Hey, thanks for the nice thoughts. I like to be scientific about
things, however rediculous they are, so I did exactly what this e-mail
said; I LOOKed up ''smith sisters murdered anonymously''. on GOOGLE
because after all, I don't want to be killed in the closet and
skinned to death, too. and what do you know, Snopes was the first
thing that came up at Google (attached below in it's entirety).
I was thinking about forwarding this to my friend Lisa Smith (aka
Danger Bird) but why waste her time?
You shouldn't waste your time, either. You should spend your time
wisely by going and listening to Lisa's music at
http://www.myspace.com/dangerbirdmusic
or by going and listening to Dweebish's music at
http://www.myspace.com/dweebishband
Thanks for being smart!

so she decided to sleep with her little sister. the girl dozed off
quikly. then she heards a knock on the window. the girl slowly walked
to the window. it started knocking louder. the girl looked through the
windows and saw nothing. just some of the tree branches. the girl went
back to bed with her sister. the bed was wet and a pretty smells
horrid. maybe her sister wet the bed... the girl checked and found
blood everywhere. the girl panick. she didnt know what to do. she ran
and hid in the closet incase the guy was their for her. while looking
through the cracks of the closet the girl saw a shadow. it was dark so
she couldnt figure out who it was. she started to get more frighten.
the man crept closer to the closet. the girl closed her eyes as if it
was a dream. then suddenly he open the closet door and pulled her out.
her parents found her dead. she was skinned all the way and was hunged
in her sisters closet.

2 years after the the sisters deaths, the her parents got pregnant
with a baby boy the girls room became a guest bedroom and the little
sisters room where the murder took place became the babys room. the
baby grew up to be a secessful kid. one night he was on the computer
and got a instant messege.

parents will kill you at night. they will kill you
DONT BELEIVE ME? LOOK IT UP N GOOGLE
Origins: We began encountering this tale in our inbox in late June
2005. Almost two months later, near the end of August 2005, versions
mailed to us began including this coda:
ps guys..i looked it up on google and it really happened. creepy eh? i
dont normally do these..but this one kind of bothered me a little bit.
heres the article.
"Smith sisters murdered anonymously
In 1993, two sisters were brutally murdered in the small-town
community of Plainfield, wisconsin. Lisa Smith, 19; and her sister,
Sarah Smith, 15; were attacked in their parent's home on the night of
November 17th, around 1:30AM. Sarah was found stabbed and strangled in
the bed where she had been sleeping. Her sister Lisa was found hanging
in her sister's closet, skinned alive. Police conducted an extensive
investigation, but to no avail. The motives for the attack were never
discovered, nor was the attacker ever found. The only lead athorities
had was a log found in Lisa's computer, showing a series of
threatening messages sent through an Internet Relay Chat service. The
case was closed in October of 2000."
Plainfield, Threatening with a knifeWisconsin, is a community of less
than a thousand people located in central Wisconsin. As its one claim
to fame, it was the birthplace of Ed Gein, a farmer who was convicted
of murdering one woman in 1957 and confessed to having killed another
in 1954. His notoriety came, however, from his use of dead bodies: he
mutilated the corpses of women, cutting off a variety of their body
parts and fashioning these into macabre items.
As one might suspect, murder in Plainfield is relatively rare. As one
might further suspect, no two teen girls named Lisa and Sarah Smith
were murdered in that town in 1993, nor their parents a number of
years later. The story is fiction, plain and simple, just another
example of the 'bad things will happen to you if you don't forward
this chain letter' genre. (The concept is stated explicitly in its
text: "this is a death chain. if you dont send this in the next hour
the parents will kill you at night.") We discuss another example of
this type of chain letter — one that uses a photo to tell its chilling
tale — in our "Bed Reckoning"
article.
Numerous inconsistencies in the Internet-circulated story provide
enough clues to its being fiction that even those lacking access to
online news archives should be able to dismiss it as an attempt to
yank their chains:
* The younger sister is murdered while the older girl is either
sleeping beside or going to the window to check on an odd sound, yet
the older sibling hears nothing happening in the room and is alerted
to something's being amiss only because the bed is wet and
ill-smelling upon her return to it.
* Rather than scream for help or run from the room, the older girl
hides in the closet.
* The older sister is pulled from the closet by her murderer and
her body is returned there to be hung for her parents to discover, yet
while she's in this closed space before her killer takes her from it,
she carves hers and her sister's names and the time and date. If she
had something with which to gouge messages into the floorboards or
onto the walls, why didn't she use it to stab at her attacker and
escape his clutches? Also, wasn't it thoughtful of her murderer to
afford her time to finish her woodworking escapades before coming for
her?
* The parents (who we presume are sleeping in the same house,
since the story doesn't mention their being absent that night) hear
nothing of their two daughters being murdered.
* The son (who we work out from the story is 12 years old: "15
years ago" less "2 years after the the sisters deaths" less a
nine-month gestation period) lives those twelve years in the murder
room yet never once notices the message carved in the closet.
* The girls were murdered "In 1993" yet the IM'ing ghost of one of
them informs her brother she died "15 years ago." Our calendar says
it's 2005, not 2008.
* Instant message capability didn't become an online reality until
1997 when AOL introduced its Instant Messenger service. Yahoo
Messenger (which the narrative tells us was used by the murderer to
contact one of the sisters prior to his killing her) began in 1999.
However, while IM didn't exist in 1993, chat rooms did — IRC (Internet
Relay Chat) was most certainly part of the cyber world at least as far
back as 1993, else I retain rather vivid yet baseless false memories
of what I was doing with a great many of my nights back then.
If all this seems too silly to bother dissecting, we initially thought
so too. Then we read this discussion at alexlab.com, which shows at
least some folks have been taking the story somewhat seriously.
