True Ghost Experiences

The Beast

My story starts in the place I grew up in , a farm country area in suburban North Haven Ct. The roads here are pretty old and the area is unchanged for years. There is some local folklore about an area by a farm where people used to throw there garbage years ago. The area is next to a road that barley ever gets any traffic and is next to a small swamp that overflows during the rainy season. There is always an odor of something decaying there as long as I remember even though people don't dump garbage out of there cars there anymore. The local story is that a long time ago someone tossed a newborn baby there and left it for dead! and it was found dead. I have tried to document this locally but have never had any luck doing so. But people I have talked to all get an erie chill when they drive by this area including myself!!

With this backround information, my story continues. Where i grew up my house faced a small mountian, across the road, at the end of a field.Between the small field and the mountian is a small farm that used to have a 95 year old woman who ran the farm left to her by here deceased husband. The other side of this mountian is the area I have descibed where the baby was sopposidly found. As a child I used to stand in my front yard and throw stones into the field and try to reach the trees.I used to do this until I was 13, when something happened to me. One night at 11:45 or so, I threw a stone into the woods, and I heard something start moving. And making a kind of ungodly noise that I have never heard before!! Like the sound of a shrieking pig but far more haunting than that! I quickly retreated into my house pretty scared. About a month passed, and I was back out there at about midnight, I used to have a telescope and I used to star gaze. Dismissing what happened the month ! ! previously, I threw another rock. And the same thing happend, this time what was in the woods was moving a little faster, than it stopped. Like a fool I taunted it and threw another rock and dared it to show itself! I then heard something running towards me from the woods. I started to panic about being alone out there because no one was home but me! I scooped up my telescope and turned. I then could here this thing getting closer, and it was shrieking! I started to run with my telescope over my shoulder and I was half way to my door when I heard this thing had reached the street behind me! I heard the sounds of hooves on the pavement and I was terrified, it was chasing me!! It shrieked again with this tourtured sound that I will never forget. I made it to the door and got in my house and frantically locked the door!! I went upstairs shaking with fear and made sure the rest of the house was locked!! I got on the phone and called my best friend and told him what just happened a! ! nd he did not believe me. 25 min. later my mom came home and there was no sight of this thing I now call "the Beast". Since that time three times, (and I am now 30 years old), I have gone back at midnight . Then throwing a rock and within 5 min. hearing a shriek in the distance. But I never hang around after that! Is there a connection between "dead baby road" and "the beast"? I don't know, But I Swear the story is True!! Maybe it's a New Jersey Devil in Connecticut?
