Ghost Ping!
Ghost Ping!
What gets me is the idea this child has been talking about something(someone) for five years before they found the bones. Creepy.
They should have the little girl look at photos of missing African-American girls of that age, from that time period, in those areas, and see if she finds her "friend." Then they could see if the connection pans out. Not only would it not hurt in a case with few leads, it might go a long way to proving that ghosts exist.
Fascinating story....
thanks for the ping...
Please add me to you ping list thank you.
Thanks for the ghost ping!
I have a pretty good ghost story of my own.
My mother grew up in an old house in Pennsylvania.
The house had originally been standing in England.
It was deconstructed and brought over for a sea captain's wife who was homesick for england and the sea.
Some 40 years later my mother's family bought it.
One day when I was just 4 years old I was at the house for a party, everyone was outside on the polo grounds for a party and I went inside to use the bathroom.
I didnt realise there was a bathroom on first floor and went upstairs to use one of the bathrooms. When I was walking back down the staircase, I reached the bottom and turned around for some reason.
I looked back up at landing. The landing had a window behind it. Half in front of the window and in front of the wall was a filmy slender form that basically looked like a soap bubble shaped human wearing a lacy dress.
I blinked and it was still there for about 5 more seconds. Finally it disappeared and I ran outside.
I didnt tell anyone at first what happened. Just told my mother I wanted to go home.
When we were driving home I told my mother and she almost hit a tree.
I didnt know why she was freaked but years later I found out that the aforementioned sea capatain's wife had killed herself by jumping over the stairwell after she found out her husband had been killed.
The information was verified in counties records.
One day years later the house suddenly caught on fire in the same spot I saw the ghost (no exact cause was ever found)
My family sold it to another family. The family moved in and moved out 30 days later saying it was haunted.
They never lived in it again and finally tore it down. Which seems fairly drastic since the house had 10 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. The lot stood vacant for 10 years and now finally a new house is being put up.
Ive never seen another ghost. No Thanks.
