Bob Hill and his wife Betty were vacationing in Europe.. as it happens near Transylvania. They were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted road. It was late and raining very hard, they could barely see the road in front of them. Suddenly the car skids out of control ! Bob attemps to control the car, but to no avail. The car swerves and smashes into a tree.
Moments later, Bob shakes his wife and sees she is unconscious. He picks her up and begins to carry her down the road, hoping to get medical attention. He see a light in a large, old house and knocks on the door.
A small, hunched back man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts out, "Hello, my name is Bob Hill, and this is my wife Betty. We've been in a terrible accident and she's been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"
"I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, " but we do not have a phone. My master is a doctor, come in and I will get him." Bob brings his wife in.
An older man comes down the stairs, "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am no medical doctor, I am a scientist. However I have basic medical training, I will see what I can do. Igor bring them down to the lab."
With that Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely... he places her on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion, and his own injuries. "Things are serious Igor, prepare a transfusion." All efforts fail, Bob and Betty are no more.
Wearily Igor's master climbs the stairs to his grand piano. For it is here that he always finds solace. He begins to play, and a hauting melody fills the house.
Igor is still in the lab tidying up, and he catches a movement out of the corner of his eye. He watches as Bob's arm rises marking the beat to the music! Betty and Bob both sit up straight .... he dashes up the stairs, bursts in and shouts to his master:
"MASTER, MASTER !... THE HILLS'S ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC !"
The head gardner at the White House was dismissed today, after 31 years of loyal service to scores of US Presidents and first ladies.
In an exclusive interview outside the backgate of the Presidential residence, the 64 year old proclaimed his innocence, and strongly condemned his firing. "It all happened so fast, I'm still in a daze."
"All I know is, I was getting ready to weed the rose bed outside the Oval office window, like I do every week. I called out to my assistants, "Has anyone seen the spade and the hoe?" And the next thing I knew, the Secret Service was hauling me off the property!"
This out of state traveler was on the side of the road, hitchhiking on a real dark rainy night in the middle of a thunderstorm.
Suddenly he saw a car moving slowly, approaching and appearing ghost-like in the rain. It slowly crept toward him and stopped.
Wanting a ride real bad, he jumped into the car and closed the door; only to find there was no one behind the wheel ! Again the car crept forward slowly and the guy was terrified. The guy saw that they were approaching a curve, and too scared to jump, he started to pray .
Just before the curve a shadowy figure appeared at the driver's window, a hand reaxched in and steered the car around the bend. Just as silently it disappeared, and was once again alone.
Finally he had all he could take, and nearly scared to death, he jumped out of the car, and ran into town.
Wet and in shock, he went into a bar and ordered two shots of whiskey. He told everyone about his supernatural experience.
About a half hour later, two guys walked into the bar and one says to the other, "Look Bob there's that idiot that rode in our car when we were pushin' it in the rain."
