I'm watching something on bio, about celebrity ghost stories. Made me think...why am I watching bio? That and do any of you have any ghost stories?
I was a camp counselor one year in my teens. I was let on to a great story about "prop man". Apparently, decades earlier someone found an old wooden airplane prop and that started a ghost story to scare the kids. As the first day or two went along the camp counselors would talk about "prop man" to each other when the kids were around. That aroused their interest and when asked about it, we would get serious and tell them we couldn't talk abut it- making them more curious. So, at the second night's campfire, we'd tell the tale of Prop Man. Some guy who crashed his plane in the woods decades earlier, had the prop driven thru his body, died yet was still running around the place. Towards the end of the story one of the counselors would hold the prop to their side and be running down a trail close to the fire. One of the counselors would shriek, "Look, there goes prop man!". The kids would catch a glimpse and scream their heads off. It was clever at the time.
Grew up in a house that was built in the 1880's...had a few weird experiences when I was pretty young. Walking down the flight of stairs we had once, I froze and couldn't move. I will never forget the sensation. It was the most overpowering thing I've ever experienced in my life and I was probably 5 or 6. Turns out a young girl had died in the house years before our family moved in. The son of the family that currently lives there has seen an apparition of a young girl in the dinning room window as well, in clothes from the early 20th or late 19th century. A really cool show for ghosts is Paranormal state. They have some crazy stuff happen nearly every show. We had a thread about ghosts a few months ago and someone had a really good Poltergeist story.
I just can't watch the ghost shows. They're pretty ridiculous. "Omg did you feel that? Something just grabbed me!" riiiiiight........
