Tonight's Squatchable Halloween Countdown: Day 20 – What lies beneath – Haunted bodies of water
Movie: What Lies Beneath – (Rated R) – The ghost is actually out of the water but the body is still there and I love this movie so therefore, it counts! You can rent it on Amazon or check your cable/satellite provider.
Water is a part of us all, about 60 percent in fact. This means that like it or not, our lives have to be tied to water.
