That story was pretty scary if I were the little boy I would of had a heart attack.

Seems like a very nice old lady in my opinion, somewhat the same thing happend to my daughter, but it was an old man with a cat.

I would tell that nice old lady thank you and to give me cookies with that glass of milk if I was that little boy.

yeh, but i would of eaten the cookies and THEN had the heart atack if i was the little boy.

STOP IT….. cookies arnt the main part of the story
and this is not a joke. my mision in life is to so a ghost i know that might sound looney but would you like to see a ghost ?

I would love to see a ghost that you know. I know a few around my house/outside area, but I’ve never had the chance to take a picture of any of them, and I would never impose such a thing without consulting alout with them first. Please show me what you have. you can email it to me if you want…

This is so cute. we used to have a ghost in our house. i think we have on in this house too. its actually scary if you think about it because most ghost don’t know they are dead. but i think it is facinattuing. of course i wouldn’t want to see one of anything for myself. i see the shadows in the hall way here and i think it talked to me yesterday and i cried but.. never really SEEN his face. my boyfriend is into ghost and he likes to go ghost hunting. i don’t know.

This story is one example where someone doesn’t die, or freak out. Well done!

This reminds me of an incident when I was a kid, maybe 6 or 7 years old. I was hanging out with my cousin at her grandma’s house and we decided to take ourselves for a little walk. Not smart, as they lived on a very busy road, but that’s beside the point…

Up the road maybe 1/10 of a mile was this really old house; it has since been demolished but I’d place it to be around 150 years old at that time. Well as we were walking past the house, this little old lady was on the porch and asked us to come inside for milk and cookies…being little kids, we jumped right to it. Had quite a nice time with her too, as I recall.

When we finally got back to my cousin’s grandma’s house (who of course was beside herself worrying about where we’d disappeared to) and told her where we had been, she called us outright liars because that old lady had died several years prior to this incident.

Over the next several years I started to think I just didn’t remember what had happened correctly; childhood memories often get mixed up over time. One day I finally thought to ask my cousin’s grandma if she remembered that day…which she definitely did and retold to me exactly the way I had remembered it. She was even still ticked off about us wandering down the road by ourselves and “lying” to her! LOL

After this I started asking around about the house and the old lady and heard quite a few stories about people needing to go into the house for one reason or another and having strange things happen. Some of the older people in town remembered the lady quite well and told me how nice she was, loved children, etc. I would have loved to visit with her again; unfortunately by the time I was old enough to go back on my own the house had already been torn down.

Wonderful story, miz Sarah, I thank thee for that.

I have expirienced same kind of phenomenon in my life too. It was an older lady too, who had a farm in the middle of the forrest. I visited her few times and when I last time visited there, she said it was nice of me to come. It was nice, that someone remebered her. next time I went there, I found only the skeleton of an old house. The old lady was there no more. And the truth is, that nobody really did not remember her when I asked about her. They knew that there had lived a woman in the forrest, but they did not knew who she was. I too never got her name, but nowday’s I call her Lemmikki, as the name of a flower. In english it is the same as Forget-me-not. I was some how a little bit scared, but still, sometimes I still go there to give my greetings to her. Not very often, but when I am nearby the place. Just for that she would not be forgotten.

this just goes to prove ghosts are not all bad

that is a very sweet old lady

Well we all know how little kids can come up with **** or how they all say dat they seen this or they seen that, but I am 14 years old and I miself have experienced some spiritual things happen to me and my family! I really do believe in ghosts but noone really knows if it is just our imagination or if we just conjure these things up in our minds and beleive what we want too! But this story was pretty good! It made me wanna keep reading! and just to let everyone know, “ghosts CANNOT hurt you themselves, but they can make u hurt yourself! They can drive u insane or make u run and fall but I just don’t think that a ghost will come back just to kill you or choke u or any of this nonsense u dumb Asses come up wid! and if u truley believe they can hurt you, then PROVE IT! gangstabitch4life14@yahoo.com

It sounds interesting . . .

I Would glad to have the Cookies and Milk
Whats important is that We suppose to treat each other

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GHOSTS!

Hey I live in Salem Va, if anyone knows the address of this place please let me know, I’d love to check it out.

well yah i do belive in ghost…duh!! its scray..hehe

I also live in Salem VA. I first heard about this story when reading a book-Ghost in Virgina. I’m not sure if this was the complete title of the book and I am not sure who the author is,however I got the book when I took a ghost tour in Williamsburg VA during the early 1990. I lost the book. HOwever it did have the address listed as Union ST. The house number was also listed however I am I don’t recall the house number. If you find out please let me know.

well to tell you the truth about all of you, this is your fact of your ways to say you have experience yourselves inwhat you have seen. I do believe in ghosts myself since I see them quite often. I have the sense to see this spirits and some are good and some are not they can also harm you in any different way they can possible get your attention, since they think they are not dead. The bottom line is for experience here, one is don’t film the dead. they don’t like that, I experienced it myself since i thought i could catch the dead in film, I for myself had a broken hand, fractured leg and i had a deep cut from my thigh all to the way to the top. so i advise you don’t try it yourselves you’ll get seriasly hurt or killed for going beyond.

‘Come on, Marta,’ I thought. ‘Eat the goddamn cornbread.’ She only had a few bites left, and if she didn’t finish those last few crumbs, her mother wouldn’t let us dance in the rain.
