Today
I came across a very interesting ghost story written by "an old man"
according to the writer. It is intriguing to me that the author has a
theory that perhaps we see these things when we are young and more
perceptive to what is around us. He has not had a supernatural
experience since this story.
As I have mentioned
before, I am a skeptical person but I have had four strange events in my
life that I cannot explain. Interestingly enough, the latest one was a
few months ago and I am not young by most people's estimation of what
young is.
Lunch Bucket Man
The
writer's story happened when he was a student. He was traveling home
to Roanoke via Rt. 81 via Wildwood Road. Supposedly the Wildwood Inn
has quite a spooky reputation. The Inn was closed and he was pretty much
the only car on the road.
As he approached the ramp to Wildwood
Road he saw a tall thin man holding a lunch bucket, not a pail, but a
bucket. The writer said he had seen that type of bucket carried by coal
miners. When the car lights passed over the man there was no shadow.
He didn't move or change expression.
He seemed to vanish and the
writer tried hard to figure out what had happened but could not come up
with a logical explanation. He has not had a similar experience. This
was in the early 1980's.
I found this story on Ghosts of America online.
Life with The Bird and Word Man - Clyde Kessler
The Mount Rogers 40th Naturalist Rally is tomorrow! I wanted to be sure to alert everyone again to this great event!
This
BRDC signature event highlights the crown jewel of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in Southwest Virginia. The Mount Rogers area, which includes
Virginia's three tallest peaks, has long fascinated scholars and
explorers. Not only is there a wide variation in altitude, there are
many different ecosystems and mini-ecosystems within a short drive or
hike of each other.
The 2014 Rally will be May 9 & 10.
