House of Terror Part II

He knocked on the door, and to his surprise, it was answered rather quickly. An older man, looking to be in his late 70's, asked him what he wanted. Jeff explained the situation and asked if the man had a phone or some way to help. The old man said he was weary of travelers but decided that Jeff looked honest enough to let him use his phone. Jeff thanked him, and asked his name.He said his name was Joseph Palmer, and told Jeff the number of the nearest garage. Jeff made his way through the phone, noticing that the house looked about as old inside as it did outside, and was surprised that there was even a phone at the place. He called the garage, but they said there was nothing they could do until morning comes, and they would meet him at noon at his car. Mr. Palmer offered Jeff the guestroom to sleep in for the night. Jeff was a bit weary at spending the night in such a spooky old house, but decided that the walk back in the rain and sleeping in the car couldn't be much safer than staying at the house. He accepted, and was shown to the room.
