A Little Girl at Stone's Public House
Rate this encounter:
Kate, Ashland, Massachusetts, June or July, 2006
On this summer night, my whole family went to Stone's Public House for
dinner. The family members who came were my brothers, Luke and Ryan, my mom,
Anne, my dad, Lance, and my aunt Carole (who decided to come here). I was
very scared to have dinner here because I have heard the stories, but
everyone insisted that everything would be okay. Since it was a nice night,
we wanted to sit on the patio. It was very nice, we had already eaten and
were waiting for our dessert when I became the most scared that I have ever
been.
Since the patio is so close to the train tracks, when a train goes by it is
very loud and definitely catches your attention. The one train I had seen
the whole night had almost completely passed when I looked over at my mom,
and I saw her probably the most scared I have ever seen her. She looked over
at me and gave me a very serious look. Then my brother shouted out, "I saw
someone!" My mom said, "I thought I did too." My mom had my brother describe
what he saw (with no previous knowledge of what she saw), and he preceded to
give the exact description of what my mom saw. What they saw was what seemed
like a little girl who was standing on the balcony looking over the railing,
watching the train passing, she looked as if she was waiting for someone. My
family was taking advantage of the fact that I was scared, and tried many
times to scare me. My mother and my brother were determined to prove to me
that they were telling the truth. In the end I did believe them because I
have never seen either of them so serious in my life.
