Canning Town haunting...

  Many, many, many years ago in the early Victorian time, a young rich girl was born, everyone in the town bought her toys and teddy bears and loved her dearly all exept one young boy about fourteen years of age, was jealous of the new born baby.

  As the years went by the jealousy grew stronger, and the hate for the innocent young girl was growing stronger.

  Until one night when the boy turned twenty one years of age when the young girl was seven years of age, the young boy crept into her room and stabbed her several times.

  When morning came the young boys parents went to wake him up, only to see that the boy was missing, and the young girls mother was so horrified to see that her daughter of seven years of age was murdered on her mother's birthday.

  Since then the young girl haunts Canning Town killing young boys, every anniversary of her death. So watch out it could be you.
