The steps creaked and moaned whenever anyone used them to reach the front door. Most old steps do so, but the creaking and moaning of these particular steps caused most people to walk around to the side of the house and use the newer cement steps at the kitchen or even to change their minds about visiting altogether. Whether they were afraid the steps would give way or the uncanny resemblance to the entrance of a haunted home caused chills too fierce to ignore is uncertain. The Webb children claimed there was another reason for the problem. They believed their house was cursed and the faulty stairs were meant to warn and not threaten.
Before you start making snap judgments about the children such as “they must be highly imaginative” or “they must be given to ridiculous notions”, you should know that there was much evidence to back up their claim. In fact, though the house had been cursed for decades, the majority of the evidence piled up within one year.

The Sugar-Free Diet: Worth a Try
The Sugar-Free Diet: Worth a Try
When Dr. Olson first contacted me about trying his sugar-free diet, I was skeptical. The idea of going completely without sugar for an entire month seemed crazy! But after reading his book, “Sugarettes”, I realized that the idea did make sense. I also realized that it wouldn’t kill me to give it a try.
I had been blogging about the pain I was in and the problem I was having losing weight when Dr. Olson took notice and asked how I would feel about trying his diet and writing about it. I had carte blanche to write anything I wanted — even if it was negative.
Those thirty days were some of the hardest in my life. For the first few days, I craved sugar more than I’d ever craved it and I almost gave in more than once but after one week, I noticed a change in the way I felt. My muscles weren’t sore, I felt more clear-headed and I had lost 4 pounds!
I lost 12 pounds in those thirty sugar-free days. I learned something too. I learned that the idea of going without sugar is actually worse than the reality.
If you need to lose weight, have difficulty with concentration, feel jittery or have chronic muscle pain, read “Sugarettes” and try going sugar-free for thirty days. It has been working for hundreds of people, including me.
