Ooooo. A haunted thread! Lets make sure we don’t stick together but each wander off on our own. Don’t forget to enter where you hear the spooky noises, especially if it’s the cellar or the attic or the post where someone was horribly murdered by being barbequed alive. Of course, you must dismiss all warnings that the place is haunted as silly superstition. And, for heaven’s sake, don’t use any common sense and just leave the thread when people start talking backwards and beer starts oozing out of the walls. rivulus ---

Cool, so anyway I went down to the mall and went to that new store, what’s it called? Oh **CANDYMAN** Anyway I was talking to the **CANDYMAN** trying to get him to hook me up with some lick-m-aid. Anyway I say “Hey **CANDYMAN**!” and he says “What?” and I say back “What does the **CANDYMAN** recommend, because you cant just rush into things like that.” So he hints at some chocolates and nouget bars but I wanted something all suger, like pixie sticks but funner. So I say “No no no man, I want something pure sugar, give me something like that **CANDYMAN**.” _klump_ “I wonder what that is? Must be the pizza guy, but how did he get upstairs? Well I guess I’ll go check it out, you all wait here, I’ll be back shortly” ---

Pink Kitten? Pink Kitten? AlbertRose? Dammit, I bet they got lost. Better go look for 'em. Jeez, and the lights are out, too. Does anyone have a flashlight? Penlight’s fine, thanks. I’ll be right back. ---

\ How odd…the power’s out, nobody’s around, and my flashlight isn’t working. Also, there appear to be claw marks and bloodstains on the wall. Well, I’ll just light up this strange black candle I found and go looking for everybody. I’ll start with the cellar–I think maybe I heard voices down there… ---

Kricket and Weird Al sought out a bedroom in the cellar? A flooded cellar at that, judging by Tygr’s last remark. Y’know, I’ve always wondered why people don’t just _leave_ when things like this start to happen. \ Ah. That would be because it just makes things worse. Right then, off to the cellar I go… ---
