Ghosting Miranda II

The figure was completely black, almost like a black hole, a thick and inky nothingness, but still molded in the figure of a man.I didn’t know who or what it was, but he looked slightly familiar, as if he were someone I should instinctively know. As the realization set in, I remember being so afraid that I couldn’t make a sound. Until the Dark figure moved away from me. I tried to explain what had happen that day, but no one believed me.”What ever it was I knew it was coming for me.” I told my friends and they just laughed.I told my parents they said , it was only a nightmare. I tried to explain that I was wide awake. I had not fallen a sleep yet. What I saw was very real. Still, no matter what I said, they just wouldn’t believe me. I kept looking out of the window, waiting for him to make another appearance, but the manly shaped figure never did. I began to think maybe they were right. I was really sensitive then. I was also exploring in the world of drugs. What did I know? Maybe the drugs made me hallucinate. In truth I do not believe that. I believe it was something. What it was?  I do not know. Why I saw it? I do not know. Will I ever see it again? There is a possibility. So, I started thinking about that apparition the other night. That is why I am writing this. What had made me believe that the strange apparition was after me? I thought about it for awhile. I still can’t come up with a reason. Maybe one day that strange dark figure will come for me again. Perhaps it will lead me to the cross roads of life and death.

                    There is another place in Indiana that the people say is haunted. It is located just off of state road 6 of Butler. The story goes like this. Sometime during the 1900’s Gypsies use to stay around the Indiana and Ohio line. One day the Gypsies kidnaped a daughter from a farmer. She was taken to a dark and wooded area.There the young girl was raped. The farmers heard what had happened to the young girl. They decided to take revenge against the gypsies. The farmers all got together, and went to the place where the Gypsies lived. One by One the farmers killed them all.  Slowly in a time span of 10 years. 10 farmers were murdered. They were cut up by an ax and dragged to a dark wooded area. Some say it was the return of the gypsies. They returned to get even with the farmers who slaughtered them.The gypsies still haunt this woods. Some will warn you to stay away from this area. Many things has happen there. What ever you do. Don’t park your car. Don’t stop to explore.  Keep driving on. While you are driving listen carefully. You may hear the Screams of agony from the people of long ago.  

                  In 1896 there was a family known as the Otto’s. Mr and Mrs Otto was very well known for not treating their servants very well. They often were mistreated. One servant used to take care of the couples son Gene. This servant used to practice a magic called  voodoo. One day the servant grew very angry at the Otto’s so she made a little doll. The doll was three feet tall and stuffed with straw. When she was done making the doll she gave the little item to Gene. Gene fell in love with the doll and named it Robert.                  The boy took Robert every where. Soon Gene started to have conversations with the doll. Mr and Mrs Otto became worried about their son, because sometimes they heard their son speak in two different voices. Then strange things started to happen within the house. Sometimes even the neighbors had witness some strange events. When the Otto’s were out of town, the neighbors witness the doll appearing in different windows of the house.      Soon Gene started to blame the doll, for doing mischievous things. One day Mr and Mrs Otto heard the doll giggling, and cussing up a storm as it ran through the house. Pretty soon Gene began to have nightmares and scream in the middle of the night. Mr and Mrs Otto would run to their sons room and discover the furniture flipped over and in total disarray. The doll was sitting at the end of the child’s bed as if it had done nothing. The doll was eventually put up in the attic, and there it remained for years to come.                   Gene’s parents had passed away and the house soon became Gene’s. One day poking around the attic Gene had discovered his old doll Robert. Once again the doll started to have some influence over Gene. Gene’s wife also became weary of the doll. She often claim to have felt the doll staring at her. She sensed that something was wrong with the doll, so she picked the doll up an threw it back into the attic. Gene was so upset by this.  He even told his wife all that Robert wanted was his own separate room with a window.  Soon people started to speak about the doll once more. They would claim to have seen the doll peering out the window and making faces at them. Children would walk clear out of their way just to avoid the house. Gene one day grew tired and frustrated at the doll and took it back up to the attic, but Robert had other ideas. Gene eventually died in 1972, and a new family moved into the home. One day a ten year old girl discovered Robert sitting in a rocking chair by a window. Like Gene she fell in love with the doll and carried it every where. One day the doll became unhappy and displeased at the little girl. Later on the girl told people that the doll actually wanted to kill her.  Some how the doll wounded up at the Key west Martello Muesum. Sometimes you can hear  Robert the doll getting himself into mischief while the echos of giggling floating through out the halls.                                               

     There is a small town in Indiana that goes by the name of Brazil. It is said if you go north on the main street you will wind up going through the town. Eventually you will find yourself going over an overpass. Keep driving your car until you come up on 1500 road. When you reach the road turn left. If you keep going on that road you will soon come upon an old train tunnel. If you are not scared or feeling creeped out, stop your car. Then flash your lights three times. Slowly roll your car through the tunnel and turn around. Then go through the tunnel again this time, you must stop in the middle of the tunnel. Shut the car off and sit a good 10 minutes. Look at the sides of the tunnel, notice the walls are vandalized with graffiti. Soon the graffiti starts to glow as if a light is coming through. Blood will slowly start to ooze out of the wall and form your name. While this fearful event happens, you will hear the sounds of something hitting your windows and roof. What ever you do, don’t get out. The noise will all of a sudden stop. When the sounds abruptly stops, start your car again and drive out of the tunnel. When you drive out of the tunnel there is a tree. On that tree you will noticed the bodies of two children hanging. What ever you do, do not stop for the story goes you are sure to die. There are seven more bridges on Coal Bluff Road . When you go over the last bridge turn around in your seats and look back. Then you will be able to see the Hell’s Gate closing.    Hamilton road is one of the most haunted roads in Indiana. Not everyone knows of this road though. Go on road 38 straight through Mulberry and look for an old secluded road named 900 west. Eventually you come upon a stop sign and that is where Hamilton road is located. Like most haunted stories there are three main bridges. On the   third bridge stop your car Turn the lights on your car four times in a row. When you finished flashing your lights slowly drive forward. Then take a peek in your review mirror, and you shall see a short man chasing after you. If you go a little further about 50 feet. You will see an old graveyard. Drive back into the grave yard and park your car as far back as you possibly can. Slowly get out of your car and walk along the fence. Soon you will be able to see an apparition that looks like flames reaching out of the woods. In the 1800’s there was an old church built upon that spot. The church caught on fire and unfortunately, those who were in the building perished along with the left over embers.   Leave the grounds around midnight and drive to the old train tracks. Stop your car in the middle of the abandon tracks. Quietly get out of your car and sprinkle your back bumper with a powdery substance. Hurry up and get back into your car. Soon you will hear the train blow its horn its bright lights will shine blinding you for a split second. All of the sudden the train disappears. If you are not too freaked out yet slowly get out of your car and look at the back bumper. You will see the finger prints of Danny.  Danny was a young boy who had lost his life on those tracts in the 1900’s. It is said no one ever lost there life on those tracks again.

In Fort Wayne Indiana on Cedar Canyons Road, there is a story to tell. On a hill side there is a structure of a chimney. Many times the police were called to  this  site. It is where people would practice their satanic rituals. This satanic  group use to hold rituals  sacrificing  pigs and  goats. It is  said if You go upon the hill at midnight, you would be-able to sense the presence of a womanly ghost. Her presence seems to be more noticeable  while the moon is full showering its light upon the area. The way the story is passed down the woman lived in a house that  was  standing there. She was  constantly  harassed by a group of  teenagers. One  day she confided in her  friend. She told this  friend about the teenagers, always  breaking things on her property. They would even sneak up toward the house to peek into the windows at night. These teenagers would spread rumors about this  lady  who lived  on the hill. They would tell people she was a witch, and that  she was  evil. Sometime in the 80’s a group of  teenagers payed another visit to  the woman. What happen next was a terrifying ordeal. The  teenagers   started a fire and while the  woman fought  desperately to get out her house, the teenagers blocked her. They refused to let her leave. Slowly and painfully  the woman’s  screams  drowned through out the night as she was burnt alive. It is  said  that the  cops have never closed the  case of the mysterious  death. The  teenagers  some how  disappeared and never returned.  Some  say  the woman had her revenge.
