recalled that the nights were a little restless, but then a blue norther can howl louder than wolves on an otherwise quiet Texas night. It wasn't until she'd returned to civilization that she discovered something chilling. In her darkroom as she developed the photographs, she discovered three extras that she'd not taken.....there were in fact of her, sleeping. One for each night she had been there.

The only way that would be worse would be if there was a spider on my face in the photos.
