GHOST IN THE WOODS

so here is the story as i know it

this whole story is what has sparked the history bug in me that i get from my dad to learn and research my area

ok here goes you all know i live in the woods-this is an old tree farm/forest but long before that it was called Old Ebenezer

which was a settlement of Salzberg Germany protestants who came here for religious freedom. the river that they talk about on the historical marker is what my creek is

i am getting to the ghost calm down

ok so they moved here and had it rough .from what i read out of the journal of the pastor,lots of deaths from snake bites, consumptive disease,protracted disease, scurvy and dropsy .along with tons of young children either newborns or under 10 -pages and pages of death records.

one family named Rahn (real big in the area even today)had a 3 years old die on 3-26-1756 and then a 8 day old on 4-16-1756 .the area was not good for crops ect and alot of them were starving .

ok so now this brings me to the ghost
man you are the pushy one

the Hobby girls have hammocks in their woods/backyard and the older one got real spooked and told her daddy that there was a little girl with dark hair out there just staring at her and she really scared her she wouldn't go away .so he goes to look because little girls in the woods alone is just not a good idea .

there was nothing there .he told her no it was just shadows or your imagination its ok .she let it go .

so a day or so later he had his 4 year old niece in the woods with him and she told him that" that little girl really scared her she just kept looking at her .he said no honey there is nothing there it is ok .she insisted that she was not a nice girl and she made him stop what he was doing to take her out of the woods - she was real bothered by it and would not let it go .

well the moms of these two were talking and it came up and they asked the girls about it at the same time in two different houses -and the older girl said she had long dark hair and a long white dress and just stared at her but that daddy said it was not real .the four year old described her the exact same way except said she was all white(pale) like a vampire. and that she was not her friend and she really scared her

now there are times at night that my dogs really really need to go outside but they will stop short and turn tail back inside and we have to drag them out,then there are time that there is a critter in the woods and they charge out .but now that i have heard about this little girl i have to wounder if it is her that makes them not want to go out .also big C says that he has had lots of times that he is outside at night smoking and swears that he sees or hears something but when he looks in that direction there is nothing

so being the good catholic girl that i am i was in the woods TODAY( in the sunshine) with my Holy water blessing the woods and praying .much to the enjoyment and amusement of big C .so i hope that this works .cause if i see this little girl -sad little lost soul or not my big ol chicken butt is running to Texas to hide in my Mommy's bed leaving Georgia long behind

so don't go into the woods tonight
