The Strangest Experience I Have Ever Had While Sleeping
I was housekeeping a mansion in Ormskirk. I don't think I'll ever walk through those woods again.

my own dad tried to sell me lol
He told me he had planned to kill me, and the only reason I survived was because I reminded him of his dead mother
