. THE HOOK

It was dark when a teenager and his girlfriend stopped at a lonely and secluded Lover’s lane to spend some
time alone. The car radio was broadcasting warnings about an escaped criminal called “The Hook”, nicknamed
so because of the hook that replaced his right hand. Scared, both the boy and the girl leave the place in a rush
when the car begins shaking. When both reach a nearby coffee shop, the girl notices a blood-covered hook
hanging from the back seat window.

THE CANDY MAN

Daniel was a poor man who worked at the local candy factory. Since he was a talented artist too, the factory
owner hired him to paint his daughter Rose’s portrait. Daniel and Rose fell in love with each other which
invited the wrath of Rose’s father and the town dwellers, and they tortured and beat him till he died. Daniel is
long dead, but his tortured soul did not leave the world. Legend says that even today if you call out the name
“Candyman” five times, Daniel’s ghost will come to haunt you.

THE 13TH FLOOR

As the legend goes, there is a haunted home in the city of Pennsylvania. Many years ago, invitations were sent
out to people asking them to attend a Halloween party here, and Jack and Mary were amongst the invitees.
The home consisted of a maze of identical passages and staircases, all leading to the 13th floor. Most people
never made it to the 13th floor, scared by people dressed up as ghosts and ghouls. But Jack and Mary made it
to the 13th floor despite all this. But we do not know what they found out on this floor as they were never
seen after that fateful party.

SPEAKING
