Everyone Stayed Away from Old Lady’s House Branding Her a Witch, One Day a Little Boy Peeks In — Story of the Day

Everyone in their neighborhood feared an elderly woman and avoided her because they believed she was a witch. However, one day a little boy peeked inside her house, which changed the lives of several people forever.

When 6-year-old Jason and his mother Catherine moved to the countryside, all of their neighbors warned them to stay away from the house in their neighborhood where 87-year-old Terri lived.

He resolved to look for it another day, but when he turned around to leave, he couldn’t find his way out. He was somewhere in the middle of a dense forest, and all he could see around him was snow.

The little boy continued walking in one direction until he came to a road that led to another suburb. But he...
