They both got used to it so much, that the dog would sometimes drool just to go for a walk. But one day the husband was sick. Therefore, the wife had to walk the dog. But while walking, the dog started to tug and pull. The wife decided to follow and so the dog led her to a house.

The Slumber Party

Once upon a time there lived three girls. The girl's names were Sam, Kerry, and Rose. One night the girls had a slumber party in Sam's backyard. They slept in a tent next to Sam's pool. The girls laid out there sleeping bags and laid down. Sam left the tent and went inside her house to get something. She returned with three sodas and a big bowl of popcorn. Kerry then grabbed a book out of her backpack, and said, "I have a great scary story to tell you guys." "Okay, lets hear it," answered Rose and Sam. Right when Kerry was about to start her story, they heard a loud scream. Immediately, Rose and Kerry hid under their covers. The two girls noticed Sam didn't and asked why. Sam told them the scream was just some kids playing and that she hears it all the time. Kerry then started her story, "Once upon a time there lived three girls who slept in a tent in the middle of the forest. They were telling scary stories, when all of a sudden they heard tree branches break on the ground. Then a few minutes later, before they turned the lantern off, they saw a shadow of a figure. They started to get scared. A little later, when they fell asleep, they heard the tent zipper unzip. When the peeked out of their sleeping bags to look they saw a man with a knife in his hand. They screamed, but no one heard them," Kerry said in her spookey voice. "That was scary," said the two girls. "Well, lets go to bed it's 1:12 in the morning," said Rose. So the girls got comfortable in their sleeping bags and fell asleep. The girls woke up to a cold breeze. When they opened their eyes to see why, they saw a man with a knife standing over them. The girls screamed but no one came because everyone thought it was just some kids playing around outside.

There was a man in the city with his wife Tory, daughter Alice, daughter Emily, and son Jack. One night he is in bed, when he hears a whisper, "A body, a body that's the begining." He hears a scream, then a THUD. His wife is beside him, his two daughters are in their rooms, but all that's left of Jack is his arms, legs, and head.

The next night he hears, "Two legs, Two legs that's next." He hears a scream, then a THUD. His wife is beside him, Alice is in her room, but Emily is on the floor dead without her legs.

The next night he hears, "Two arms, two arms we're almost done." He hears a scream, then a THUD. His wife is beside him, but Alice is of the floor dead without her arms.

The next night he hears, "A head, a head we're getting close." His wife gets up to get a drink. He hears a scream, then a THUD. He runs into the kitchen and his wife is dead without her head.

The Beggar

Ryan, Stanley and Stephie were returning from a stroll at the park. "Oh, let's go home a different way," said Stanley. "What other way?" asked Stephie." "There's another street leading right to our avenue. Besides we could get there faster," said Stanley. "I dunno," said Ryan. "It's getting dark." "Oh, don't be a sissy Ryan, let's go," said Stephie. They turned into a dark street with almost no lights. Ryan heard a strange sound echoing faintly. "Listen," he said. They all stopped. Clinkity-clank. Clinkity-clank. Through the little light that illuminated the street, they saw a figure coming toward them. It had straw-like hair and was leaning on a stick. In its other hand, however, it held a small cup. Clinkity-clank, rattled the coins. The figure was wearing a witch's hat. The figure said, "A penny for the poor?" "I'm sorry we don't have any money," said Ryan. "No money,eh?" And then the figure lifted it's head. The head looked like a shrunken mask. It opened its mouth. "RUN!!!!!!," roared Stanley. And they ran. "NEVER COME BACK!!" howled the figure. "We sure won't," panted Stanley as they entered their house.

Urban Legend

Fire authorities in California found a corpse in a burnt-out section of a forest from the fire. He wore a full wetsuit including a face mask, flippers and an oxygen tank. Post-mortem revealed that the man did not die by burns but from massive injuries. They found that on the day of the fire, the scuba-diver was some twenty miles away from the forest while it was on fire. They sent out helicopters with large buckets to go out onto the ocean and dunk it with water and return and pour it on the fire. The diver was scooped up from the water and thrown into the fire. Apparently, he extinguished excactly 1.78m of the fire.

Hollywood Legend

A woman went to Las Vegas for the first time and won a lot of money. She decided to go back upstairs to her room, so she went inside the elevator. Just before the elevator closed, three African-American men walked inside. One of the men said, "Hit the floor, lady." She dropped to the floor and dropped all the money. They helped her up and helped her gather her winnings. The man meant for her to choose her floor. The men were still laughing as she exited.

About two days later, she recieved a bouquet of roses with a hundred dollar bill attached to each one, and there was a note. It read, 'Thanks for giving me the best laugh in years! - Eddie Murphy.'

There were two pages. The first page had a few questions that counted for a minor pecent of their grade, but on the back, there was one big question that counted for 90 percent of their grade. The question read: Which Tire?

The Video

Once, a looooong time ago, a video was made. It was about a cat that brought bad luck. It was banned, because strange things happened when people watched it. Weird things. Scary things. Sinister things. One day - before it was banned - a 10-year-old girl rented it. When she got home, she told her mom. "If you want," said her mom,"You can invite a friend to sleep-over and watch it." "Okay," said the girl, who's name was Sabrina. She called her friend Denise on the phone. "Do you want to sleep over?" asked Sabrina. "Sure!" said Denise. "I'll be over at 3:00." When Denise arrived, she put the movie in. They got set up and watched. The TV was just black. "Did you forget to turn the TV on?" said Denise. "No. See that light? When its on, that means the TV is on," said Sabrina. Then, the whole room turned dim. Outside, the sun set, but it was only 3:00 pm! "What's happening?!" said Denise. Then, a huge swirl of black started forming in the room. "AHHHHHH!" Sabrina screamed. "GOOD BYE DENISE!" yelled Sabrina.

"Whoa!" screamed Sabrina as she woke up from a nightmare. "It was all just a dream.....Huh? AHHHHHH!" There, in her bedroom, was the swirl of black. "NOOOOOO!" And it was the end of her.
