THE PIG

When I was little my family would tell a story of a pig. My dad and my aunt and uncle said this is what happened to them one night. They were walking home from someones house one night when they saw this little pig in the road. They said they went to try to catch it and it ran away from them into a field. So they took off after it again and they caught it . But it got away again and this time when it got away it ran straight through a fence. The strange thing about this was when it came out on the other side of the fence it was a full grown pig.

                         THE GHOST LADY

Years ago on a back road in Shenandoah Junction a woman was found murdered. The story was that she had been stabbed and run over with a vehicle. After that people would talk about seeing a white thing run across the road in front of their vehicle while traveling on that road at night. My sister and her husband have seen it while on their way to work on the same road early in the morning before daylight.

                               THE STRANGE MAN

When I was little we use to live close to a railroad track. Well one night their was a train sitting on the track ( sometimes they sat for hours at a time ) and someone caught one of the boxcars on fire. Well we all took off down the hill to see what was going on and my oldest sister was the last one to make it down there. Afterwards my sister told us why it took her so long to get down there. She said as she was walking past the apple tree in the yard she saw a man standing there. At first she thought it was one of the neighbors but as she got closer she relised it wasn't. The man standing their was a lot taller ,he was dressed in black and he had a old fashioned hat on. She said he wasn't moving he was just standing there. She said instead of turning around and going back to the house she kept walking. And just as she got close to him he disappeared. She said that was the only time that she saw him.

In New Hampshire, Strafford County,Rochester. My unrising where I lived was on this older house that sat next to (at the time) active railroad tracks. The train tracks where next to an swamp that rest behind our backyard. The settings this certain area gets at times was a thick rolling cloud of fog that was easily used for alot of ghost stories, One night thou, I didnt need somebody to tell me any stories about ghost to have an experiance. I was sleeping in my bed, which I would wrapp myself tight in my covers during the night, just looking out the windows durig these night, as hot as it was, the fog would stretch across the yards where I lived at the time, where our yards couldnt be notified where covered with grass. During the time I would lay in my bed, I recall wondering my eyes around my room, where next to me I had an man with an looked like a large coat soaked in water standing almost above my bed. IAfter putting sense i wasnt alone in my room I had hid under my covers and froze in position where i laid without a budge until morning. I had made an impression out of sweat on my bed sheet i had become so terrified during the night. What I remember about the figure, the night before, that he had a water drentch coat. There was no sign of rain before the morning, thou there was a swamp the stretch across alot of the land in the area. Just another intresting fact, Police/with eviromental officers looking in the swamps for whichever intrest had found car from decades before that had unfortuanly crash (or maybe worse) in the swamp that noone would be able to notice without throghly searching deep into the swamps. hhhmm-

About 6 years ago, when I was in primary school, I was at my friend, Gabbie’s' farm and we were outside attempting to rollerblade. We both sucked, so we quit and sat down on the gravel. I noticed an old abandoned white house, about 100 metres away from Gabbie's house. She said it was an old house her great, great grandparents had lived in and I said lets go explore! The screen door was completely wrecked and there was a fridge with the doors wide open. The carpet was filthy and the sitting on the creaky porch out the front was an old chair. We cautiously walked in and that’s when we saw the ghost. It floated across the room and behind the fridge. We both screamed our heads off and absolutely dived out of the house and ran all the way to Gabbie's room and hid there. Of course, her Mum didn't believe us, but her Dad said that he had heard the door slamming in the night when there was no wind about. He also recalls the garage door being open, when he was positive he closed it the night before. At the time I believed in ghosts, but she didn't. But now we are both positive that ghosts exist. Some people say that kids have a vivid imagination, but it has stuck with me all these years, we both remember that day and think that we were lucky to witness it.
