was a lady who lived 2 miles back on Seven Gables Road. She was involved

scream, The last person to jump over the fence would die. a few years later,
she forgot all about the curse, and she heard a baby scream, then she jumped
over the fence and 2 months later she was dead. 25 years after, a man, his
wife and his 2 kids, moved into that same house, The man went Mentally insane,
burned down the house with his family inside, grabbed a shot gun, when down
