Haunting (ghost) legends?

Question

Does anyone have an interesting haunting legend from their community, town, or city?

Answer 1

there was one captured on security camera around 3 years ago at famous London tourist site - Hampton Court, nicknamed "skeletor" after he-man character due to resemblence. interesting because the security guards...guys who are the type to normally laugh at such ideas...all said they saw this figure, which was definately not human

Answer 2

Nothing too too interesting, I have a ghost in my house (in my room actually.) She (my friend had a dream that it was a woman named Mary so I call her she) has never done anything outside of my bedroom. Once a while ago she moved my dresser in front of my door while I was at school. When I got home I couldn't get into my bedroom, I pushed and pushed and finally the door moved the dresser enough to see that it had been moved over a ways, enough to block the door. We had to shove the door so hard that it tilted the dresser over and a porclain doll I had in a stand fell and broke. My room is on the second floor and the window was locked from the inside... Over the years the tv will act up, the channel will change, the volume up and down, the VCR will record. (I've been in this house about 13 years now and I've had 2 TV sets and 2 or 3 VCR's) My mom always thought it was stuff I noticed when I was little (I'm 22 now) but it's been happening for years now. Also I get the feeling that I'm not alone sometime. Once or twice in the last year I woke up startled and I could feel someone watching me. Overall I'm not usually afraid of her, sometimes a little creeped out but she's never done anything make me think she will harm me. I don't know anything about her but I feel like maybe she is lost and needs a place to stay, I don't mind sharing my room with her.

I live in the county of Kent in England and we have a town called Pluckley, which is the most haunted town in Britain, a few months ago some friends and I decided to drive to Pluckley and stay overnight in a hotel, we took a camcorder and a dictaphone and we all settled in for the night, (We all shared the same room coz we were scared!) and we refused to sleep! About an hour after we got there we could hear a tapping at the window, so my mate Jack went and had a look but there was nothing there, no trees or anything, just as he turned round to tell us that there was nothing there, a chair that was in the corner that he had been sitting in was thrown accross the room. We refused to leave coz we're stupid, but nothing else happened for about 2 more hours until the lights started flashing and there was a loud scream from the bathroom, which was empty, the door handles started rattling and the bed started shaking and we checked out of the hotel and drove back to my house pretty damned quickly! Luckily we got it all on camera and dictaphone and when we watched it our family and friends were really freaked out that we managed to stay in there that long!!

Suposedly this road in Hagerstown, MD is suposed to be haunted by a hearse. It is said that a teenage couple was driving down the road and wanted to pull off to the side to make-out of course. Then they heard weird noises. So the guy got out of the car walked around, found nothing, got back in the car. His girlfriend was gone. Then he heard noises on the roof. So he got back out and there she was haning from the tree above the car. So all of the teenagers drive down this road and stop along the side of the road and get out, walk around the cemetery look at the disfigured tree and aparently if you wait long enough a hearse is suposed to follow you down the road and chase you out of the area. I never saw the hearse or heard noises. But creepy stuff did happen when my friends and I were driving down it. All of the automatic devices in the car went haywire. So my genius friend turns off the car. I felt like I was in a scary movie with a bunch of stupid people. YOU DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR CAR FOR ANYTHING!! Especially when it is acting up. And it wasn't an old vehicle either. It was only a couple years old. So I don't know what to believe about the ghost story of Miller's Church Rd.

Answer 5

This didn't happen to me, but to someone else. It may have even happened in your town.


Once there was a man named Trevor driving down an empty street in the middle of nowhere. It was night out, but worst of all it was storming and pouring down pretty bad. Then Trevor caught sight in the light of his headlights a young girl walking on the side of the road all alone in the rain. She had no umbrella, and she was drenched. Trevor pulled up beside the young girl and asked, "How far away is your house? I can give you a lift; you'll be out of the storm." She hesitated, but accepted his offer. "I thank you," she spoke shyly. "You must be soaked to the bone," he spoke with a smile. As they drove on, she told him to make a right a few miles down the road. Their conversation continued, and when Trevor reached the young woman's house, he said, "Hey, listen. How about meeting me for coffee or something tomorrow?" She nodded with a smile. "O-okay." Trevor smiled back, "I'll come by your house tomorrow. What's your name?" The girl replied, "It's Eleanor." Then she ran through the rain into the house and closed the door.

The next day the sun was out and the birds were singing peacefully. Trevor pulled up beside the girl's house and walked to the doorstep. But when he ranged the doorbell, an elderly lady opened the door. Trevor spoke, "Oh, um, excuse me, ma'am, but is Eleanor home?" The old woman frowned. "Eleanor?" "Uh, yes. She's a young girl that I met coming home a few miles down the road. Is she your granddaughter by any chance?" The elderly woman continued to frown, as if thinking back on something. Then a worried look crossed her face. "But...Eleanor was my daughter. She died twenty years ago in a car accident; you must have seen somebody else."

There's supposed to be a ghost in the Wainwright Hotel in Heritage Park in Calgary.

Answer 8

There's a poltergeist (is that spelled right?) in the Toys 'R Us near where I live.

I also know a really interesting LDS/Mormon ghost story that is true. But I don't want to spark any bonfires here...

Answer 9

my high school has this bridge that connects from the academic buildings to the football field. and i'm not sure if this is true or not, but i heard that many years ago somebody hung himself to death on that bridge and sometimes at night, when you pass by the bridge, you could still see the guy's ghost hanging there or you could hear him.
