Just when he thought it was some prank, he heard a voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, are you okay?’ Turned out, it was just a regular checking out the specials. The store was never haunted after that—just full of friendly shoppers and great deals.

The figure turned around—just an old lady in an apron, humming merrily. She said, “No thanks, honey, I’ve got everything under control.” And then she winked and disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only a faint scent of canned corn. The delivery guy shrugged and went home, thinking it was just another late-night Hy-Vee adventure.
