Do you know any scary stories?

It's Halloween and Alex is excited to be watching horror movies and telling ghost stories with his cousins. When it's Alex's turn to share, he tells the terrifying tale of Jack Hatchett, local hardware store owner and serial killer. Legend has it that he cut his victims up and hid the pieces so they would never be found. But before the police could prove anything, the hardware store burned to the ground, turning the suspected murderer and his secrets to ashes. Now, if you dial the number for Hatchett’s Hardware, his ghost is said to answer the phone. For Alex, Chloe and Luke, the temptation to call and see if the legend is true proves too hard to resist...
