My parents were renting a spot in an old building in their town, (it was an odds and ends store). Anyway, one day my dad was closing up and he was the only one in the back of the store, (my SIL and niece had walked out the front door a few minutes before). He heard a noise towards the back door, turned around, and there was a lady standing there. He started walking towards her to see who she was, then stopped when he got about 10 ft away from her. She waved, then walked through the back door.

Now for the really freaky part... there's an old bar directly behind the store and the owner told my dad about Sarah. She owned the bar in the early 1920's, (IIRC) and she had died in the bar. Anyway, a lot of the people that have gone to the establishment over the years have "seen" her.

When I was in KS a month or so ago, we went to the bar. Before anyone asks, no, I didn't see her. However, I did see a picture of her and it gave me the heebie-jeebies. LMAO

Oh, and she was kind of hot. I figured that I would get that out of the way before anyone asks. :D

Actually, now that I think about it, that's not true. Maybe 4-5 years ago, I went in to the laundry room one night, and it was full of these weird giant houseflies. That kinda creeped me out. I sprayed the shit out of the room with Raid and it's never happened again.

Then just a couple years ago I went through about a 6 month stretch where the light bulbs kept burning out in the garage. One would burn out, then within a few days the other four would burn out. Then about a month later, the same thing. Went through that cycle quite a few times until I said **** it and replaced all the bulbs with CFLs. Not sure wtf that was all about but that's twice that I had strange shit happen with those garage lights.

I apologize. Please share more if you have them. I can't believe you're going to hold CP lexicon against me.

I've shared enough. :) I like your ghost story, btw. I do have a question though. Why in the hell didn't you grab a stick and go full-pinata on her deceased ass?

:D

When my POPS died in 2002 he left me that locomotive in a million pieces. I spent the next year working on it. I came to a point where I need an odd ball tool that I knew Pops had ( Boiler flue roller) I looked for months for that dam tool. I couldnt steam it up with out rolling that 1 leaky flue back in. Any ways I looked & looked & had given up on finding it & was ready to buy one from a friend.
I come home from work & head into the shop to do some other things to the locomotive & their it is. sitting next to the rotary vice in between the lath & milling machine. By this time I had hundreds of hours making chips with both the lathe & mill. That flu roller was not there that hole time, I would have seen it, no if & or buts about it.
