[00:30.03]The House in the Field
[00:32.98]荒野小屋
[00:43.32]She told this to her circle of friends,
[00:46.27]and some of us decided 1
[00:47.67]to check the place out the following day
[00:50.56](which was, fortunately, a Saturday).
[00:53.92]So, we met in the field at noon
[00:56.89]and tromped off to explore.
[00:59.55]What we found there
[01:00.77]was the typical old falling-apart farmhouse 2.
[01:04.81]Empty rooms (except for the equipment and such),
[01:09.26]creaky floorboards,
[01:11.08]and piles of wet shattered plaster,
[01:14.39]beer bottles, graffiti, and cigarette butts 3.
[01:18.93]Then we rounded the corner
[01:20.80]from the old living room to go upstairs,
[01:24.35]and each of us stopped dead in our tracks....
[01:28.77]There were no stairs.
[01:32.00]Apparently,
[01:33.10]the stairwell had collapsed 4 into the cellar long ago,
[01:37.12]leaving only a yawning opening 10 feet
[01:39.86]above a tangled 5 pile of old timbers
[01:42.66]on the cellar floor below.
[01:45.81]And yet, Candy had sworn she had seen someone
[01:49.11]walk by an upstairs window.
[01:52.29]We explored the house more completely,
[01:55.14]now being very careful
[01:57.17]since we knew just how bad off the place really was.
[02:02.78]We didn't find any second staircase,
[02:05.44]and there was no way to reach the second floor.
[02:09.66]Its a mystery that has remained unsolved,
[02:13.46]as in the middle of our exploration
[02:16.23]we heard the truck door slam outside,
[02:19.27]and we all beat a hasty retreat out the back
[02:22.44]so we wouldn't get caught trespassing 6.
[02:26.00]I don't know if it was a ghost she saw,
[02:29.45]or if it were someone
[02:31.40]who could climb like an orangutan,
[02:33.91]but it's all a moot 7 point now.
[02:36.99]That house was demolished 8 only one year later,
[02:41.01]and a nice shiny new modern split-level
[02:43.98]was erected 9 in its place.
[02:47.08]I wonder if the owners of that house
[02:49.34]have any late night visitors...
