On the way home that night Bird decided to take a short cut to my Uncle’s house.  This short cut was a dirt road that was more of a cow track than a road.  There was only one house on the road and it had been abandoned years earlier.  As we drove down the rutted dirt road we came to a small stream which Bird drove into.  Usually this little stream would only be about two inches deep but due to recent heavy rain the tiny stream was now about two feet deep with soft mud at the bottom. When Bird drove into the water the car bottomed out.  The car would not go forward or backward. 

After much discussion it was decided that Danny and I would walk back to the paved road and call Bird’s Dad who owned a truck. Bird was positive his Dad would be able to use his truck to pull the car out of the mud. 

Even though the paved road was only about a quarter mile from the car Danny and I were not happy about the walk.  Thankfully there was enough moonlight for us to see where the road was ahead of us. As we walked we noticed a light on the left side of the road. When we got closer we could see the light came from the abandoned house.  Danny got excited and thought someone had moved into the house. He ran to the front door and knocked expecting someone to answer the door.  The light instantly went out and silence followed.  I told Danny I would walk around the house to see if maybe there was a car parked out back.  Just as I turned to walk around the house Danny screamed.
