TONGUE TWISTER
There was a group of tourists who went to the haunted hall. One's coat was caught on a nail and they paused. They found some flaws in the flow of lines along the wall, then they read the poems of Poe and Shaw. A ghost applauded the reading, and they all fled in awe. Later, the haunted hall was bought by a man named Joe.
