I imagine every town has it's own ghost story. I would love to hear about your local ghost. Where I live we have one told most. It's about a lady who lost her husband. When that happened she only had her daughter. She became overprotective and never let her out of her sight, except for school. When her daughter got older she begged to go to a dance. Reluctantly she let her go, but set a strict curfew. The daughter was late leaving the dance so she sped to get home. In her haste she ran into a tree. Her mom was so sad she spent all her time at her daughters grave. One day she carved a tree stump into a chair by the grave. She eventually died but never stopped visiting the grave. Many have claimed to have seen her ghost. I have visited the grave many times, but never saw her. On Halloween it is the hotspot for the town. The graveyard is in the forestry so that adds to the spooky atmosphere. Now that you've read about my local ghost, how bout sharing your story?

Our town has its spooky story too. On a place where an old Spanish house used to stand, people say they see a headless priest walking around. The priest they say was killed by the Japanese during the war, cut it's head and burried it in the basement of the old Spanish house.Old people of our town say the priest is still searching for its head that's why people can still see him loitering around the place where the old house used to be. This palce is being avoided specially by young lovers who meet in the dark and the town's young people when they go out at night.

the scariest story that you here where i live is about this school. the name of it is "school 4" because it was the 4th school in the city. the story was that many many years ago when the school was open the janitor that worked there raped and killed a bunch of kids and put them in the air vent. well the school was closed down after that and to this day they have never torn it down. its old and scary looking, and now bums live in there. but you can go jump the fence and go in there and theres like desk and papers that were from like 1950 its so crazy.
