This week’s tale was posted on the submission page by Candice Milkwayer of Mason, Arizona. She has titled this one Gary The Ghost.

Hi everyone! Just want to start this off by saying I am a skeptic, or at least was until a couple of years ago. I had just gotten with my boyfriend. I was staying over and I heard some tapping right next to me. I asked him if he had a ghost to which he responded, “Oh no, why what’s happened?” 

However, he had many different experiences which he previously had not made me aware of. Skip forward a few months and we were married. We decided to live in his place, and it has been anything but spiritually quiet. There’s random noises, and someone keeps walking up/down the stairs at night.

I set up a desk in our spare bedroom for my work, and on the top shelf I placed two bobble heads that we got made of ourselves. I placed them central, facing me. One day, I went downstairs for lunch, and when I came back, my bobble head was on the other side of the shelf, facing the wall. I might point out I was totally alone in the house. My first thought was that this ghost doesn’t like me. It was then we began referring to our guest as “Gary”.

The next event is a really weird one. My husband has seen “Gary” in the night as a dark silhouette. I hadn’t. That was until I felt like I had been woken up, opened my eyes, and saw a silhouette by my side of the bed. I frantically shook my husband who woke and could also see it. The creature started to move towards me and it waggled its finger at me. It wasn’t clearly defined, but I am pretty sure it was the middle finger. I am absolutely freaking out now. Everything I have read says shadow men means bad.

We asked for help from the pastor of a church. He came over, but refused to bless the home. He said that doing so went against his beliefs. As he was about to leave his hat came flying off the table and hit him in the face. He ran out of there and we never heard from him again.

Strange things keep happening. Books fall off the shelves, keys get lost, and even our dog has barking fits  at things we just can’t see. My husband is looking into finding someone to come speak to Gary but I don’t know if that’d just upset it more? Ron, do you have any thoughts? – Candice Milkwayer

Well I am in agreement with your husband. Finding someone to come talk to Gary makes a whole lot of sense. I have heard of things like this before and they seem to just stop on their own. However, being proactive might be best for you and Gary too. Thank you for sharing your story.

I am pretty sure that I have mentioned that I love a good train ride. This story comes from Jessica McCormack who lives in Edgartown, Massachusetts. Her train ride was the stuff of nightmares and might not be as fun as traveling across the country on Amtrak. Jessica has titled her story, The Train Whistle

Hello Ron. If I remember right you love strange stories and I have one for you. This took place when I was a Junior or Sophomore in high-school. Growing up I lived in a small farm town that has been around since the early 1800s. There are tons of grave sites and corn fields.

One summer evening my friend and I were riding our bikes down a trail and stumbled upon a gated graveyard that was surrounded by  forest. There were no houses or train tracks for quite a few miles. We went into it to see if we knew any names. The oldest grave dated back to the late 1700s and the youngest was 1920. The names on the grave sites were all similar so we assumed it was a private family cemetery.

As we continued to explore I felt very uneasy as if I was disturbing the peace of the area. Next thing you know we hear three distinct whistle blows. Like from a child’s train whistle that you would buy at a native American trading post, or a nick-nack store in a touristy area. The whistle was coming from the forest and kept getting closer to us, always coming in 3s. “Choo choo choo” After hearing the sound approaching we hightailed it out of there.

We hopped back on bikes and started back down the trail. The whistle kept following us and the further we got away the more intense it became. By that I mean it was sounding more and more like a real train. We finally broke out off the trail and the sounds just stopped.

I have no idea what was making those sounds. We were not near a train track or play ground for that matter. The only explanation I have is that someone was waiting in the forest for another person to come by to scare them or it was some ghost child messing around. I will leave that up to you. – Jessica McCormack

Well Jessica, that is a pretty freaky story! I have a feeling that it wasn’t anyone waiting around for a joke. But I have no idea what it was. I do know that train sounds and whistles are a good source of some great paranormal stories. Thank you for your tale.
