QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith Not even scary...try this one on for size... A young woman on her way to town broke her journey by staying with friends at an old manor house. Her bedroom looked out to the carriage sweep at the front door. It was a moonlit night, and she found it difficult to sleep. As the clock outside her bedroom door struck 12, she heard the noise of horses' hooves on the gravel outside, and the sound of wheels. She got up and went over to the window to see who could be arriving at that time of night. The moonlight was very bright, and she saw a hearse drive up to the door. It hadn't a coffin in it; instead it was crowded with people. The coachman sat high up on the box: as he came opposite the window he drew up and turned his head. His face terrified her, and he said in a distinct voice, "There's room for one more." She drew the curtain, ran back to bed, and covered her head with the bedclothes. In the morning she was not quite sure whether it had been a dream, or whether she had really got out of bed and seen the hearse, but she was glad to go up to town and leave the old house behind her. She was shopping in a big store which had an elevator in it -- an up-to-date thing at that time. She was on the top floor, and went to the elevator to go down. It was rather crowded, but as she came up to it, the elevator operator turned his head and said, "There's room for one more." It was the face of the coachman of the hearse. "No, thank you," said the girl. "I'll walk down." She turned away, the elevator doors clanged, there was a terrible rush and screaming and shouting, and then a great clatter and thud. The elevator had fallen and every soul in it was killed. [:0]
QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie This is a good place for a good ghost story: A man fell deeply in love with a woman when they were teenagers. He noticed that she always wore a yellow scarf around her neck. But he was so in love with her, it really never made any difference. He just assumed it was a scar she wanted to cover. They were married many years and during that time he only asked her once why she wore the yellow scarf. She told him that if he was still living at the time of her certain demise, she would tell him on her deathbed. The years passed and she became very ill and was on her deathbed. He was holding her hand and asked the question again - "why do you always wear the yellow scarf?" Feeling it might be her last breath coming, she slowly reached up and untied the scarf. Her head fell off. ####### Sometimes it is just best not to know why...... [sigh] Mz Moo

The "other" MWH originally posted on the forum as a Trains contributor (probably not the right term, but hopefully you get the idea), but has more recently been posting as a "regular" poster, like you and me and everybody except, well, Bergie and a select few others.

So of course our postings make no sense whatever since we are disagreeing or agreeing with something that is no longer there.
