| [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 [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. [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. [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 into the cellar long ago, [01:37.12]leaving only a yawning opening 10 feet [01:39.86]above a tangled 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. [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 point now. [02:36.99]That house was demolished only one year later, [02:41.01]and a nice shiny new modern split-level [02:43.98]was erected in its place. [02:47.08]I wonder if the owners of that house [02:49.34]have any late night visitors...
