This is my first story ever submitted to this site. It
is about the most recent experience that I have had with the
paranormal. I personally believe that I may have a certain
connection with the "otherworld", as I call it. All through
my life I have been able to "feel" things around me and even
sometimes hear voices speaking to me in my head, but I have
seen very little personally. This story is about one of the
few things I have actually been able to see.
This happened about two years ago, a friend of mine
came over to me and my boyfriend's apartment and suggested
out of the blue that we take a trip to Gettysburg, which is
about forty or so minutes from our home. Always up for a
little trip, we piled in the car and began our journey.
Since we were going during the day I had not expected to see
anything out of the ordinary, but we were all taken by
surprise that day.
We spent about an hour fooling around on the large rock
formation on the edge of the battlefield before we took to
the battlefield itself. We wandered into the woods away from
the many monuments, after a while. I am not sure exactly why
we went out there but after winding along the twisty
hike-paths our friend stopped.
We asked him why he stopped and he told us there were
some horses up ahead. This is not unusual in itself. I
suppose people go riding up there occasionally. So we moved
around and sure enough we could see the tops of the heads of
two horses. Oddly, everything was silent. The horses
appeared to be wearing bridles but we could not see the
riders through the thick trees and brush. All we could hear
was the wind around us. No voices, no calls from the
horses, no footsteps, nothing.
We forgot about it and continued moving around. We did
try to look for the horses and riders after a minute or so
but they were gone. We moved to the spot where we had seen
the horses the first time but nothing was there. We had not
heard them move off. They were just gone! We all looked at
each other and our friend and my boyfriend started to move
back to the battlefield. I wanted to stay but our friend
looked really spooked so we left. We tried to talk to him
about what we saw but he insisted it was nothing. But I
remember seeing those horses as clear and as lifelike as
anything.
