When I was a kid I was told by a reliable source (my older brother) that one of the farmers in our neck of the woods woke up one night to the sound of a child crying. He looked all around, as best he could in the dark, but could find nothing. The next morning when he went out to the barn to milk he found a child in one of his milk cans, dead, of course. Not really a ghost story, but it gave me the willies!

Two true stories from my own family: My sister was up late one night reading out in the kitchen. (We are a reading family.) We lived waaaay out in the country, quite a ways from town. We were i the livingroom watching TV or else already in bed. She looked up and a guy was looking at her through the window i the back door. Lots of screaming, but no one found him. Sometimes folks would escape from the mental hospital in Warren. On another occasion my oldest sister and brother were out in the yard playing and they looked up and saw a man standing in the cornfield just staring at them. His name was Harvey Hall and his whole family was bonkers. Dad chased hm off.

i have personally seen a ghost. but it isnt a scary story.

yours was kinda scary.

Not having ever seen a ghost, it seems to me like it should be inherently scary. Do tell!

My friend Dory went to Scotland last year and visited a haunted jail. Her husband's camera wouldn't work in the jail, but it would right outside the gates. He also came out with fingernail scratches all over him. She took pictures.

the spirit of a deceased friend scared off a person who broke into my apartment. i saw him. i know it was him. and the robber, who was caught by the cops moments later, also saw him and was babbling like an idiot.

the brother of dead friend has also seen him.


he wasnt scary. he was light. he was stephen.

also, my landlady, about 10 yrs ago, died of breast cancer while i was teaching her to play solitaire. how she had lived to 65 w/o knowing how to play solitaire is beyond me, but not the point. anyway, one night about 2 months after she died, i was sitting in bed playing sol. the cat (i only had one) was sitting on the bed. suddenly i became aware of a presence beside me in the room (not on the bed) the cat freaked and ran out of the room. i knew it was jean. i told her: jean, i thought i told you before you died that i DID NOT WANT any visitations. so poof on outta here! and she did. and the cat came back in and went over to where i had sensed her standing (floating?) and sniffed and mewed.

I am NEVER going to visit your place. I think only certain kinds of people are aware of ghosts. I am not even aware of my family sometimes, and they are pretty solid.

[mrshfromjersey]

Yes...Scotland is a freaky place. So much history.

When my grandmother on her death bed, she kept saying that she smelled her mother's perfume. It made her smile.

There was a farmer years ago that became caught in a piece of his farm equipment and perished. For those who are not familiar with this type of accident they are horible and usually very bloody. Anyway his widow was forced to sell the place ( several hundred acres ) as she was unable to handle the farm herself.

Everyone who has owned this farm since that untimely death ( the place has sold a couple of times ) and tried to grow corn have had extreme cases of corn rust, which is a red fungus that taints the leaves of the corn plant. The outbreaks are far more worse than any other farmer in that area have had to deal with.

Anyway it is believed the ghost of the original farmer haunts the farm and the red rust on the plants is his blood.

Anyon having sweet corn for Thanksgiving?
