It was like any other night.   It was dark.  A man stood at an ATM, taking out money.   And in the bank,  the stuffed animals on one of the desks, came to life.  One of the stuffed animals had lots of teeth.

The story took place just a few weeks ago in Redwood City, in California, though how the story ended may or may not be how it really ended.   Hope you enjoy.

Years ago, there was a sound, that came out of an old graveyard there in the valley, a sound, that neither you nor I would ever think we’d hear coming out of an old graveyard.   But there the sound was, and then it wasn’t and then . . . 

This is an old ghost story, that has been told in the Central Valley of California, the San Joaquin Valley.
