Buggy Barber

A man living in Kansas hated going to the barber. Thus, he never cut his hair. For 30 years his red hair grew and grew, until it finally reached his ankles. His wife begged him to cut his hair, for people smirked and stared whenever they saw him. He finally agreed, since his hair was annoying and got in his way.

When he arrived at the barber shop, he sat down nervously and waited for his haircut to begin. Half-way through the cut, he jumped up, screaming, and ran out of the shop.

His wife found him dead hours later on their door step, a huge nest of red-backed spiders crawling out of his tangled locks. When the barber was cutting his hair, he upset a nest of poisonous spiders living in the man's hair that bit him to death.

Another Version

Lily had to go to a very grand party so she saved up some money to get her hair done. She went into the salon and when the stylist asked what she wanted done to her hair, Lily showed her a pictrue of a model her hair done up like candy floss. The hair dresser put Lily's hair into this elaborate hair-do. She gladly paid her and enjoyed herself at the party that night. She got so many compliments on her hair, she decided to keep the style as long has she could - she sprayed it everyday and slept on it at night.

Three weeks later Lily's head began to feel sore. She went back to the salon and asked them to cut her hair and as the stylist began to work, Lily felt a sharp pain. Thinking the woman had cut her with her scissors, she lept from the chair and ran out of the salon.

Lily was later found dead at her house. A poinsonous spider had crawled into her hair while she slept and laid it's eggs. When the hairdresser upset the nest, the spiders had bitten her to death.
