Bump

I've sort of got two. The first is just a place, about a mile from my parent's house, that is rumored to be haunted. There's a farm field at the corner of 38 and 29 where there used to be a house, but it burned down. I don't know how many people supposedly died or what kind of activity you can catch, but from what I've heard, everyone who goes out there catches something. The only catch is that it's a busy intersection, so you're likely to be seen by cops, which is the only reason I haven't gone out there myself.

The second one isn't one of those local legends that everyone knows about (well, as far as I know), but it's a story I heard from a coworker.

She and her husband went after work to take pictures of an old abandon house. It was plantation style, so there was some really great architecture that had fallen into disrepair.

They drove around the block three or four times to make sure that it wasn't inhabited, and it didn't look like there were any squatters. They parked the car and took their cameras.

First they looked at an outbuilding, which was a school room. Inside was a desk, some debris, and, according to Sarah, a little girl, about eight, in a white dress with black hair running away from them. She blinked, and assumed it was her imagination since she'd only seen it out of the corner of her eye.

They went into the house itself. It was a sunny day, and they made their way through the kitchen, living area. They could hear footsteps from upstairs. three steps here, then three from across the room, then three just above their heads. Admitting it was a bit odd, they proceeded with caution, thinking that if anything it was a homeless person.

They reached the stairs. Halfway up, they heard a noise like someone was sawing at the staircase. Convinced it was about to collapse beneath them, they ran up to the second floor. Doors started slamming, they could hear noises, footsteps, voices, etc. Finally convinced, they hightailed it out of there.

When they got to the car, the necklace Sarah had been playing with on the way over was dangling from the radio antennae, but she'd left it on the dash with the doors closed and the windows up. No one was around.

They went directly to get the pictures developed. All of them came out completely black, except for one, which neither of them remembered taking. It was of a sign on a gate and read: "Keep Out."
