GHOSTS

ONE TIME, AT NIGHT, IN THE HILLS SURROUNDING CENTER
RIDGE, ARKANSAS, MY GRANDFATHER WAS OPOSSUM HUNTING.
HE WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A FRIEND AND HIS HUNTING DOG
WHEN HE SAW A WHITE FIGURE WALKING THROUGH THE BRUSH.
THE FIGURE WAS A GLOWING WHITE. THE DOG ALSO SAW
THE "GHOST" AND STARTED AFTER IT. MY GRANDFATHER'S
FRIEND DID NOT SEE THE GHOST SINCE HE WAS NOT LOOKING
IN THAT DIRECTION. THE FRIEND DID NOT BELIEVE THE
TALE. HOWEVER, MY GRANDFATHER LEARNED LATER THAT
HE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO SEE THE GHOST. OTHERS
HAD SPOTTED THE FIGURE IN THE SAME GENERAL AREA
ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS.

Where learned: MICHIGAN ; Arkansas ; CENTER RIDGE ; Mount Clemens
