such nonsense but then he too started
3:13
experiencing strange occurrences victor
3:16
enjoyed spicy foods one evening as
3:19
Victor was about to eat his dinner he
3:22
remembered that there was a pepper tree
3:24
growing in Mr major's yard he went in
3:27
the yard picked a few peppers and
3:29
returned to add a few pieces of pepper
3:31
to his food just as he was about to
3:33
break the first pepper suddenly loud
3:36
noises erupted from Mr major's house
3:39
sounds as though someone was beating
3:41
pots and pans against the walls of the
3:44
house victor tossed the peppers over the
3:46
fence back into his yard and shouted
3:48
"Here take back your peppers i don't
3:50
want them." The noise immediately
3:53
stopped 2 days later Victor was walking
3:56
past Mr major's house the door was
3:59
opened the boy turned and looked into
4:01
the house and there he saw Mr major
4:04
inside the house sitting in a chair the
4:07
boy was shocked he asked himself "How
4:09
could this be how could he be sitting in
4:12
the house when he is supposed to be dead
4:14
and in the grave?" The boy ran to his
4:16
mother who was also becoming afraid of
4:19
Mr major's ghost mrs jamar took a deep
4:22
breath
4:24
i know it's hard to understand but
4:26
sometimes our minds play tricks on us
4:29
you're just missing Mr major that's all
4:32
that night the neighborhood was
4:34
unusually quiet the air thick with
4:37
tension as the clock chimed
4:40
midnight the stillness was shattered by
4:43
the clanking of pots and pans from Mr
4:45
major's kitchen victor lay in bed unable
4:48
to shake the image of the ghostly figure
4:50
he'd seen he clutched his pillow tightly
4:53
the next day the Jamar family gathered
4:56
around the dinner table trying to ignore
4:58
the whispers that had spread through the
4:59
community mrs jamar spoke up her voice
5:02
firm we're not going to let fear control
5:05
us we're going to live our lives as
5:08
usual but that same day a neighbor Mrs
5:11

Nancy i remember one evening as Victor
6:01
was helping his mother clean up after
6:02
dinner he noticed a plate of uneaten
6:05
food he suggested that they leave it out
6:07
for Mr major's ghost hoping to appease
6:10
the restless spirit mrs jamar hesitated
6:13
but ultimately agreed her eyes reflected
6:17
a mix of sadness and fear the following
6:20
morning the plate was gone and the
6:22
kitchen was spotless it was as if Mr
6:25
major had never left yet the quietness
6:28
outside remained unsettling last night I
