Does anyone have any? I saw the movie Paranormal Activity a few nights ago and it really creeped me out. Mostly because I believe in ghosts or spirits or whatever you want to call them...and the movie seemed to be a pretty genuine depiction of what would happen if your house really was haunted (it's a Blair Witch/documentary type of movie).
So in light of just seeing that movie and with Halloween approaching us, it got me thinking about real life ghost stories and if anyone has any. I've got one...
About 4 years ago my friends and I were walking to this really old cemetery near my house around dusk time. When we got there, about 50 feet from us was a figure walking across the cemetery. It was about 7 feet tall and extremely thin...sort of like a walking tree branch or something (but it had limbs). It was translucent, you could see through it but it was almost glowing. It was walking very slowly and it didn't notice us, but we all seemed to notice it at the same time. We just stopped dead in our tracks and said, "What is that?" then without thinking we all just reacted and turned around and ran away. Looking back, I wish I would have stayed for a little bit to observe it more...
I live in the village of Orchard Park which has a lot of history to it dating back to the Quakers and the underground railroad, so every now and then I hear a good ghost story or someone talking about their house being haunted. The house across the street from me used to be an insane asylum in the 1800s...I've been in there a few times but never at night, I could only imagine what it must be like at night...
So, does anyone have any good stories?
Fly, I was in Utah a couple years ago and the TV program A Haunting was at the house right nextdoor to the house we had rented filming a true story demonic haunting program, it freaked out me and my roommates so much, we rented a place across town lol
