The old man and the old woman were a mysterious couple who lived down the dirt lane. They kept to themselves, though I recall my dad once stopping by to give them some eggs.

Their house, eerily abandoned with furnishings and food still in place, soon fell into disrepair. It became the stuff of neighborhood legends, whispered to be haunted. Drawn by the chilling mystery, we would sneak in at midnight, exploring the dark, creepy cellar, our imaginations going wild.
