the matter Swamp story. The old man lived in the parish swamp, deep up in the woods. Well, he never did a lot of harm in the world, but well, he never did do a lot of good neither. Well, people didn't think too much of him. Well, they thought he all acted kind of funny, but the old man didn't care about people anyway, All he cared about was his money. Now he's stuff it all down into mason jars and he bury it all around and on certain nights if the moon was right, he'd dig it up out of the ground, he'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack and he'd run his fingers through it. Yeah, Willie butts was a greedy old man and that's all there was to it now, the murky boys. Well, they were white trash and they lived over on the bed of a creek, neighbors mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat. And they were belligerent when Nate speak now. One night the oldest brother said, y'all meet me at the battle swamp later and we'll take old willie's money and we'll feed him to the alligators. Well, the plan came to action enough. The boys went, there's some things in this old world, you just can't explain Now. They found the old man out in the back with a shovel in his hand. 13 Rusty Mason Jars. He just dug up out of the sand. Now immediately they turned into savages and they beat the old man into a bloody pool. And after the frenzy, they picked them up off the ground and threw them into the swamp and they stood there and laughed until the black water sucked them down. They turned around and went back to the shack and they picked up the rest of the money and ran. But they hadn't gotten no where's when they realized they were running in quick share. Now They struggled and they screamed and they couldn't get away. But just before they went under they could hear that old man laughing. You know, voice is loudest thunder. Now, if you go by there yet it's been 50 years and there's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack where the ground is always wet and on certain nights if the moon is right and you're down by that dark footpath You can hear three young men screaming and you can hear
