As we were a few minutes upon arriving to a retreat two summers ago, our driver who knew the owners of the cabin there told us that a SNAKE in the cabing has held previous residents in captive.

When we arrived the owners told us the rest of the story. They said that a black snake (I think) lives in the living room closet, and comes out in the early morning.
I was so uncomfortable throughout the whole retreat, in fear that I would come in contact with it.
