stories from the grave

It is October, and everyone in my neighborhood is preparing for Halloween! I live in Denton,TX, and it has its share of ghostly legends; like the spirits of the infamous Bonie n' Clyde who visit the town square. And The Hangman Trio, who were outlaws that were hung during the late 1800s. Does anyone have their own local ghost story? If not, thats fine, but I added this ghost video just in case you get bored. Enjoy!

I live in Pennsylvania, so yeah, we've got our share of legends and stories here.

Now *that's* a list. My favorite one is the "Seven Gates of Hell" in York. Of course, if you've ever been to York, you'd agree that the entire city qualifies as Hell, ghosts or no ghosts.

My school is said to be haunted by the ghosts of the former principles who actually kept their teachers in check. Thus, my math teacher isn't a terrible person on Halloween.

I'm haunted by the ghost of Jimmy Carter.

I once heard a baby crying in our attic, and no one else was in the house...
There was a time where I freaking swear I heard a banshee... Woman weeping, clearly heard, no other people (besides friend who is male, and sounds nothing like a woman).

When I was about 6, my mom and I heard, very clearly, our neighbor from across the street saying hi to my brother. We went out and asked him "Is Paul here?" and he just looked at us like we were crazy and said no. And he sounded absolutely nothing like my brother, and my brother stopped being able to do his one voice impression two years before that. That one voice being Marge Simpson.

I was gonna spam Weird U.S., but it's down at the moment, so have Weird NJ instead!

One thing that's happened to me was when I was about nine years old. I was sitting in the living room and I heard the sound of dog toenails clicking on the linoleum floor in the kitchen (the next room over). Thing is, our dog had died a year before. The kitchen was where we kept his food and water bowls.

My college (Longwood Univeristy) has a lot of ghost stories attatched to it. Quite a few of them were just your standard urban legends you hear at every college (the girl who died trying to climb through her boyfriend's dorm window and now she scratches at the window trying to get in, etc), but we still had a bunch of good ones that were exclusive to our school. This page has a couple of good ghost stories. My favorite is the one about the soldier's shadow. Real Haunts has a few more stories, too.

Oh, a pet ghost! I had a cat that died sometime in 2001. Sometimes, when I vacuum upstairs, the vacuum keeps shuting down everytime I go near the spot below the balcony window. My cat used to nap and bask near that window, and she hates the vacuum cleaner. The same thing happened when we hired a housekeeper to our home one day. She couldn't get the vacuum to work even though it was plugged in and the tank was not very full. I told her that it was just my cat probuly taking a nap and doesn't want to be disturbered. You wouldn't believe the look on her face when I told her that my cat was dead:D.

I once thought I saw a ghost in my house. Then I realised I had just walked past a mirror.

I hate being pale.

One time I saw a ghost with a chainsaw looming towards me. Then I woke up.

I once had a heart attack when I saw my own shadow.
