I met some people who told an amazing story. They swear it is true. I know some of it is but not sure about the rest. It was a normal morning. A mother took her little girl outside. A neighbor girl the same age joined them. The mother went inside to get a snack. The neighbor child heard her mother calling and went home next door. A drunk driver picked that moment to jump the curb, plow down a fence, and mow down a hedge. His car landed on the child sitting at a table. She died instantly. It was 10 am. The people I met went on to explain that when you pass that house at 10 am, you can hear a child screaming. They had no way of knowing that I personally knew this mother and grieved with her in her tragedy. I have never heard screaming coming from that corner. What do you think? Is it possible that the little one still haunts that tragic place?

I guess it is possible, but I still hope that she is in a better place.

I am sure she is. Since we are close to Halloween, I thought it was a good month to tell this story. It has been bothering me for years.

@akalinus I can imagine that it'd be on your mind. October is definitely a good time to tell this story.

@dodo19 It is a very sad story. This is the first time I have told it online.

I seriously doubt it. Our minds have a way of imagining things so well that they become "real" to us.

Like I said, I never heard it. Others swore that they did.

Very haunting indeed. Poor kid. I hope the stupid drunk driver got caught and is paying dearly for this crime.

@DanieGirl80587 I'm sure he must have gotten jail time. At least, I hope he did.

I don't think the child is still there....i believe a child's sole will always find peace.

I think so, too. But is it left over energy from this accident site? A child is innocent.

@ms1864 Probably. And you are right about the energies. I hope whoever lives there is not disturbed by what happened there. They probably don't even know.

But someone probably lives there now right? Old energies would be replaced by new ones.

Even I have heard such stories, and many have even expressed the terrific facial expression when saying it. So, this made me quiet think that maybe its true. But this same thing goes with the concept of God. You know, you can never know whether they actually exist or not until you experience. And once you experience, no one believes. If anyone believes, no one could understand the depth.

I wonder if they really heard it or just wanted to hear it because they heard the story.

@akalinus .. Those who heard it should be tested for their auditory abilities...supersonic and subsonic..

@vandana7 It was a long time ago. I don't remember who the people were, I just remember that they told me the story and did not know that I knew the family.

It could be entirely possible, but I'm pretty sure she is in a better place now.

Poor kid is an innocent victim of another person's (drunk driver) bad decision. It is not the parent's fault or anyone else's fault, just the drunk.

While I don't know if they actually hear a little girl or not, but there's so many weird things that can't be explained, and I've heard things like that happening many of times (hauntings and what not).

The world is full of unknown and mysterious things. That, we can all agree on.
