I do a lot of stuff in the paranormal field. That story has a very interesting perspective.
It's not *completely* untrue, either. As a grown-up adult who's seen some scary shit over time I am no longer completely terrified of it, but back when I was a child I hated it when I had to go there. I'd be in and out as quickly as I could. Nowadays I still find myself going as fast as I can if I'm in that part of town and I hate it when I'm there after dark. Gives me the creeps.
