Screaming Woman
Well, been lurkingfor quite a while now, figured it was time I actually postedsomething... This first is a true story, not sure if it qualifiesas a ghost story, but it scared the heck out of me when ithappened, and it's the story I tell around campfires:)
This happened about 9 years ago, on a very hot August night,around 10 oclock. (still remember the details vividly!) Becauseit was so hot, we had all the windows open, and could heareverything going on outside. There were alot of kids outsideyelling (the area was headed by a state road, with track homes,and then behind them were miles and miles of country), and so atfirst we didn't pay any attention to the light screams we heard.Then, around 10, I heard the most bloodcurdling scream! It wenton and on and on, I'll never forget the sound of that voice, itwas a woman, and it was a drastic change from the sound of kidsyelling in fun. I was familiar with the woods and fields aroundthe house, and so I ran downstairs, and told my parents that ithought it was coming from the woods behind our house. Theycalled the police, and soon the area was crawling with cops anddogs. They never found anything, but that night I had a veryscary dream (I'm still not sure it was just a dream) of a womanbeing hurt in this hidden field behind the house. The field wason a little hill, surrounded by trees, and had been forgotten...it looked like the whole thing was solid woods, but I had "rediscovered"it a few weeks before this all happened. Anyways, I had thisawful vision of a woman being killed and then buried loosely inthis field. For some reason after that night, I could never makemyself go back there...It wasn't just freaking myself out...weused to go trail riding with the horses back there, and theyspooked on the path that ran next to the hidden field...theynever used to have any problem going by it before!!! To makethings worse, I talked with a friend who lived down the road acouple days later, and she had seen a woman running down the roadaround 9:15 the night that all this occured, followed (chased?)by a van. She said the woman didn't look like she was jogging,but didn't call the police because she was in the house byherself and didn't want to deal with the cops. Very scary!
This second story is one that I heard told about Wymoco 4H campnear Attica, NY. Supposedly, a violent prisoner escaped fromAttica prison, and took up residence in this really wierd sunkenhouse that was on camp property. The house is the same as anyother house, but for some reason it sunk all the way up to the 2ndfloor windows. Only the top part is visible, and it's tiltedkinda strangely. This prisoner is supposed to come get camperswho don't stay near the fire when they have the campout by acreek. He wears a pumpkin over his real head, and will cut offsomeone's head and replace it with a pumpkin if he finds them. Wehad to ride by the house almost everyday we went out on thetrails (it was a riding camp where you brought your own horse).Everyone was so wound up by the story that the horses would spookwhenever we got nearby... of course it didn't help that whenevera group of campers went out for a night adventure walk, someonewould follow them and throw a pumpkin in front of them....ooooh..spooky...:)
well, that's all i've got for now..hope you like them:)
