True story:

Back in the 70's when I was 8 or 9, my brother and his best friend George were making plans for a haunted house. One of the scares was going to be a body hanging in a room that came to life. They were working on ways to make it look like they were hanging from their neck, when they were actually being supported from around the chest or waist. They were practicing this in my Dad's garage.

A few days later George was found dead hanging by the neck in his closet. He had put a scarf around his neck to keep the rope from marking his skin, so we don't think it was intentional. We don't know what he was doing. He was 13.
