So, I live in a place that is extremely haunted. I can count at least four apparitions. What I didn't count on was one of these ghosts getting me put under scrutiny.
To start off I live in an apartment adjoining the barn on the ranch where I work. I like it because it is quiet and I hear nothing but horses. Did I tell you I like horses? I also dig ghosts, so the fact that this place is haunted doesn't frighten me in the least.
Well, this morning, we had a couple on the ranch doing some work in exchange for boarding their horses here. I will call them Larry and Carrie. Well, Larry was in the main barn, Carrie was in the outer barn, and they were feeding and watering the horses. The time was approcimately six a.m.
I had awoke, as I always do when they show up, and started t drift back to sleep, when all of a sudden I hear Larry running, and yelling for his wife. I sat up and looked out the window, and Carrie comes out of the outer barn, wondering what her husband is excited about. He tells her that he heard a woman's voice screaming "Help me!" So I got dressed and went downstairs and asked Larry what he had heard, and he told me, and I remarked that the ranch is haunted and that is one of the things I hear on occasion, and to not be alarmed. I couldn't help but notice a strange look on his face as I turned and went back up to the apartment, but I dismissed it and laid back down.
At 7:30 I am awakened by a Kentucky State trooper who is telling me that he got a report of a woman in distress screaming on the property, and he wants to me to open every door. So I did. The officer was satisfied that no murder had taken place, and left.
Ten minutes later, Larry arrives and is apologizing profusely. He explained what he had heard and how it made him feel, because to him it sounded just like a real woman in distress. I then told him of what I had seen and heard here at the ranch since I started working here, and I told him not to worry about it, because if I were in his shoes I'd have done the same thing.
This place is haunted. I won't argue the point with anyone. All they have to do is stay a few days here, learn the noises the horses make, and they will begin to pick out the unnatural noises that I hear every night. They might even see the apparitions that I have seen.
Up until this morning, the most annoying ghost we had here is a man about five feet eight inches tall, and when he walks you can hear the sound of boot heels on the concrete. He walks the stalls every night, and wakes me up. I see him in the dim light that comes in through the windows, but only as a shadow, and when I turn on the lights, he is not there. I have had him within arms reach of me twice, and saw his silhouette both times but when i flicked the light on, again, he is not there.
So now we have the "Help me!" ghost. I've heard her twice before and both times have gone rushing around the property with a flashlight trying to find the woman in distress, to no avail.
Other ghosts include a singing woman, and children.
My ethereal playmates...
