There were many variations of the story, but all revolved around the idea that there was SOMETHING or SOMEONE in the woods. The younger kids insisted it was a witch, and the older kids came up with detailed stories about the murderer/bank robber who lived in the woods, complete with certain times that were supposed to be evil/haunted/unlucky as a result of his evil deeds. One girl claimed she went in until she got to a clearing with a tent and some old office chairs. She said she heard breathing and saw a bloody knife on the ground and ran off terrified. I don't know if the stories still exist, but I remember being fascinated when I first heard them.<br /><br />+2 I'm a follower.<br /><br />paradoxrevealed (at) aim (dot) comParadoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079964912873947188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069851667021476068.post-61971960468482028482009-09-23T17:31:06.634-04:002009-09-23T17:31:06.634-04:00This is actually a fact.

There’s a saying that in our children’s department (this is located downstairs) you can hear voices, voices of children. I once myself heard kids talking and I was the only one downstairs covering a shift for a coworker. Also we have a Young Primary shelf and you can display the books, when I was there working on a craft one of the books fell and I was completely alone (this shelf in next to the circulation desk) If you take a look at the shelf someone has to knock the book down. So finally I went to pick it up and put it back on the shelf as I was sitting down it fell again. It makes you think and believe. <br /><br />+2 I'm a follower<br /><br />Ruidosoplibrary2@gmail.comRPLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759048371314469266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069851667021476068.post-29039702939925021372009-09-23T13:53:43.122-04:002009-09-23T13:53:43.122-04:00+2 follower

In Spanish, they told us the story of the Chupacabra, a blood-sucking creature that is of an unknown breed.

If not here is the overview:<br /><br />According to the legend, the first manifestation of the haunting occurred in 1817 when John William Bell, Sr. encountered a strange animal in a cornfield on his large farm in Robertson County, on the Red River, near Adams, Tennessee. The animal, described as having the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit, vanished when Bell shot at it. This incident was quickly followed by a series of strange beating and gnawing noises manifesting outside and eventually inside the Bell residence. Betsy Bell, the family's younger daughter and the only daughter still living at home (Bell's oldest daughter Esther married Alexander Bennett Porter July 24, 1817), claimed to have been assaulted by an invisible force.<br /><br />2+ become a follower<br /><br />neverendingshelf@gmail.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928184232202306537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069851667021476068.post-16732741460079506472009-09-15T18:19:01.154-04:002009-09-15T18:19:01.154-04:00One of our favorite ghost stories is the phantom o...One of our favorite ghost stories is the phantom of a young girl with half a face (no cheek, nose and mouth), black hair and eyes bulging out of their sockets, solemnly skipping rope as she floats down the street. She is said to be the ghost of a murdered teenage girl, strangled by her own jump roap and left to decompose along the roadside, now doomed to wander Old Pali Road on the island of Oahu. <br /><br />+2 Already follow!<br /><br />delilah0180(at)yahoo(dot)commrsshukrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081541541853441228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6069851667021476068.post-63739860527799863092009-09-13T05:39:53.113-04:002009-09-13T05:39:53.113-04:00Mary D
