David In Indy:
I think there are some ghosts loose in this thread! :(

David In Indy:
Those ghosts had better stay away from me.

I don't play that. >:(


Here's another one!


CRY-WOMAN'S BRIDGE

Dublin, Indiana


The town of Dublin is located in east central Indiana, lying peacefully along Highway 40. There was once a bridge that stood on Heacock Road, southeast of Dublin, that was known to residents as "Cry-Woman's Bridge". The bridge is gone now, but it's ghostly reputation still lingers.

The bridge is named after a woman who died here many years ago in an auto accident. She lost control of her car on a stormy night and it plunged from the entrance to the bridge and into the river below. Searchers found her body in the wreckage and they also found a baby's blanket and a pacifier in the car.... although there was no sign of the infant's body.

Shortly after the fatal accident, the ghost of the woman was seen on the bridge on rainy and foggy nights. She was said to wander back and forth, crying and moaning and begging aloud for someone to help her find her baby.

A young couple who were parked near the bridge one night encountered the woman and heard her scratching on the trunk of their car. They left the scene and later discovered deep scratches in the automobile's paint.

Dublin, Indiana is east of Indianapolis on Highway 40. The bridge is gone now but Heacock Road runs parallel of Highway 40 outside of town.

David In Indy:
With all the death and destruction that happened in Gettysburg during the Civil War, there's little wonder why the town is so haunted more than 150 years later. :(

The Many Ghosts of Gettysburg

Gettysburg, Penn. is one of the most haunted areas in the United States. During its three days of intense battle ending on July 3, 1863, more than 7,800 brave Union and Confederate soldiers lost their lives, and tens of thousands more were wounded and crippled. It’s no wonder that hundreds upon hundreds of ghosts have been sighted and haunting activity experienced at this National Military Park. Here is but a small sampling of ghost encounters people have had at Gettysburg.

injest:
In Edgar Allan Poe's 1838 story, "The Narrative Of Arthur Gordon Pym Of Nantucket," three starving shipwreck survivors murder and consume their companion, named Richard Parker. In 1884, three real-life shipwrecked sailors were tried for the murder of the fourth sailor. His name was also Richard Parker and he was also eaten.

David In Indy:
Kind of like the Donner Party. Or that airplane crash in the Andes Mountains. Except in those cases the people they ate were already dead. :(

Eww that's really creepy! That's even worse than the information you posted about the man wishing to strangle people sitting next to him in the movie theater. :o
