True Ghost Experiences

The Beast

My story starts inthe place I grew up in , a farm country area in suburban NorthHaven Ct. The roads here are pretty old and the area is unchangedfor years. There is some local folklore about an area by a farmwhere people used to throw there garbage years ago. The area isnext to a road that barley ever gets any traffic and is next to asmall swamp that overflows during the rainy season. There isalways an odor of something decaying there as long as I remembereven though people don't dump garbage out of there cars thereanymore. The local story is that a long time ago someone tossed anewborn baby there and left it for dead! and it was found dead. Ihave tried to document this locally but have never had any luckdoing so. But people I have talked to all get an erie chill whenthey drive by this area including myself!!

With this backround information, my story continues. Where i grewup my house faced a small mountian, across the road, at the endof a field.Between the small field and the mountian is a smallfarm that used to have a 95 year old woman who ran the farm leftto her by here deceased husband. The other side of this mountianis 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 intothe field and try to reach the trees.I used to do this until Iwas 13, when something happened to me. One night at 11:45 or so,I threw a stone into the woods, and I heard something startmoving. And making a kind of ungodly noise that I have neverheard before!! Like the sound of a shrieking pig but far morehaunting than that! I quickly retreated into my house prettyscared. About a month passed, and I was back out there at aboutmidnight, I used to have a telescope and I used to star gaze.Dismissing what happened the month ! ! previously, I threwanother rock. And the same thing happend, this time what was inthe woods was moving a little faster, than it stopped. Like afool I taunted it and threw another rock and dared it to showitself! I then heard something running towards me from the woods.I started to panic about being alone out there because no one washome but me! I scooped up my telescope and turned. I then couldhere this thing getting closer, and it was shrieking! I startedto run with my telescope over my shoulder and I was half way tomy 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 soundthat I will never forget. I made it to the door and got in myhouse and frantically locked the door!! I went upstairs shakingwith fear and made sure the rest of the house was locked!! I goton the phone and called my best friend and told him what justhappened a! ! nd he did not believe me. 25 min. later my mom camehome and there was no sight of this thing I now call "theBeast". Since that time three times, (and I am now 30 yearsold), I have gone back at midnight . Then throwing a rock andwithin 5 min. hearing a shriek in the distance. But I never hangaround after that! Is there a connection between "dead babyroad" and "the beast"? I don't know, But I Swearthe story is True!! Maybe it's a New Jersey Devil in Connecticut?
