Real Ghost Tales

On May 17th, 2008, my husbands’ band played at a local club. We had packed up, and were driving home. It was a little before 3:00 am. Neither of us drinks, so we can get that out of the way now. The weather was cold, and it had just rained right before we left.

We took a back road to come home. The road is a narrow two-lane winding back road. Very dark, no lights and only one house, surrounded by woods. As we came around a bend (driving slowly, as we had a utility trailer on the back of our van), ahead, walking toward us along the side of the road was a young girl, about 10-12 years old. She had long dark hair. We couldn’t see her face as her hair was hanging over it. She was dressed in a white nightgown, the cotton kind, from the old days. Not like anything you can buy today.

In her hand was cradled a baby doll, wrapped sloppily in a blanket. She never even appeared to notice our vehicle as we drove by. She never looked toward the lights, and kept walking slowly straight ahead. In the side mirror, she had vanished.

We looked at the clock at the same time and saw it was 3:00 am. There is just no way a child is going to go out in the cold in her vintage nightgown, with a doll, and walk around in the dark woods. The only house nearby happens to be a very old stone farmhouse. It appeared she may have been heading that way.

We knew what we had seen. I had previous encounters, but my husband had never experienced anything. I was glad we both saw the same thing. She wasn’t transparent or fuzzy at all, she was actually very clear. We drove by twice this weekend in the night, but were not able to see her again. We will keep trying, though.
