I just bought 20 acres of nice land and we got it for very cheap. The old man wouldn't tell us why it was so cheap; he just shook his head and said, "Please don't ask". So we took it on upon ourselves to find out.
We went to the local library and looked through the old newspapers. And then we came across a story that made our skin crawl1. It Read:
"Local Teenagers found dead in woods of a 20 acre plot".
The paper was dated 1942. My girlfriend and I went on to read that apparently2 two girls were swimming in one of the large ponds there is on the land and one of the girls (we will call her Lauren) got caught up in the net that Jamie's father was using to drag the pond of any catfish3. Well Jamie tried to get Lauren untangled from the net but it was too late. Lauren had drowned. Heartbroken that her drunken father had not heard her screaming Jamie walked into the woods leaned against a tree and shot her in the head.

No one could understand why Jamie did this, but as investigations4 later proved, the two girls were lovers5.
We sat there in silence for a minute and then I started flipping6 through the pages again and I found another article, it read:
"Two more Local Teenagers Found dead in woods on 20 acre plot".
It seems that a teenage boy and his girlfriend were found dead in the woods. They had died of fright. No one knows what they saw except it scared the hell7 out of them. Then I later read that a second teenage couple had been found dead, they also had died of fright.
After reading that we drove out to the land and camped out close to the woods to see if we could see anything. About 2:00am we heard crying, shortly followed by a gunshot. My girlfriend and I jumped up and looked into the deep woods, all we heard was the loud crackling of the fire. Then out of the blue a figure of a girl stood on the edge of the woods. I felt the hair rise on the back of my neck, for we were only 15 feet away. Then a smile came across the girl's face as she turned and walked back into the woods.

As the nights passed we didn't see her, we even walked in the woods together at night.Then a month later on the 18th we saw her again. We heard crying then a gunshot and then we saw her at the edge of the woods. This happened every month on the 18th. Then one night we invited my cousin and his girlfriend to come witness it. It happened like it normally8 did except this time the girl's eyes turned red when she saw my cousin and his girlfriend. She stared towards them and they ran to his car and sped off. Then she turned to us. I stood my ground. Her eyes were now blue again as she pointed9 to our hand holding. Then she smiled and turned and walked back into the woods. But this time she stopped and pointed to the right of her where another figure of a girl appeared. They walked towards each other and hugged then they joined hands looked back at us, smiled and then vanished10.
I guess she had to come out of the woods in order to reunite with Lauren and only a boy and girl couple can drive her out.

I don't know but I haven't heard crying or a gun shot for at least a year. But I do still see them holding hands and walking along the edge of the woods by the ponds. But only on the 18th.
我以非常低的價錢買了一塊20英畝大的很好的土地。賣地的那個老人不愿告訴我們如此低價賣掉這塊地的原因，他只是搖搖頭，說：“請不要問我。”因此，我們打算自己來一探究竟。
我們到當?shù)氐膱D書館去查閱舊報紙，有一則故事讓我們毛骨悚然，故事的標題是：“一塊20英畝大的土地的樹林中發(fā)現(xiàn)兩位本地少年死尸。”
報紙是1942年的。我和女朋友接著往下讀，事情大概是這樣的：兩個女孩在本地的一個池塘里游泳，其中的一個女孩（我們且叫她勞蘭）被潔米（另一個女孩）父親放在池塘里用來捕鯰魚的網(wǎng)纏住，潔米想替勞蘭把網(wǎng)解開，但已經(jīng)來不及了，勞蘭已經(jīng)被溺死。而潔米的爸爸喝醉了，沒有聽到女兒的尖叫聲，心碎的潔米便上岸來到樹林里，她靠在一棵樹上，舉槍自盡了。
沒人知道潔米為什么這么做，但隨著調查的深入，證明這兩個女孩子是一對戀人。
我們沉默的坐在那兒，然后我又瀏覽了一下其他報紙，又發(fā)現(xiàn)了一篇文章，寫著：
“一塊20英畝大的土地的樹林中又發(fā)現(xiàn)兩位本地少年死尸?！?
一個男孩和他女朋友的尸體在樹叢里被人找到。他們的死因是驚嚇過度，沒人知道他們看見了什么，大家只知道他們嚇得把命都丟了。接著我又讀到一篇文章，又有一對少年情侶因為驚嚇過度而死亡。
讀完那些文章，我和女朋友便開車到了那塊地方，在樹林邊露營，想看看我們能不能見到什么東西。凌晨兩點左右，我們聽到一陣哭聲，緊接著是開槍的聲音。我倆跳起來，望向樹林深處，我們唯一能聽見的便是槍開火的聲音。接著，夜幕中一個女孩的身影出現(xiàn)在樹林邊，我們相距只有15英尺的距離，我覺得我脖子上的寒毛都豎起來了。然后那女孩笑了笑，轉身走進了樹林。
