   As a teenager, we would take a trip to the Pitcairn woods.  We heard that   
   there was a house made entirely of glass deep in the woods.  Also, in order to   
   get there, you had to drive through the woods hoping you wouldn't be   
   confronted by the in-breds.  We    
   would turn off the headlights and it was sooooooo dark, you couldn't see your   
   hand in front of your face....we were to be looking out for "red" eyes glowing.
