"gather round"
when i was in first grade, i had a sleepover with my friend emily. her parents had to go to a scouting ceremony with her older brother at the church next door...so they left emily and i home alone for a couple hours.
while they were gone, the phone rang. emily answered it it.
"hello?"
"meet me at the corner at twelve o'clock"
click.
emily came back to where we were watching TV and eating popcorn/peanut butter in the front room. she looked as white as a ghost. she told me what happened and what the old lady said on the other end of the phone.
a few moments later, the phone rang again. emily refused to answer it, but as a 7 year old girl, there was nothing i enjoyed doing more than answer the phone. i jumped up and grabbed it.
"hello?"
"little girl, make that eleven o'clock instead"
click.
emily was by my side and gave me that 'i told you so look' she was famous for. we were petrified! emily's bedroom looked out on the corner of ruflin and 8th.
her parents came home shortly afterwards. of course they didn't believe two 7 year old girls....but i swear to this day it's true.
we went to bed around 10 and stayed awake waiting and watching the corner. at eleven o'clock, there stood an old lady with a scarf over her head, in a long jacket, she was holding a plastic grocery sack. we ran to get her dad, to somehow protect us....we came back into the room to show him what was out the window and the lady was gone.
to this day, no one believes us, but i know what i saw that night.
have you ever seen a ghost?
