The Man On The Bench
I hope you enjoy it. This happened few years ago in my home town, Driffield, and I remember it was on Valentine's day. Me and my friend, Kerstie, were walking to her house one night. I forget what we were doing, but on the way to her house we had to pass this memorial garden. It has a few flowers, and a bench that faces a monument from the war, it's quite a nice place with a small river. There is a path that runs behind the bench, and this was the path we had chosen that day.
It wasn't quite dark and I remember it was around 6pm because there is a church not far from the garden, and the bells struck just before we walked by. We were both quite happily talking away until we came close to the bench. Then we both went silent, and turned to face the bench. It was very strange because we both did this at the exact same time, in mid sentence, and just stared for what seemed like ages. There was a man sat on the bench with his back to us. He seemed to be wearing a rather large coat, with a biggish collar, it was a greenish color, and he had a large bag next to him. I originally thought the bag was a small child huddled on the bench until I realized how large it was.
After what seemed like ages, but was most likely a few seconds, we both realized we were staring but we didn't seem to understand why. Then, at the exact same time, we both realized the guy had no visible head (I know it sounds lame but honestly it is true). Kerstie started to scream. She ran across the road and waited for me on the other side. I didn't quite know how to react and just continued to stare in shock. The guy didn't seem phased by Kerstie screaming, and this creeped me out a little. I thought maybe he was leaning forward, and his head just wasn't visible, so I slowly walked round the side of the bench, to see a front view. The whole time, he didn't move an inch. As I got closer, I saw that he wasn't hunched forward... He really didn't have a head... Just a gaping collar with blackness. Yet he had hands, and feet and everything else. He just sat there with his hands on his knees. At this point, fear got the better of me and I ran after Kerstie. As I caught up with her I paused and looked back... The guy was moving his arms... We then ran all the way to her house.
When we actually got home, it was the first time we spoke since we went silent and she said to me "You did see that didn't you?"
We then talked about the whole experience, and we had both witnessed the same thing... A headless man in green, sat with a bag on a bench. She also said that she thought the bag was a child too... I thought that was kind of odd. We thought maybe it was a guy from the war waiting for his lover, or grieving for a friend lost in the war, but I doubt we will ever know.
I know it seems unlikely but this really did happen, and if it wasn't for the fact that Kerstie saw it too, I'd wonder if I really did see it. I have seen other things but this is by far the scariest.

I believe in people having spirit energys cause when my dad passed away I woke up from my sleep and found him in his ghostly form looking down at me.Of course I freaked a bit and he disappeared into my mothers room but I can still remember it like it was yesterday.I guess he was saying goodbye to us.

Ghosts are cool. I was doing work during the summer for a sororiety house. It was three stories and they had 26 rooms for the girls. On the second floor they had a really long hallway. The house mother let me in and told me what to do. Then she told me about Henry. She said he likes to turn on light at the end of the hall. Well the hallway was scary enough, plus me and my co - worker were the only ones there, and after she left we searched the house to make sure we were the only ones there( we didn't want to be part of a practical joke). He was working down on the first floor away from the stairway leading up to the hall and I was upstairs. The damn light came on while I was standing in the hall. He was not anywhere near the light switch. Scared the hell out of me. Once the job was finished I told our dispatcher about it, he had a similar experience there two years before. However, he was stopped in the hallway by an invisible force. It was holding his shoulder and wouldn't let him pass. He said he went outside when that happened and never want back in. At least I finished the job
