Spooky Tales: Red Cross Nurse Ghost

This week’s tale comes from paranormal.about.com.

“This story takes place in Hollywood, Florida in 1982. It is a true a story, so help me. When my parents moved us from Homestead, Florida to Hollywood in 1971, they sold my grandmother’s trailer and had her move in with us. I had a back bedroom and used a waterbed. My parents took apart my bunk bed and turned it into two separate beds and set them up in one of the front bedrooms. This is the room my grandma took. Less then a year later, she told us she was going to lie down for a bit before dinner. When my mother went to wake her, she had passed on, peacefully sleeping on the bed.

Spooky Tales: Was it Clara Barton?

This week’s spooky story comes from yourghoststories.com and Iowa State University. Was it Clara?

“Along time ago when I was 7 I went to Clara Barton’s house near D.C. I was with my mom, my brother, my godmother, and her boyfriend.

When we got to the house we knocked on the door and a lady came and opened the door. Of course since I was only 7 I could see under the lady’s elbow, and while the lady was still holding the door and talking to adults I could see inside the house.
I saw another lady leaning on the wall. I think she was looking at me or at all of us. She had in some kind of dark (greenish, maybe) clothing and I think her hair was black or something of that kind of color.
