This is a true story.
When I walking down a pathway near a brook on my way home after work, I heard a strange noise on the surface of the water. Intrigued, I went up to the edge of the bank and looked into the water. To my unquenchable fear, I noticed a face staring back at me- one that was not my own! Frightened, I ran down the path. After having run for about five minutes, I began to slow down. However, to my unquenchable fear, I noticed that the thing I had seen in the river was right behind me, running at a resounding speed! The ghost was about 6 foot, and was wearing a tattered cloak, I think it was from the 18th century, but I can't be sure. It ran straight through me. When it ran through me, It got so cold that I fainted. When I woke up, it was the next day. I have never walked that way home ever since.
