Laura, abashed - 2004-11-01 01:03:30 Trees can be scary. Especially dead ones. In your research, have you come across the ghost of Frain's Lake (just north of Ypsi @ Prospect and Plymouth)? The story has something to do with a long-past victim of the lake who hovers over the water. I can't rmember where I heard of it though.* * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-11-01 08:57:19 Hmm--we've passed Frain lake a number of times--I remember seeing it on the map, too--but I've never heard of a ghost associated with it--I'll check it out, thank you Leighton.* * * * * * * * * * * * c.c. - 2004-11-01 15:37:18 You mentioned two unsettling anomalies. Imagined or otherwise, I'm just dying to know! (Let's see if I know how to make a line break.) I grew up across the street from a Red Cross office with an old cemetary in the back yard. I recently visited my hometown of Warren, Ohio with my boyfriend, and we took a stroll through that cemetary. It is absolutely as beautiful as I remembered. I used to collect black walnuts and make potpouri... anyway, I explained to him that we'd be seeing Civil War graves, but I was so surprised to come across some actual Revolutionary War gravestones. You can still read the dates. Amazing. James Mann organized a "ghost walk" last Halloween. I'm not sure if he repeated it again this year. I was reminded of ghost walks in my hometown, where actors would wait at various "haunted" locations, the aforementioned cemetary, and the house of my childhood included, and re-enact the spooky story of their death for the tour groups. I'm thinking of suggesting this to Mr. Mann. I'm sure a local theater company would be interested. * * * * * * * * * * * * c.c. - 2004-11-01 15:40:06 You mentioned two unsettling anomalies.

Hm, I don't believe the estimable Mr. Mann did his ghost walk this year. Don't know why. Oh, those anomalies...no doubt just a feverish imagination. I looked back over my shoulder and (thought I) saw this weird vague rectangular brown shape just kind of hanging in the air about 100 yards away, over the creek--no doubt an illusion. I fearfully double-taked and in the same spot in the air there was now a black ball shape about the size of a bowling ball, also about 100 yards away. Don't forget, this spot in the air was in a muddle of branches, leaves, very confused visual field--I was imagining stuff. But picked up the pace after that, you may be sure. Ugh. I think I'll skip visiting that spot in the future, lost graves or no. I did quite a bit of online poking trying to uncover the history of this dank little spot, to no avail. * * * * * * * * * * * * Laura - 2004-11-01 15:55:52 Funny that you mention that: the grapevine says that he's got some project concerning Ypsilanti murders in the works.* * * * * * * * * * * * add your comment: |
