Horror story

From the archive, first published Thursday 20th Nov 2003.

On Halloween I was alone when the bell rang at 9pm.

I went to answer the door and to my horror was confronted by a horrific mask.

I suffered severe palpitations which could have caused a heart attack and I would have died as my husband was not due home for some hours.

Who are these idiotic youths who take a delight in frightening elderly people.

Half an hour later this idiot returned and peered through my door again.

I threatened him with the police and he went but I was left in a state of shock.

What has happened to young people today?
