Once upon a time, there was a priest named Mayor Goodway. She decided to go to a haunted house that for a decade had been haunted. People within the decade tried to stay but this haunt always scared them off. Mayor Goodway took her Bible and went to the house. She made a fire and sat down. She began to read her Bible.
It was almost midnight when suddenly, Mayor Goodway could hear noises in the cellar. It sounded like footsteps pacing back and forth. Then she heard someone as they tried to scream but was cut off by choking. Then she heard a struggle and then that was that. As she began to read again, she heard more footsteps coming up the cellar steps!
"Step! Step! Step! Step! Step!" went the footsteps.
Suddenly, the door to the cellar started to open. Mayor Goodway stood up.
"What do you want?!" she shouted.
The door closed and the footsteps went back down. She went to tending the fire. Not so long after that, the footsteps began again.
"Step! Step! Step! Step! Step!" went the footsteps once more.
The door opened again and what appeared to be a young woman was standing there.
"Who are you? What do you want?" asked Mayor Goodway.
The haunt looked like she didn't know what to do and she just faded away. Mayor Goodway turned her chair to look at the door and sat there waiting. After a long time, the footsteps started up again.
"Step! Step! Step! Step! Step!" went the footsteps once again.
Mayor Goodway stood up and held her Bible. When the door opened, she tried to be brave.
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, who are you and what do you want?" asked Mayor Goodway.
The haunt flew over to her and took hold of her coat. She looked to be about 20 years old. Her hair was very messy and parts of her face made her look like a skeleton and Mayor Goodway could see her teeth. Her eyes and nose were missing for some reason and in the place of her eyes, there was an eerie blue glow there. She began to talk and her voice sounded like it was fading in and out.
"About 10 years ago, the person who I believed that loved me left me heartbroken because he robbed me of my money and I soon died." explained the haunt.
"Can I help you at all?" asked Mayor Goodway.
"If you could dig up my bones and give me a proper burial, I can rest in peace. Also, take the end joint of my finger and at the next church meeting, put it in the collection plate. That night, come back here and I'll tell you where the money is and you can donate it to the church." said the haunt.
She then cried and sank under the ground. Mayor Goodway found her bones and buried them properly.
On Sunday, she put the bone on the plate. A certain man grabbed it and the bone got stuck on his hand. He started screaming and trying to take it off and then he accidentally confessed that he robbed her. He was arrested and got life in prison. That night, Mayor Goodway returned to the house and heard the haunt tell her where the money was. She found the money and donated it to the church. The haunt finally could rest in peace.
