I was 8 years old when the railroad station, in front of my house shut down. Then less and less people stopped comming to the Vernon Stop in, the store my Paw owned. I never knew why the Station closed, all I can remember is that Police was everywhere. They even made Paw close down for two days. Mama even was told to take us in the basment, she did but she didnt tell us why. Paw said police needed us to.

One night I was about 17, I was coming home from the store, I decided to go look in the window at the station. Nothing looked weird, but some crazed darkness lay over it like something happened there. Then I walked up the hill, I turned to take the moment to remember this day and there in the window a Lady with a large red hat and a wedding gown stood, hands pressed against the window. I ran to let her out. when I reach for the handle I fell to my knees. No longer able to breath, like something was holding thier hand over my mouth, I opened my eyes and saw a man hovering over my using his fingers to tell my to stop breathing.

I did stop, but I was so afraid. I just knew i was dying. He then let go, and disapeared.I got up when to look inside to see them again but I saw nothing. I walked up the hill, in to the house. I told Paw i knew something happened but I didnt know what. I told him I needed to know.He ask my what happened, and I told him in exchange of the answers. Jon Carver on the Janitors killed a man and his wife the day when all the police was there. I didnt know what to think. All I could was I saw them and felt what they felt.
