Scary story for Halloween: Girl Says Bones Belong To Ghost
A Russell County [Georgia] fifth-grader is convinced bones found in her home last weekend belong to a mysterious friend who told her about being chopped up years ago.Stephanie said a black girl in a white dress started visiting her room when she was about 5 years old. The girl was friendly, but she told Stephanie a horrible story.
"She told me that somebody put her in the floor," Stephanie said. "She said he had a mask on, and that he chopped her up. She didn't know who the person was, because he had a mask on."
Great line from a Sheriff's Lt. on the case:
"Do you have any idea how hard it is to investigate a ghost?" he said Monday.
Read the whole thing; there's a lot more atmosphere and some great quotes from the kid's great-grandmother.
