Haunted Haggerty House
"Do you really think this house is haunted?" asked
Kelly
"Are you kidding? Anyone can tell by looking at the
place! Malvina Krebs said she was out walking one
night and heard some strange noises. She said she
saw a misty white thing float straight out that tower
window and through the trees." Ben pointed to the
dark tower. "Wild, huh?"
"I don't believe it."
"That's what she said," insisted Ben.
"This place is giving me the creeps!"
"Shh! Look!"
