Hey girls,

I thought since its a new beginning, and to celebrate the 40 degree celcius day we're having here in Australia, that we should celebrate by having a campout!!!!

*Carly sets up her tent and starts building a fire. I hope some people get here soon cause I'm hopeless and building fires...Oooh! Marshmallows!!!*

Ooooh, fiiire... AAACK! I set my marshmallow on fire! *begins frantically running around, waving marshmallow stick over head*

That was smart of me!!

Now, who wants to hear some ghost stories???

Marian

Oh me me! I love ghost stories!

Alicia

Oooh! Me!!!
*listens in closely*

Ohh, hahaha ...


Ok, I've got one.

*flicks on flashlight*

A woman is sitting at home, watching the news. She sees a story about a deranged bride who's running loose. The bride was left at the altar by her fiance, who in turn married her sister. The "bride" as she was called went on a killing spree, murdering them and 14 innocent bystanders. The police had been looking for her, but she had just dissappeared. The newscaster continued to say that although she was armed, very dangerous, and seemed to feel no remorse for her crimes, the police believed her to be in another state.

Chilled by this disturbing tale, the woman snaps off the TV. She stays there on the sofa, staring into space in shock. She hears a noise coming from overhead. At first, she thinks its just her mind playing tricks on her. However, she sees dust falling from her rafters, and scaping, as though boxes were being moved around.

Frantically, the woman calls for the police. However, the person on the other end merely responds to her frantic whisper of "I think the bride's in my attic! You gotta help me!" by saying that the bride is in another state, not to worry, and could she please hang up because she was tying up the phone lines. The woman obliges, but just a moment later she hears what sounds like a footstep overhead. Not just any footstep. A footstep made by a person in high heels. The clicking stride prompts her to call the cops again. "Please, please, I think that she's here!" "Ma'am, she CANT be. Now please, hang up!"

The woman has barely put the reciever down when her phone rings. She jumps, then answers it. On the other end is the police department.

"Ma'am, you need to get out of your house immediately. We just heard a double hangup."


Ba da bump!

Next!!

(oh, and for those who don't know what a double hangup is, an explanation. It's when there are 2 people listening to the phone on the same line. It means that even when 1 person hangs up, the other is still connected to teh other caller. So, both the woman and the bride (who was listening in from the attic) were listening to the same call. The woman hung up, but the bride was still connected to the police. Then, when the bride hung up, the 2 people were disconnected. So, the police would have heard 2 clicks, or a "double hangup". Every time I tell this story, I get someone who doesn't know waht that is, so I thought I'd explain)

Marian
