A couple of years ago, I sat down on the front porch of my
grandpa's house with, none other than, my grandpa, Dan F.
Steele. I asked him to tell me a scary story. He told me
that he had a couple and they were both true. Since then my
grandpa has passed away so, in honor of him, I have posted
the two stories that he told me on this site.
Story #1 (not the scariest one):
My grandpa's mom was only 9 when this happened to her so it was back somewhere around
1870. Any ways, to get home from school she had to pass
through the woods. Her mom would always come to pick her up
from school. One day, when they were coming home, they saw
a strange lady on the side of the street. She was yelling
and cussing at herself. A little while later she started
climbing a tree. When she was at the top of the tree she
yelled down, "I'm gonna get you two!" Then she started
jumping and climbing from limb to limb, slowly repelling.
It scared them pretty bad so they ran all the way home. At
home, they locked all of the doors and hid in a bedroom.
They slowly drifted off to sleep. When they awoke, my great
grandmas mom took out her shotgun and decided to search the
house. When she got down to the basement she found the
window was open. In the middle of the basement floor there
was a "nest" made out of their dirty clothes. The crazy
lady had been sleeping there all night.
Story #2: My great grandmother was older when this happened
to her.
She was out in the corn field shucking corn when
she decided to take a break. The corn field she was in had
a Y shaped path going through it and neighbours often passed
along the paths for a quicker route. She was right in the
middle of the path when suddenly she saw a figure moving
towards her. When the figure got closer she reconised it. It
was her brother, Dan. "Hi Dan!" She called out. He smiled
at her and went on his way. She went back to the house and
realised that she hadn't checked the mail for a week. On the
bottom of the mail pile was a letter from a week ago. She
opened it and read only the first line:
Dear Christina,
I am so sorry to tell you this but your brother Dan died a
few days ago.
