The Ghost of Charles Nelson!

In a little town called Charlottetown there were two girls named Jillian and Angela who were best friends. In fact, the only thing they didn't have in common was that Jillian believed in ghosts and Angela did not.

One night Jillian had Angela and a few other friends over for the night. When all Jillian's friends arrived, they decided to watch a few horror movies. When the first movie was over they got into the discussion of who believed in ghosts. All the girls believed in ghosts except Angela.

"You don't even believe in the ghost of Charles Nelson!" gasped one girl.

"No, of course not," said Angela boldly.

All the girls started whispering. Then one girl said, "I dare you to go to the grave of Charles Nelson. Put this piece of paper by the grave and drive this pencil through the paper into the ground so it will be there in the morning. In the morning we will all go to the graveyard and see if the piece of paper is still there."

Angela agreed right away, and skipped out the front door. The girls raced for the window. They watched as Angela slowly disappeared into the darkness of the night. An hour passed and Angela had not returned, so the girls decided to go and see if they could find her.

When they got to the graveyard one of the girls spotted Angela. The girl ran straight for her. She accidently stepped on Angela's shoelace, causing Angela to jerk forward and her glasses to fall off. Angela, not being able to see, ran off screaming. She ran into a freshly dug pit for someone else who had died.

The next morning Angela was found dead at the bottom of the pit.

People say Angela died of fright.
