Ghost Stories.

[HailSkatan]

Since there's still no Paranormal Section on here..
Anyone have any good ghost stories, or anything of that matter that has happened to them?
I don't really have any good ones, and I'm still a little tiny bit skeptical, but my one and only expirence with a ghost enconter would be when I stayed at Hotel Colorado, up in Glenwood when I was a little kid. Of course with my luck, I didnt see anything, but I had a strange unexplainable "feeling" the whole time. If anyone is familiar with the hotel, we stayed in the Bell Tower suite, one of the "haunted" rooms. The only other occurence that happened was..that the room was stenched with cigar smoke. Sounds like nothing out of the ordinary, huh? But..we were on the very top, no one was in the tower next to us, and no guests were on the floor below us. It was pretty much like if we were sitting next to someone smoking a really strong cigar. I later looked up the situation out of curiousity, and there were many reports of strong cigar smells, out of nowhere in the room. There was even a report of a ghost sitting on the bed smoking, then vanishing.
Nothing too cool or too scary, just my expirence with a "ghost encounter".

Now it's your turn..

First: One night I was driving back home and it was late evening. To lay the scene, it was dark, and I was driving through a residential neighborhood. Ahead of me, the road goes up a mid-size hill and then levels out, and there is a car about 1/4 mile ahead of me. Anyways, I&#39;m watching the car ahead of me, and I see someone walk across the street right behind him at about the middle of the hill (well, I saw something move between me and his tail lights). So I think to myself "Alright, there is someone out here walking around, keep an eye out for them." When I get to about where the other car was when I saw someone move behind him, there is a man standing on the side of the road. As I approach him, he is standing up straight and tall, except his head is facing straight down (like he&#39;s touching his chin to his collar bone). Just as I pass him, his head snaps forward in a cold and inhuman way, and at that exact moment he starts to walk across the street. I&#39;m still thinking this might be some punk playing jokes, so I get to the next block, shoot a U and come back to have words with him, but in that 15-20 seconds, he&#39;s vanished into thin air....

and second: I work in a bakery. We have on guy who works there as a delivery driver who is a real supernatural expert sort of guy. He&#39;d always tell me about ghosts and demons and blah blah blah and I&#39;d always just humor him and listen. So the other night, I&#39;m covering one of our routes and he&#39;s doing the other one. He gets all hist stuff loaded up, leaves, and I&#39;m there finishing loading my van. With a couple bags left on the table, I walk across our bakery, turn the lights off, and walk back to our back door. Just as I&#39;m putting my last bag in the back of the van, I hear an unnatural sort of mechanical growl. At first I figure maybe it&#39;s one of our refrigerators and just as I glance into our bakery to see if I see anything (turning my head to the right) now the sound is just off to my left. The fact that doors open and close on their own and footsteps that don&#39;t have feet, but now I hear something more unsettling than the other sounds we put up with. So I get in the van, call my other driver, and start to calmly head out to my first delivery. As I&#39;m talking to him, and now probably 1/2 mile from the bakery, he asks "What did it sound like?" Just after he asks, he does a perfect impression of it. As I&#39;m saying "Yeah, thats what it sounded like," all I can is some static, and then him asking if I&#39;m still there. So I repeat that that was what it had sounded like... Turns out he didn&#39;t hear nor make the sound. He&#39;d driven through a dead-spot and had not service at the time. It dawned on me that the sound was way to clear to come through the phone, but it surely came out of the phone. Anyways, at this point he&#39;s telling me that "well, you&#39;ve allowed it to follow you" and on and on.... lets just say that was a creepy night of work...
