Haunted Road
I often attended gatherings at my friend Carrie's house. There would typically be about 10 to 15 of us and Wes and I were usually there. Carrie lived in a neighborhood that was often the center of "ghost" stories. I had heard many of thema nd never put much stock in them...most of them were similar and told by teenagers in the area.
Now at this particular party there was only people that I knew. Christine (who I would trust in any paranormal experience because she had witnessed things w/ me), Wes (who you have heard about in previous posts), Jeff (my now ex boyfriend), Johnny (Carries boyfriend who was a very sensetive person and always honest with me), Amy (who I disliked most of the time because she was a compulsive liar), Carrie (who never witnessed anything paranormal in her entire life),a group of guys (who were inseperable and loyal to thier friends including me), and myself. I am sure that there were other people there, they just have nothing to do with this experience:).
Amy asked me around 12 if I would walk with her. It was a bit smoky in the house and I welcomed the chance to get some fresh air. Carries house was on kind ofa circular rode..maybe 20 minutes from her house, around the circle and back to the beginning again.
Now as Amy and I walked by the sign to Carries neighborhood she thought she heard something behind us. I ignored her, knowing that she had an overactive imagination (and also thought she might be lying to get a scare out of me). Once around the corner and on to the side road I also thought I heard something behind us. It wasnt a sounmd that I could name, nothing that could be called anything...just a audible awarness that something was there. I tried to ignore it (gee maybe if I pretend it isnt there it will go away..hehe). The sound stopped for a time and Amy and I walked on, a bit nervous, yet not overly scared. As we got about halfway down the winding back road I felt a very cold breeze...it was in the middle of summer so you can imagine how wierd that was. I turned around because the breeze had come from behind me. All the way down at the end of the road (yes, I know I said it was curvy, but not that curvy:) I could see a figure standing. It was more of a shadow or! ! , how do I explain this...like when I was in kindergarden we would stand in fron tof a light so that another student could trace our profile....thats exactly what it was like. It was the middle of the night, so that gives you an idea as to how dark the "shadow" was.
Amy and I paused momentarily to look back and the figure moved foward, not noticably walking, but still moving foward. We decided who ever it was we didnt know him and would hurry to get back to the house (at this point we werent really thinking of ghosts..just some creepy guy).
I am not sure what spooked us but we began to run. As we got to the end of the curvy raod we could see the guy turning the last ( and only sharp turn) and coming to us quickly. I stopped and he stopped. I faced him for a moment and the entire time Amy was screaming at me and wondering what teh hell I was doing. Now I must have accidently "thrown" my anger at him because it/ he stumbled backwards...I dont know if stumble is the right word..he just kind of jerked back..all of him..as if he was a stiff peice of wood, not a person with arms and legs. AT this point I got really scared (oops, do you think I pissed it off?).
As I turned to hurry to the house I heard Amy exclaim "WHat the hell?!?!". I turned once more to teh shape and it glowed! A translucent reddish purple haze for a fraction of a second and then it darted foward!
I ran with all my strength to the house and inside. Just as Amy and I slammed the door there was a loud bang against the door and the door shook. Carries dog barked and ran from the room howling.
Wes, Johnny, Carrie and a few other people were in the room. Amy and I related what had happened and of course all the "men" wanted to investigate. I got up the courage to go with them and we all started walking towards the neighbohood sign again. As they were slowly walking and scoping everything out I felt suddenly drawn towards something in front of me. I hurried along and after that I dont recall much.
The others saw the figure up ahead of me and called to me. I didnt seem to hear them and they started to run after me. AT some point they caught me and had to literally drag me kicking and screaming to the house. I am only 5'2 and at the time I was not a very heavy person. It took Wes, Johnny, Jeff and another guy to drag me back to the house. All of these guys were pretty large and normally could have brought me back on thier own, but tehy say I was screaming, clawing and make this god awful noise somewhat akin to a cat fight. At this point everyone decided it would be best to stay in side. We spent the remainer of the night in the basement away from all the windows and doors (can you imagine a bunch of people that scared?).
To this day none of us has figured out what happened. I dont know what happened to me (maybe a spirit took control but I dopnt think I want to think about that). The same figure has been spotted by others in the same area and no one bothers to go near it anymore. I welcome any comments and would enjoy some insight if anyone knows of this sort of experience. It happed just outside of Annapolis...in the boondocks of ST. Margarettes.
