| That's a freaky story Ryan. Do I believe it? I'm not sure. The neighbour could be just denying there was a party, or else a member of the extended family had a party and didn't tell the owner of the house, because it was free after all. They then cleaned up all the mess in the morning and left without a trace. Who was going to know? That's one way of looking at it. The early 1900's were notorious for ghosts stories, and urban legends, because people had nothing better to do with their free time. There was no Television or Internet, so storytelling was very popular. I love it though. Did you actually go to the graveyard with her and write? She sounds like a fascinating person. > Ghost stories, ghost stories... > > About a year ago I worked with a musician who was based in > New South Wales and I was telling him about my friend's > housemate who could see spirits.
