    Sense Of Foreboding

    Crossroads Spirit

    I'd like to relate this tale. It didn't happen to me, fortunately! The only reason I paid notoce to this tale is because the guy who related it is a thoroughly bluff, no-nonsense Northerner who wouldn't make stuff like this up. Andy, to give him his name, and his friends had been out on the...
