Andy and Eoin,friends since childhood were sat in Andy's kitchen at the table drinking coffee.

"You know,it's incredible" said Andy,"That woman that had her cheating husband killed by a hitman,she would be so devastated at his betrayal that she would kill him?"

"Well,her heart was broke,they were married for 20 years" said Eoin.

Andy continued "Well,you know i've been messing around behind Janet's back for a while,things just aren't working out between us in bed,so i got me a fine college girl,think she would ever get someone to kill me?" Andy then chuckled at the thought.

Eoin finished his coffee then brought a gun from the waistline of his trousers,he pointed it at Andy.

"Whoa,Eoin,what you doing?" asked Andy,shocked.

Eoin just smiled at his friend of 18 years and said "Well,i guess Janet got inspired by that story of that woman and the hitman,sorry Andy"

Eoin pulled the trigger.

"There is always that story about the woman driving home and an ax murderer was hiding in the back seat" said Angela,"That freaks me".

Davey laughed "That is just a myth,you probably saw that in a film or something" he said,"A real murder was that poor lassie in Italy,and that american student got off with it,i still think she did it" he added.

Sean chuckled and said "Those stories are so boring compared to the murder story i can tell."

Angela and Davey sipped their beers and looked at Sean,"Go on then,scare us Master Sean" giggled Angela.

Sean stood up and began talking "Well,there is the story of the 3 friends that hung out in a house one night,listening to some Led Zep and drinking their beers,not knowing the beers were poisoned,2 of the beers anyway".

Angela and Davey looked stunned for a bit then laughed.
"Yeah,nice one Sean" laughed Davey,"We all know that ain't real".

"Oh,it's very real my friends" said Sean as he sat and drank his beer.

He got on his boat and set out far into the pond,Jameson Pond had a little history,20 years ago a girl named Rachel Woods drowned in the pond after being chased into it by drunken students,they say her ghost lives in the pond.

Malky ignored the ghost story from anyone that told him,he didn't believe in ghosts,all he knew was that Jameson Pond had some fine salmon and he loved fresh salmon and veg for his tea,so did his wife Vera.

He sat waiting for the fish to bite,hopefully he would catch a great big salmon,would be a tasty meal for him and Vera,he licked his lips at the thought of it.

Just then,his fishing line was being tugged,"Oh,here we go" said Malky,excitedly,"This sure is a big one,Vera will be pleased".

The tugging got more aggressive,Malky could barely hold onto his fishing rod,he used all his strength and then saw a pale girl's face under the water looking up at him,her hands pulling his line,Malky couldn't believe it,before he could do anything else,there was another big tug and Malky fell into the pond,he never got back to the surface and onto his boat.
