The following is an excerpt from my book, "It Ain't Heavy - It's The Lite Side."
Potatogeist Most people have probably heard of the “Amityville Horror,” but they don’t know that an equally horrible story occurred in Minnesota. This tale of terror began when Dale and Dot Doberstein, a typical middle-class couple, bought what they thought was their dream house. They didn’t know that the ghost of a vegetarian and health food fanatic who was tragically killed when a Hostess Twinkie truck ran over him haunted their new house.
Soon after the Doberstein's moved into their new house, strange things began to happen, first their bottle of A1 Steak sauce disappeared. Then they found trail mix in the pockets of all their clothes. Someone squeezed all of their loaves of Wonder Bread in the middle. All of their red meat vanished and in its place they found squares of tofu.
One night Dale got up to get a glass of water. When he walked into the kitchen he saw a white vapor cooking stir-fried vegetables in a wok.
The final straw came when the couple heard an unearthly voice yelling at them to “get out!” They later realized the voice was actually saying, “eat sprouts!”Dale and Dot packed a few of their belongings and fled into the night. They later bought a condo in downtown Minneapolis. However, they claimed walking on Hennepin Ave. after dark was more terrifying than living in a haunted house and they moved back in with the ghost.
