MY GRANDPA
(Britt)
I am 11 years old and had a ghost at my old house. I believe it was my grandpa. He died of a heart attack. Every night I would hear his footsteps outside on the side walk. When my brother was little, he heard it too.
THE STALKING DARK FIGURE
(Jackie)
This isn't a recent incident. It happened to me about 7 yrs. ago. I used to work third shift and had gotten off early around 3:30 am. As I was driving towards home I kept getting this sensation that I was afraid. I had been driving this same way home many times before at this same time and had never felt this before so I was getting a little freaked out by it. It seemed the closer I got to my house the stronger the feeling became, until I was literally shaking from fear. I turned onto my road off the main highway and had to stop. For some odd reason I knew something was waiting for me in my driveway! I pulled in and turned the engine off. I could feel something watching out there in the dark. I was terrified to open my car door and there was no way I was looking back behind the car. I knew it was back there just beyond the glow of the porch light that my husband had left on for me. I got my courage up and opened the car door and made a mad dash for the front door of my house. Just as I rounded the back of the car for some reason I stopped and looked to my left toward the trees coming straight at me was this big black thing. It was blacker then the night sky behind it. I was frozen to the spot and couldn't move. It never made a sound as it was descending out of the air towards me. I screamed and ducked as it went over my head. It wasn't a bird. It was really big and not like anything that I had ever seen before. It went into the cedar trees in my front yard and just kind of hovered there watching me. I took off running as fast as I could, dropping my house keys in the process. I got to the door and my husband was already opening it to see why I was screaming. As I rushed into his arms I turned and pointed toward the cedar trees. He looked that way just in time to see it duck back into the tree it was in. He grabbed me, pulled me inside the house, and then he slammed the front door and locked it. We both ran to the kitchen and pulled the curtain back to look outside at the tree where it was at. We could still see it there, just barely though. It knew we were watching it, just as we knew it was watching us. After a couple of minutes it just disappeared like it was never there. My husband took me in his arms and that's when I noticed that the feeling of fear I had all the way home was gone. I have never, ever had a feeling of being of afraid like I did that morning. I told my husband everything that had happened. He then told me that a couple of months before this happened he was taking the trash out to the curb and had seen this thing. There was a car passing by, so he thought that it was just a trick of the headlights you know, maybe silhouetting an owl or some other large bird sitting in one of the trees across the road. He could sense that it was watching him and it gave him the willies. We never found out what it was and frankly I don't really want to know. It had no shape to it at all. Just a big black thing. I wouldn't let the children play outside after dark unless there was someone there with them. Neither I nor my husband ever saw this thing again until about 6 months later. We were moving to a big place, as we were leaving the house for the last time I looked back as we drove down the driveway and there in the cedar trees was the black thing. It just sat there watching us as we drove away. It has been 7 yrs. as I stated earlier and we haven't seen it since. It never bothered the children and they were never told about it. Only my youngest daughter knows because she overheard heard my husband and I talking about it one day. We told her everything and she kept the promise she made to never tell her siblings.
