Haunted Places and Scary Facts

#5

Fact - World's shortest horror story consists of only two sentences : "The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door."

Place - Olympia Books (205 S Front St., Dowagiac, Michigan)
Olympia Books is no longer in operation according to reports, but it is said to have a ghost named Mr. Bock. His name comes from lettering stenciled in the hallway that leads to the apartment upstairs. The ghost has been known to knock books off of shelves or place them in front of the door. He has also twice set a chair in front of the door, facing out toward the street. His footsteps and disembodied voices have been heard and lights come on and off by themselves inside Mr. Bock's apartment, say its current residents.
