Afraid of the Dark?

And you thought there was no reason to be afraid of the dark. You convinced yourself the boogeyman wasn't real, that no monsters lurked under your bed or in your closet. You laughed at yourself for ever having considered the old abandoned house on the dead end street might actually be haunted. Witches don't ride broomsticks, zombies don't dig their way out of graves, and vampires aren't waiting for your blood donation.

And then your whole belief system fell apart and you found yourself in mortal terror.

At least that's how it worked out for the family in Massachusetts who found themselves unable to escape a corn maze. Hopelessly lost in the terrifying world of dried corn stalks, the family used their cell phone to call 911.

Whose to say how they got so hopelessly turned around?  Whose to say what evil was at work?

You just might want to get your feet off the floor as quickly as possible when you go to bed tonight.
