THE GHOST

He looked back and he thought, should I run back to the ranch where I came from and tell them, “I saw this ghost and I’m afraid to go home.”   Or should I just risk it and go on home.  He thought I have to make a decision here.  Either run back that way and that thing might chase me or run across.  I’m just going to make a go for it. 

So he started running and that thing was moving across and lifted up and he’s like shaking.  He’s getting closer to it on the road and he sees the fence.  And he looked, and he thought, hey, that’s a horse with a white spot on his head and he was eating grass, moving his head from side to side and then he’d lift his head.  It’s a horse.  All the fear went away, Aaahhh.  Then he thought it was funny. He laughed.  Ha ha ha.  Good thing I hadn’t run back and told them that a ghost scared me.  Good thing I decided I’d go through it.  It was a horse.  He said, “Then I wasn’t afraid after that.  I just kept going, ta tat de da, all happy.”

Encinal

     Burkholder Road, going out 
          of Encinal to the west

My Grandfather had gone to visit somebody that lived on a ranch that was down the Burkholder Road. Some of the ranches were 10 – 15 miles away from each other.   He told the people, “Well I guess I better go home, it is getting kind of late.”  He was young, 14 or 15 years old. He was walking down the road and it was getting darker and darker.  He was about half way back to Encinal, about 5 or 6 miles.  Now it’s real dark. There are no lights out there.  No lights at all.  He was walking down the dirt road. 

 

Then he saw a white form about two feet high and about four inches wide, moving on the ground, side to side.  Moving about four feet one way and then about the same the other way.  He stopped and he thought, what the heck is that?  It was so dark. he couldn’t see what it was.  He took a few more steps and it would move side to side.  He said he started getting scared.  He was walking and walking.  He was watching it the whole time and then the form stopped.  And then the form lifted up and he thought, “Wooh.”  Then the form lifted up in the air about 6 feet high and moved around, up and down in the air. Then it stopped and it moved back down.
