OK people, here's the deal. One of us writes a tale that is strange, weird or spooky. Then at least 2 of us takes a guess whether it's made up, or based on true events. Whoever answers correctly gets to write the next story.
Rule 1: If the story is true, you change people's names.
Rule 2: Confirmation must be given before writing the next story.
So I'll start.
*****************************************************
On the afternoon of November 3, 2004, in the town of Methuen, Massachusetts, 10-year-old Natalia Graycen and 8-year-old Molly Reeves were playing in a pile of leaves left in the street outside their apartment building. Just before the accident, neighbors saw the girls laughing and shoveling leaves at each other with plastic trash-can lids. At about 5 p.m., Natalia's father drove his full-size 1997 GMC 1500 pickup over that pile of leaves as he rolled to his accustomed parking spot on the street. Jack Graycen never saw the two girls playing amidst the fallen autumn foliage, perhaps because they deliberately ducked out of sight in an effort to surprise him and Natalia's two siblings, who were in the truck with him.
The 36-year-old contractor had no idea anything was amiss until he got out of the truck. It was then he discovered the horribly injured girls, his own daughter and the daughter of the woman he lived with, both of whom had been crushed under his front and rear tires.
Natalia died a half-hour later at Holy Family Hospital of massive chest trauma. The last thing her father heard her say as she was loaded into the ambulance was "I can't breathe." Molly survived her injuries.
