The Mystery of The Twins
In the spirit of Halloween, I’ll share a short story or legend. Many years ago we visited an old cemetery not far from my Grandmother’s house. As a young boy, I always wondered why two headstones had the same birthdate and the same death date. When I got old enough I asked my Grandmother. So she told me a story about the twins.
I remember the story very well. She said
Many years ago before I was born. There were some twins. Twin girls as a matter of fact. They were always getting into trouble. They were always stealing, and taking things from the community. So on one fateful day. They decided to take some chicken. Chickens were prized possessions in those days.
They cooked it.
Indulged, and enjoyed it.
Not realizing that this will be their last meal.
Me: What happened?
My Grandmother responded
Their chicken was poisoned. So they were born together and they died together.
Years later I went back to that old cemetery. I then realized that one of the headstones was overturned. Maybe someone made sure they will never steal again, in this life, or the next.
That’s one of my few scary stories. Stay tuned for another one. Talk to you later.
