I am 19 and this story happened about 9 or so years ago when I had the chore of taking the garbage down to the street. I'll give you a little background first. I have lived next to a graveyard ever since I was 3, my house is over a hundred years old, and I live across from a barn. Here is the story. We have garbage pick up on Wednesdays, so we usually take our garbage down on Tuesday night. I went around the entire house just like every week, picking up all of the garbage that I could. I placed all of the garbage in a cart that my dad made (it is on wheels and holds about 4 garbage cans) and I then I proceeded to take the garbage down to the street. Just like normal, my dog Champ would accompany me on my way down to the street when it was dark out. We are about 30 feet from the street when Champ started to growl. This was a little weird for me, but I waved it at that moment, thinking that it was just an animal or something. I looked at where I was to place the garbage like normal, but this time as I approached I noticed in the distance something that I will never forget. I saw what looked like a shade of a person. Ok, so I am young and I get scared so I ran up to my house and I told my mom and she walked back down to the street with me, my mom could see it too. Strange isnt it?
