Happy Birthday!<br /><br />Yes, I recall the ghost stories growing up, especially the one about the Screaming Woman who was killed during a stage coach accident in the Black Hills. The kids always listened to Dad-friend tell the story of Tell Tale Heart.

Trying to get on one of those campuses during school hours is like trying to break into a prison. <br /><br />As far as I know, neither of my kids know any ghost stories.

They disappear from my shelves!<br />Happy birthday (late) to Will. I hope he had fun!<br />The readers are so excited to Skype, Frances! I am waiting for Bill to get home to help me get a number and all that. Next week? What day is not full of doings for you? I won't be at school on Friday. We're going to Philadelphia.

Then she hears this rhythmic banging on the roof just as a policeman [with torch] appears in front of the car and says "Stay there. We will get you out in a minute" <br />I cannot tell you the rest of it, if you don't already know the story- you might have nightmares!!!<br />I never told MY children - but they came home from school having heard it [in an updated version which included mobile phones etc]<br /><br />I think there is some sort of 'race memory' that passes these things down through the generations.<br /><br />In this house 'the thing that goes bump in the night' is usually husband downstairs dropping large Bible when he is doing sermon prep in the wee small hours!!!!<br /><br />blessings xAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-73904961980905906052012-11-07T19:54:58.685-08:002012-11-07T19:54:58.685-08:00Happy Birthday to Will - he looks exactly like the...Happy Birthday to Will - he looks exactly like the cheekiness you describe in a cute package.<br /><br />So we don't have ghost stories. Probably because halloween isn't part of our culture. We do have urban legends about drop bears and bunyips that should be avoided at all costs, but no ghost stories. I think I'd probably spend a few nights having nightmares over them if we did!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-37212658209531823982012-11-07T19:47:22.631-08:002012-11-07T19:47:22.631-08:00Happy Birthday, Will.

Used to scare me to death listening to all those stories and especially those like what you describe with the call coming from inside the house. Freaky stuff!Leslie https://www.blogger.com/profile/11216448707277968516noreply@blogger.com
