Tainted bottle

Heather Semenyuk: “  I don't even know how to start, but um, so, when my sister was like two years old, two or three years old, we lived in a house in Oil City, Pennsylvania. And there was a nurse that passed away in that house. We didn't know it at the time. But, my sister got really sick, and they brought a pink bottle of, like, I don't know, amoxicillin or penicillin or something like that.

And the bottle must have been tainted, because my dad came into the kitchen–which we actually have a photograph of–and there was a ribbon next to the pole for the light switch, where my dad would grab. There was flour everywhere, and on the refrigerator, marked in the medication, big letters, ‘no’ with an exclamation point.

Um, Mom then called and found out that the, it was tainted and my sister would have died if they, they actually took it. So, gotta thank a ghost!”
