[00:26.24]Great Grandma's Strange Story
[00:34.76]曾祖母的奇怪故事
[00:56.50]Unfortunately, for the longest time
[00:59.21]my great-great grandma would find dead animals,
[01:02.38]like rabbits and squirrels,
[01:04.39]on the step to the back door,
[01:06.15]and strange hoof prints
[01:07.97]were found circling the house,
[01:10.43]but it always seemed that
[01:11.78]there would be more prints
[01:13.16]below my great grandma's bedroom window,
[01:16.15]like something had been pacing just outside it.
[01:21.06]And on more than one occasion
[01:23.09]great grandma swore
[01:24.95]she could see those gleaming eyes outside
[01:27.87]when she was trying to get to sleep.
[01:31.96]The horses would cause a racket during the night,
[01:35.40]and when investigated
[01:37.65]they would be found dripping in sweat,
[01:40.37]tossing their heads and rolling their eyes wildly,
[01:45.11]and one of the weirdest things
[01:46.93]was that the livestock would have bite marks
[01:49.36]on their ankles and tails, oddly enough.
[01:54.26]Now this could have been foxes or coyotes,
[01:59.09]but my great-great grandma knew better.
[02:02.07]The work of the devil, she'd say.
[02:05.62]If she was right, well,
[02:07.51]that's a scary thought isn't it?
[02:10.54]The odd occurrences stopped
[02:12.73]and as the hoof prints faded,
[02:14.80]and the bite marks on the cattle healed,
[02:17.63]my great grandma got over fright almost entirely.
[02:23.12]Although she still gets a little uneasy
[02:26.07]when the clouds pass over the moon,
[02:28.28]leaving the night in total darkness.
