the thing free told by Alvin Schwartz. Ted Martin and Sam Miller were good friends. They spent a lot of time together on this particular night. They were sitting on a fence near the post office, talking about one thing and another. There was a field of turnips across the road. Suddenly, they saw something crawl out on the field and stand up. It looked like a man, but in the dark, it was hard to tell for sure. Then it was gone, but soon it appeared again. It walks halfway across the road. Then it turned around and went back into the field. Then it came out 1/3 time and started towards them. By now, Ted and Sam were scared and they started running. But when they finally stopped, they decided they were being foolish. They weren't sure what had scared them, so they decided to go back and get a better look. Pretty soon they saw it, for it was coming to meet them. It was wearing black pants, a white shirt and black suspenders, Sam said. I'm going to try to touch it, Then we'll know if it's real. He wants up to it and peered into its face. It had bright, penetrating eyes, some deep into its head. It looked like a skeleton. Ted took one look and screamed, and again he and Sam ran. But this time the skeleton followed them. When they got to Ted's house, they stood in the doorway and watched it. It's date out in the road for a while, then disappeared. A year later, Ted got sick and died toward the end. Sam set up with him every night. The night Ted died, Sam said he looked just like the skeleton.
