Take care,

P.S. This story was of particular personal note. As a native Pennsylvanian, there were references that I remember well. Tammany died in New Britain, which is one town over from where I grew up.
42: (Ooh, what a gruesome tale. :? I've always wanted a secret room, but maybe I won't have anybody living in it...)
PL ok!

70: (Welp, that one was sad too. :( )
4:15 Missed stumble and repeat that needs to be cut. "...happy hunting grounds.... and that he reached the happy hunting grounds alone."

Thanks,

Well, this story was... interesting, I guess... :? Can't understand why it was chosen for this collection, really. He seems to just be a regular guy trying to live his life while the town busybodies come up with all sorts of theories about him, and not even anything perfidious or uncanny at that. :hmm:

In any case, it is PL ok. :thumbs:

Perhaps he was considered a local legend? It’s true, there’s nothing uncanny or supernatural about him.

Oh, I enjoyed this one. That last line was hilarious! :lol:

PL ok!

EDIT: Uh, whoops. As soon as I typed and posted that, I realized the ending silence here is only about 3 seconds. We need more like 5. So just that little fix!

I know, the end was kind of abrupt and savage, I enjoyed it too :D here is the recording with 5 seconds instead of 3. Good luck with everything!
