The children of Glen Haddock often played near the empty barn on Signal Hill. They would dare each other to approach and brag about going inside at night.
The barn was abandoned years before. The children speculated what evil might lay within and noticed that sparrows would fly inside and never fly out again.
There was a man working the field near the barn. He was frightening in his own way. He warned the children away.
“That’s where we lock away the scarecrows after they go bad.”
None of the kids ever thought of going into the barn after that.
