Long time away.

Hello everyone I know I have been away a long time. Time just seems to fly by some times getting use to a new apt. and trying to make EBAY pay off for me not doing to bad but sure could not live on it, bet at least I can go shopping at the thrift stores and not feel guilty or risk being a hoarder lol. I Buy it then I sell it with luck and make a little to buy more. This week I think I found a really great deal.

the ghost in the rear view mirror

Well to start this off I will tell about my Brother, to be honest he was an alcoholic, so he was not a driver he rode his bicycle every where he went,but if he had it his way he would by on a motorcycle,that is how he was free all ways. Well about 8 years ago he was hit by a car and killed, it was not the drivers fault. Anyway my sister who used to live in Hatterass NC had his ashes for a while till laborer day week end a year later. Any way she decided to his spread his ashes in the wind on the island and the ocean. So when she got off work, as she was driving down rt 12 , let me tell you it gets very dark out that way at night, she said she show a motorcycle lite in her rear view mirror and the next time she looked it was gone and my brother was in the mirror, she said he looked like he was happy and she felt very safe that night it made her sad but at the same time happy, because it felt like he was letting her know he was ok and that what she was doing was the right thing, she is the oldest of our family and he was the youngest boy.

Some Ghosts of Cape Hatteras

My sister used to work in Cape Hatteras NC. at one of the chain hotels there, she was the GM, so she worked nights a lot of the time, and has told me of a few things that she has see and strange happenings. I will try and tell you about them now, so set back and read as in my other hubs this is a true story and I am not making any of it up.

Let me give a little history for those of you who do not know About Cape Hatteras NC. It is one of the barrier island of NC. and part of it is a state park. Here is more info on the area.It is all so part of the grave yard of the Atlantic, one of the stops for Black Beard the Pirate. I my shelf have seen not far from the hotel a small grave yard that holds the graves of man and woman who died in a ship wrack and a grave of a Confederate solder when I say not far mean this island you can walk from on side to the other in about 15min,.

One of the strange things that happened to her a lot wore shadow people, now I know what you are thinking, "it's got to be car lights" but it wasn't this hotel is at the end of the island and after about 12am there is very little traffic the ferry stops then, any way she would see them all different times even in the day if it was very quite.They seemed to like the breakfast area the best the would go from the lobby to the breakfast area and then be gone and no one else would be in the lobby but my sister she got used to them and stopped going to see who was there, They never made trouble so she just left them a lone.

Then you have the old ship Capt. that roamed around the point of the Island she says that you could see him all around that area of the island, the locals told her that he would come around when there was going to be a bad storm. She saw him just before the hurricane Isabel. You all so had one ghost that liked to throw things, one day one of the workers was in the back hall that lead to the laundry room when some thing throw a bunch of bananas off the refrigerator at her, I do not mean they fell it was to far for that to happen.

One night when she was closing out the books for the day and backing up the files, the power surged and all the office machines went crazy they just kept running she tried turning them off but they would not turn off she even unplugged them and they kept on going for a while. Now that one kind of upset her.

I have asked her to write down what all has happened to her there so I can later pass it on.

How do you explain this ?

I am continuing with some of the unexplained things that have happened to me in my life, so with this one I ask you how do you explain this one.

This is a true story as all of mine are. This took place a little over 21 years ago, I was pregnant with my first daughter, I was working the morning shift on a Sunday , it was about early morning I opened the bar/restaurant about 6:30am for the guys getting of the night shift from the RR that was close by,I had about 5 customers that morning and they had there breakfast (first beer).Before I go on let me tell you a little history on this bar/restaurant it is a small local place all so known as a whole in the wall I was 24 yrs old at the time. This bar was originally what we call a ships store that is a place that has everything it was on the water front and when the man got off the ships did not need to go shop down town or anything that was back in the 60's the owner was an old Greek man and his wife my mom used to work for them back then it was just after my father passed of cancer, we lived just behind the bar so I spent a lot of time there as child and as a grown up, well in the late 60's or early 70's the owner died and his wife talked my mom in to buying the bar we kept it for about a year the we had to sell it the shipping business had died down. Now I can jump back to the real story hear.

As I was saying it was early on a Sunday morning and all my customers had left so I was alone sitting at the bar with a can of coke, it was a hot morning it was late June and the AC was not working again so it was to leave the front door closed, this place only had one window and a solid wood door it was a havy door at that. Well as I was setting there trying to think of something to do to make the time go by waiting for the lunch group to come in, the front door opened and I saw a man walk in he was dressed in white t shirt and had white hair with one of those old white paper hats you used to see cooks wear. I turned to get up from my stool to wait on him as he was walking around the bar it was shaped like a horse shoe. The sun was coming though the door and window so I could not see his face. As the door closed he disappeared he never went out the door I am sure of that. I thought ok some one is being funny and that he had dropped down below the bar where I could not see him so I walked around and there was no one there he was just gone. This all took maybe 30sec or min. at the most. It hit me as I was walking to look that it was not some one playing a game I recognized who it was, it was the old Greek man that used to own the place. I even got a customer who came in about 5 min. later to look around and be sure that there was no one there but me and him. he could find no one and the only other door was locked from the inside.You may wonder why I stayed alone after I saw that ,well I will tell you this much as a small child this man had been very nice to me and my family so I was not afraid of him I really felt safe and not so alone for a while.

So you see not all ghost come out at night, they can be around any time. So now how do you explain this story.
