Well, it was long a planned out trip, and where I first went wrong was having around 7-8 people with me. We met up at a local grocery store and took 2 car for a 59 minute drive to Chapel Hill. I'd say we left sometime around 10:30, so we arrived at the tracks around 11:15-11:25. If you go to the right crossing, you will go through a wooded area and arrive at a seemingly dead end. Chapel Hill was very lively, unlike it seems. We had to turn around and park on the side of the road, so once we got out we had 4 flashlights and walked about 150 yards to the tracks itself, and as soon as we arrived, all four of the flashlights died. They were old, cheap flashlights, so maybe they just died from use, or something else caused them to just die. We then took out our cell phones and noticed across from the tracks there was a 6 ft wooden cross. It was very eerie sight to say the least. I did some research and found nothing saying why it was there. After about 5 minutes of deciding what to do, we split into two groups of 4 people and each went our different way. I, as the one who gathered everyone to go, lead one group up the tracks and my buddy lead the other group the opposite way. After about 15 minutes of walking that way, we turned around and went the way the other group went, and they went the way we had previously went. After an hour of walking and seeing nothing, zip, zada, zilch, my group and the other group meet up at the original track crossing. It's about 12:30 AM at this point, and for a brief break we see a strong light shining bright, staying in the middle of the tracks. I want to believe that it's the "ghost light" but too many accounts say the light "bobs" across the tracks and vanishes. We stay there on the tracks and notice it keeps getting bigger, but then hear the train whistle way off in the distance and realize it's a train 5 minutes away. We relax and let it pass, which was pretty cool considering we were very close to a train. I about decided to throw in the flag and go home. My friend, who was still wanting to stay, convinced me to walk up the tracks with him and the other guys. So I agree and walk up the tracks for about 10 minutes. I remember checking my iPhone at 12:57 and telling him I'm ready to go, so we turn around and stop. We see the orange light "bobbing" across the tracks, over and back, and continued to move closer in distance for about 5 seconds. It then suddenly vanished. We walked back up the tracks and didn't see anything else. So for about 2 hours of being there, It only lasted for 5 seconds. I don't know what it was, but I know what I saw. It fit the detail of the "ghost light" perfectly. I will definitely be going back soon to conclude this, but I know I saw something.

Can't remember if I posted in this thread but I have seen a ghost or spirit or whatever.
At the end of the bed. Older lady with long hair. Felt a chill, sat up, saw it, gasped and felt like my heart dropped, tried to slowly wake up my wife and it went away.
Haven't seen it since.

I never heard voices in the house I grew up in, but I know something was going on there. When I was a little kid i had a toy piano and one night while my whole family was sitting in the living room it just randomly started playing. this wasn't a keyboard with tunes prerecorded, this was a toy upright western style piano that only made noises when the keys were pressed. The keys were moving and everything. My sister claims that one day while she was home alone several, several years later that the actual piano we had in the house started playing.

Other incidences include the fact that you constantly, at all hours of the night can hear doors shut. My parents remodeled the house into a two story house and moved the main doors of the house around, and it was something that had been done before (the house was an old farmhouse and is at least 120 years old (as verified by the fact that I found newspaper used as insulation from 1888 when we installed wooden floors). What was now my parents' closet had at one time been a door to the outside. Several times it sounded like that door was shutting, but it couldn't be open or shut when it was remodeled. One of the remodeling jobs my parents were responsible for totally removed a door from the front porch to the kitchen, but you could hear that door shutting all the time too.

The freakiest part though was that when my parents added the upstairs, my new bedroom was connected to what was supposed to be a playroom for my sister and I. It never got finished, never even had access to heat and/or air. In the summer the room would get really hot, but every other night or so the door would creak open and if you stood beside it the first thing you felt was a wave of cold air. Now I'll admit that occasionally if you slammed one of the doors downstairs too hard, it would cause the door to open, but in those instances you didn't feel the cold air. And it would just kind of barely open. The "supernatural" instances if you will, the door would open about halfway and again, you'd first be greeted the cold air.

We also heard footsteps going up and down the stairs a lot. I can't tell you why this happened or if it was a ghost or not, but I promise I'm not making any of the above up.

And, on a different note, my grandfather (who passed away when my dad was 11 from a tractor accident) supposedly haunts an old frat house at ETSU where he was a sponsor. My grandfather was also a professor at ETSU.

No, it's not that one, although I've heard of that one too. That one somehow got the name Edward.

Interesting. I love that site I cited. Will have to check out other places on there. Do you know of any other places?

A few weeks ago we lost a great puppy to an accident. It hurt our family and my kids badly. He had been a bright light for us. It happened on Valentines eve. A week later and on the 3rd anniversary of my dads passing, a big ass white dove showed up on the gate by my car. I haven't seen a white dove here in 15 years. I ran an errand, came back and didn't see it. Later I looked outside and it was sitting under the dryer vent to stay warm. I took stevies cage out there that even still had his toys in it. The dove walked in it and I closed it. The dove spent the night sleeping easily, even with my chocolate lab going crazy.
The next morning was sunny and warmer. I took the cage outside, opened it up, and he flew off.
There is no doubt in my mind that a spirit of some sort was involved. And I don't care if people think I'm a fool to think so.
We rescued a new puppy the next morning that came into our home feeble, scared, malnourished and just a little runt that weighed 3 lbs at 12 weeks.
There is no doubt in my house that the dove came in and left Stevies spirit in our home and the new pup, Lenny, is big, strong, healthy and happy as he could be.

I think my dad my have called in a favor and made it happen somehow.

It is definitely a possibility. What about you seeing something at the end of your bed?

That was @ 12 years ago about a week at our new house. I've never been frozen still but was in an absolute petrified state for about 10 seconds, then moved to wake up my wife and the lady vanished.
I laughed at people who talked about ghosts until that night.

Rocky Top Vol, I'd like to hear what else you got. That was a good story.

Oh yeah. Most definitely. The story of the decapitation of the railroad worker is real. It was one of my good friends great uncles. It is not a lantern and he is not "looking for his head" as the legend goes. But it is definitely a glowing orb of light/energy that follows you and disperses before getting too close.

I had just went to bed and been in bed about 30 minutes trying to fall asleep my bedroom was pitch dark. As I laid there I felt a bump at the foot of my bed, as if someone standing there had drove their knee into the mattress sharply. Just as I was about to decide I was imagining things it happened again this time harder. I just pretended to be asleep and ignored it, it never happened again. This happened about 1975, I was about 13.

So it's the man? Explain the truth of this story. I plan to go back soon.

I didn't read the whole thread so it may have already been mentioned.

I grew up in Robertson County really close to Adams TN.

Bell Witch still scares me.

That's all I'm gonna say about it.
