Wicks' Campfire Tales: #3 - The Well of DEATH (or Typhoid Mary)

WARNING: I strongly recommend that you only read this if you are aged 13 or over.

3 - The Well of DEATH (or Typhoid Mary)
Once there was a washerwoman in Ye Olde London Town and her name was Mary. In the part of London where she lived there was a well where everyone got their water. Now, one night Mary fell in the well and died. Unbeknownst to everyone, including her, she was a healthy carrier of typhoid. So, by drinking from the well (and therefore drinking Mary's corpse juices), everyone in London caught typhoid.
