It seems like no matter who it is you talk to either they know a guy, or they say that they themselves have witnessed or heard something that would have to do with the paranormal. If you believe the stories you hear or if you think that the story you are being told is just a story that's been blown way out of proportion just to try and get a cheap scare out of somebody it is still fun to see the kind of reactions that you do out of people when the story is over, so its always nice to have some good stories tucked away just in case. I love to hear ghost stories and I always have. I do what I can to think that what they are telling me is 100% true because I think it would be way cool if I knew for a fact that ghosts do exist, however I cant do that so I just try to believe that they do. It is interesting to hear other peoples views on what they think is causing weird things in their house to happen because they are certain that there is no such things as ghosts and that there is a logical reason for everything, when really they are probably freaking out in their house every time the wind blows, and they just want to act like they don't believe in the paranormal. The thing that would probably intrigue me the most about ghosts and crazy things like that happening is because for the most part I think I really do believe. One thing in particular really makes me believe that the dead have a way of talking to you in different ways. For example, during the end of summer in 2010 me and my family were up at the sand dunes on our second day of our four day dune trip riding four wheelers. We had all woken up and everybody was eating breakfast. I wanted to hurry and do some riding so I just had a glass of milk and went off by myself but stuck around camp while my family ate. I ended up crashing my • • • wheeler really bad and came very close to dying from all of my injuries that consisted of: five vertebra in my back being broken, shattering my spleen, lacerating my kidneys, bruising a lung, and getting a concussion. After my full week of being in the ICU in Rexburg I was able to go home. It was the second or third night that I had been back when I had a dream. I was at a party of some kind in this HUGE room that kind of seemed like a super fancy hotel lobby or something, just a giant room. In the middle of the room there was a giant circular center piece with a metal railing going around it and in the middle there was like a water fountain, and some trees. When across the room I see my aunt Tami and my uncle Curtis, both of these members of my family were killed in a car accident in 2008. I run around the center piece and give them a big hug and the dream ended shortly after that. I thought it was a pretty crazy dream but didn't say anything about it to anybody basically because it was kind of a sad dream and didn't really want to upset anybody. Well about a week after having that dream I was in the bathroom one morning brushing my teeth and my mom came in and started doing her hair. My mom begins talking to me and she tells me that a few nights ago she had a dream. In this dream I was at a party of some kind and she remembered a center piece in the room with a fountain in the middle of it. She saw me running around some kind of center piece to go and give my aunt and uncle a big hug. As she finishes telling me this story I am dumbfounded that she just vividly described my dream to me. Keep in mind that I almost died and was still recovering, the doctors had told me that 15 minutes later to the hospital and I probably would have bled to death. The way we looked at it was pretty much my aunt and uncle telling us that if I wasn't going to make it through this ordeal that they would have been there on the other side to take care of me. Another story that I have I experienced with my friends. We were all over at our buddies house when our friend told us that he had a oujia board. I had always wondered about these things but • • • had heard stories and I was a bit worried to try it out but curiosity got the best of my and I was down to be playing it and see if it worked like people said it did. There were ten of us there but only eight were willing to play it because of all the hype that goes on with them, two people didn't want to take the risk, I couldn't really blame them. We sat down lit the candle and started asking it questions, it immediately started working for us but were just asking it things like "how many spirits are here with us" and things like that. When we really started to get freaked out is when we asked it where it was located and it would answer with "TV" and you were the guy by the TV or "Couch" and you were on the couch. The scariest part however was when we asked a spirit where it was and it responded with "you" at that point we all stopped and briefly freaked out, then put it away. Of course though we had to pick it up again and keep asking stuff, nothing really freaky happened around us at all but the answers were freaking us out pretty good. The house that we were playing it in has got quite a few weird things going on and our friend that lives there has told us some weird things that go on in there and he kind of thinks that we might have let something in with the board, so needless to say we haven't played it for quite some time. My method for collecting all of the material was pretty simple. All I did was I asked around to see if anybody had a story about something that had happened to them that they thought was weird and that they didn't really have a logical explanation to. Some of the stories that I had gathered, the person couldn't sign for it because they were to young, or they were to far away so I just had them tell the story to somebody else that I was friends with, and then I just had that person tell me the story so that I could record it. Then for some of the other stories I had, I already had gotten a few stories from people and had them sign for it, then they would call me with another story that they remembered they had and then I would just record it over the phone because I didn't need another signature, just their voice. Then when it came to • • • organizing everything, all I did was just put everything in the order that it happened. There is no sense in making all of the interviews jump around everywhere because it would be harder for me to keep track of everything and I am sure it would be a pain to grade, plus for the most part I think I just followed the packet we were given to go off of because I figured that you can't go wrong with following the instructions. The way that I look at ghost stories hasn't really changed even after interviewing everybody and hearing their stories. Plus all I can really do is take everybody's word for it that they are telling the truth, however the story Kaden Roholt told about his dad being visited by his deceased grandpa shortly after he had died I truly believe to be true because that is not the first time I have heard that story before. I assume that story is one that might have actually changed the way I look at ghostly things a little bit because that one I can actually relate a little bit to my experience with my aunt and uncle. Now I kind of think that maybe dreams could be some type of a (not trying to sound crazy here) but like a window or something? I don't know, but apparently there is something special about a dream and the dead because I know of two accounts that involve a deceased family visiting them in their dream for pretty crazy reasons. Kadens grandpa was there to say goodbye and I think one of the reasons my aunt and uncle could have been able to talk to me was because I was already so close to death. Plus I forgot to mention this up top but I got really sick with something called C-dif, that was the worst experience that I have ever had. I would go through all of the pain of the four wheeler accident again before I went through the C-dif illness again, because that was the part out of the whole experience where I literally felt like I was going to die. I lost 25 pounds in a matter of about a week and was so dehydrated that I had to go to the hospital and get two fulll.v. bags pumped into me because I couldn't keep fluids. Around this time was when I had my dream. • • • At the beginning of getting all of the information from friends and family and friends of friends, I was skeptical. To be honest even when I have been thinking things through as I have been writing this paper, I have been changing my perspective on how I look at ghosts. I think that ghosts probably do exist, whether you read through this and think that I am an idiot for thinking that I really couldn't care less. I know what I have experienced, I have heard my friends discuss things for the interviews and outside of the interviews that I believe to be true and so therefore I think I have good reason to believe . • • • Autobiographical Sketch My name is Tyler Thurston and I am seventeen years old. I am a senior at Mountain Crest High School and will be graduating in 2014. I was Born in Logan Utah and have lived in the same area in Nibley for my entire life. I have one little brother and no sisters. My dad works at Nucor steel and my mom works at Gossner Food's in the human resources department. I also work at Gossner Food's and am on my way to my third year working there. I am a maintenance worker and am outside doing stuff for the most part but am indoors every now and again. I plan on working at Gossners until I am old enough to work at Nucor steel along with my dad and my uncle, my grandpa also used to work there until he retired about six years ago so I figured I should probably keep the tradition going! I live for music. Metal music is something that my life revolves around, old and new. I'm talking 80's hair metal like Motley Crue, Poison, Pantera, and so much more. however I mainly listen to the newer type of metal that is super heavy and gets you moving like crazy. I am currently in a band where I do guitar and vocals, and I love everything about it. I also love to snowmobile, snowboard, go rock climbing, go to the dunes, drag racing and pretty much anything else that involves friends and a good time. The reason I would like to learn more about scary stories and things that involve ghosts is because I just love getting scared, and I love "dark" "scary" things like movies, music, and many many more. I have always been fascinated with things like that and I have also always been confused on what to believe when it comes to ghosts. There are a bunch of shows that are on TV that say they are all real, but I have no way of knowing if anything is really happening in those shows because with special effects and all of the other stuff that we have nowadays you can never tell if anything is true, and when it comes to big budget movies that are being made that say "based on a true story" or "true events" you never know how many of the things in the movie really did happen, or if Hollywood just took a cool concept they heard about and decided to add a bunch of far fetched stuff in there so that it is kind of based on the true story. Some friends of ours actually were living in a house that they had claimed to be "haunted" and they actually had some pretty believable stories, plus we had stayed the night there a few times and we experienced a few things that were kind of "different" if you know what I mean. Me an my friends have had some experiences of our own also. Curiosity got the best of us one night when me and a bunch of my friends were all hanging out and we decided that we would go get our hands on a Ouija board. I have always wondered about these things, wondered if they really worked or not, always thought that maybe the people playing them were just making them move and that everything was super fake, however I am a believer now. That thing scared us pretty good and we have not been able to get any of our other friends to touch play it with us again so I am thinking I might look further into those things and learn more about them while I do more of my research on ghost stories and encounters . • • • List of Informants Roholt- Kaden Roholt is a Senior at Mountain Crest High school and lives in Mount Sterling which is up in the Wellsville Area.

Text: Alrighty so my dad told me this and its one of my dads personal experience ghost stories. When he was about 9 or 9 his grandpa had passed away, and when he was asleep his grandpa came to him and he said hey Shane, im dead and I wanted to talk to you for a minute. He had a short conversation with him and they said their goodbyes. As his grandpa was leaving his dream he woke up to his dad waking him up and he said hey Shane I have bad news. Shane said I already know. His dad said what do you mean? Shane said grandpa visited me and said he was dead. Texture: Kaden heard this from his dad and his dad said that it is completely true and that he remembered everything with distinct detail. Both me and Kaden believe his dad was telling the truth and I think this was one of the most interesting stories I gathered out of the twenty other stories that I have to sort through. Item 2 • The Nunnery (Get out) Context: Justin has a brother in law that took a trip up to the nunnery with his friends and this came up in conversation because about 2 weeks ago me and my friends went to the nunnery so he told me about Rex's experience. Text: Alright my brother in law Rex was with a group of his buddies up at the nunnery and it was him and ten other friends, one of his buddies had a camera and they were in a little group walking through the nunnery, and it was really quiet then they suddenly heard a whispered "get out", so they all freaked out and ran out of • there and on the video you hear get out then the rest is just the sound of a swinging arm with a camera haha pretty creepy. Texture: Justin heard the story from his brother in law Rex but I am not entirely sure if I am sold on this story or not. We have been up at the nunnery and there was nothing really going on the whole hour and a half we were up there. Who knows, maybe it was somebody up there with another group of friends and they thought it would be funny to go and scare the other group of people that was up there with them. • Item 3 Oujia board • • Context: Alrighty So me and two other friends had this Ouija board and we were playing with it and the night went on with it and we had been playing with it for about an hour and a half before everyone left and my one friend who owned it was to afraid to take it home with him so I just said I would keep it here at my house. So then later at night I'm in bed playing X box and I am just laying down and while im playing I notice a serious pressure going on my arm and when I look at my arm the pressure slowly relieved and it felt like something was getting up and moving, so i was kinda wigged out but I didn't think much about it. So I keep playing x box then it was late enough to go to bed. I go to take my shirt off and my tag was sticking out and then it felt like four fingers slid down my neck and tucked my tag into my shirt so I flip around and there was nothing there so I got a really eerie feeling. So I am laying in bed and fall asleep but then wake up around 3:20 which is the witching hour between 3-4, and at the end of my bed I • hear some really heavy breathing at the end of my bed so I look • • around and don't see anything and the breathing kept happening as I forced myself to go back to sleep. Texture: Kaden told me this story right before we started playing with the Ouija boards ourselves because he wanted us going in there already freaking out even before anything started to happen. I can buy this story because I have heard crazy stuff from people, and on the internet about the Ouija boards so why would it be crazy to think that it could happen to him? Item: 4 • Ghost Dog Context: I asked Robert if he could help me out with my • • mythology project by telling me a story that he had maybe experienced that was at all scary, and he happened to have this one. Text: Hey what's going on? My friends and I were chilling up logan canyon one night we go up there often to hang out have food and sit around a camp fire. It just so happens this one particular night it was kind of strange we were all sitting around the campfire and a sound came out of nowhere that I heard like a chain rattling. And at first I though someone parked their car down on the road and was walking their dog up the trail, maybe even a park ranger seeing what was going on. So as I heard the noise I kind of just jumped up expecting to see a dog under the table like I mentioned but instantly after I heard chain rattles there was nothing there and it was crazy that our natural reaction was to jump out of our seats to look under the table, see what was there and it was right in our vicinity of where we were and after we saw nothing we went and searched the path because we were so focused on the sound we had • heard and this was pretty legitimate and after looking around we • • • didn't find anything so it was very very strange. Texture: I don't know what Robert heard, maybe it was a ghost of some sorts or who knows maybe it was even a chain tied to a tree somewhere that was blowing in wind or something I don't know but Robert isn't the type of guy to just lie to you so I believe he heard something that startled all of them . Item 5 Nunnery Context: Alec and I had gone up to the nunnery with a group of friends and then a few days later he went up with another group of friends and he wanted to tell us how the two experiences differed . ........ _ . . . _---- - ----- ------- • • • Text: Alright so me and 3 or 4 other friends went up to the nunnery in Logan canyon and first off its just a super sketchy place but so there is a main room that is a lot freakier than the rest by where the pool is if you know what I'm talking about. And its weird to hear creaking sounds and the main room inside of it, its boarded off except for a hole we had to go through you get in and it smells awful, chains hanging from the roof there is weird sounds all over, there is no way it wasn't paranormal. There was creaking up and down steps and nobody else was walking around with us we were all standing still. The nunnery / St. Anne's Retreat. Texture: I had been to the nunnery before and didn't really experience any of these things before except for the big room being boarded off and the chains from the ceiling but I don't know maybe he really did hear and see and smell that stuff, it is a creepy place however. Item 6 Arizona Ghost Context: Alec told me this story a few years ago when we had just gotten done watching a scary movie because he said that it reminded him of the same type of "ghost be gone" they had to use in Arizona. • Text: ok so when I lived in Arizona I was a little kid so I don't remember a whole lot about it, but I had this really weird freaky house we were renting and the basement was always really freezing cold, and we felt like there was another presence there so my parents got a weird kind of exorcism and get rid of the ghostly presence and it worked and was gone forever. Texture: I don't know about this one, especially because he was a little kid at the time so it could have just been a whole lot of little kid imagination going on that had a lot to do with it but he believes • what he said was true so I am not going to fight him on it ha. • Item: 7 Haunted Closet Context: We were making fun of Mckae and what not and the things we were saying to be funny reminded him of a story that wasn't really what you would say is funny it's a lot more freaky . Text: This one is about my haunted basement closet so one day I • • was down there watching TV and I noticed the door was opening and closing by himself and I thought my little brother was playing around so I kept watching TV and it kept opening and closing. It brings back emotions. So I'm sitting there and I get this bad feeling like a chill and I was like I need to check this out and I turned off my TV so it was really dark and I look in the closet and there was no one in there so it was weird then the door slammed shut behind me and I was like 0 no 0 no and then I hear a voice like Mckae Mckae and I was freaking out it was crazy then something grabbed my leg ... .it was outta this world. Texture: This is either a really crazy story that should be on the news or else this is just something he thought he would say ha either way I think it is a fun story that could be passed around to people that is just fun. ItemS Face Context: he got done telling me the other story that he told me for 7 and he said that he had another one for me so we sat down and he let me interview him once again. • Text: So I was laying in my bed and it was bed time and I am • asleep. I wake up and its like 4 in the morning and im like that's weird I woke up so I roll over to sleep again and I close my eyes and then I open them again and I see this face on my wall that I swear was there so I was freaking out and I was like oh no that is crappy and so I closed my eyes and went to bed and in the morning it wasn't there and so I was just being haunted by a ghost Texture: I have actually heard stories about people playing with Ouija boards and having this type of thing happen to them. I don't know if he has ever played with one of those before, but I would recommend he quits doing that if he does if he is getting crazy • things like that to happen in his house! Item 9 Weeping Widow Context: Me and my friends went legend tripping on Halloween night to the cemetery to see the weeping widow and see if we could get her to look at us when we shined the light on her, and Tristan Gonion tells us what happened • Text: Me and my wonderful friend Tyler, and Alec and Mckae and • Tyger all decided to check out the weeping widow in the late afternoon in the night, so we decided to hop the fence and unfortunately Tyler ripped his pants and so did I we got stuck and were freaking out as cars were driving by and once we got over our ripped pants we went to the widow and did the light thingy and looked at it and it worked and we were very surprised because we were very spectacle, it was quite sketchy because we didn't think it would work and it did, and being in the cemetery was creepy • anyways. Texture: I was with these guys when they did it and yes indeed it did work, we all had big flash lights and once we turned them off we saw the statue lift her head out of her hands and look at us .... .it was scary. Item 10 Haunted Building Context: Tristen heard about this haunted area from his brother that lives in Pennsylvania and he went there so he thought he would share it with his dear friends. Text: I heard about this building that was haunted I don't • remember what it was but I went to check it out with one of my • • • good old pals so we decided to go in and we got to the door and it was chained and we broke it, and the creepy door creaked and we got into the room and it smelled like something had been skinned in there like hunting people lived there, it was kinda weird, so we wondered around the building and we found a dining room area that was way nice and had a way nice chandelier at the edge of the table it was really weird like someone was following us but no one was there and it looked like people had been living there recently. Texture: I wish I knew what this place was called so maybe I could google it or something but he said everything he told us was true and this building was really nasty. Item: 11 Haunted House Context: These friends of ours live just down the road from us and this lady has got a BUNCH of stories about ghosts that she has come in contact with over the years and I have been in her house and I am definitely thinking that she is being haunted all of the time Text: we are at our friends house hanging out one night and she is telling me about how she has these ghosts that have followed her - •• '00 _______ _ ___ • • from one house to the next, and were all sitting in the living room all of us and she starts talking about it and all of the sudden I hear somebody running up and down the hallway upstairs above us and we were all downstairs so it was kind of creepy. Texture: I believe this story one hundred percent because I was there when it happened and there are quite a few more stories to come that have to do with her and her ghosts . Item 12 Old house Context: The same friend that had the ghost running up and down the halls also had an old house that she lived in back when she was a little girl still living at her parents house. Text: So this friend said she has been followed by ghosts like her whole life anyway there was an old, old house that she lived in in • providence across the street from the maverick where they built - --- - - --------- • • that new car wash and stuff, and she lived in there and said it was really haunted and she said one day she came back from school and walked in and there was someone sitting on her couch and there was an old lady sitting on her couch in a black veil in all black sitting and staring forward and she ran in the kitchen and came back and the lady was gone. Texture: I believe all of the stories this girl tells because a fair amount of these stories actually have proof anyways and that makes it even more awesome . Item 13 Old House Picture Context: I have actually seen the newspaper clipping that has the picture of the man standing in the window of this house and it is one of he coolest pictures I have ever seen Text: ok so my same friend that lived in that same creepy house across from where the maverick was said that it was haunted by • this old man and I guess when they tore that house down to build • I • • the carwash there the newspaper was there and took a picture of the house and they all started freaking out because they were bulldozing it and the newspaper guy said that there was somebody there and anyways they printed this picture in the paper and you could see the silhouette of the man in the upstairs window as they were tearing it down. Texture: like I said I have seen the picture of the newspaper with the guy in the upstairs window and it is really creepy, but totally awesome! That is a picture that will make a person that is curious about ghosts a believer . Item 14 Ghost Girl Context: I knew this story even before my mom did because our friend told me this herself, this happened in that old house she lived in in providence back when she was a little girl. Text: k so my again my friend that has been living in haunted houses her whole life told me one morning her mom was yelling at her to get up one morning and she was taking her time and her mom was getting mad and she is facing the wall and her mirror is i. • • on the wall and she said she opened her eyes and this girl that looked like she was on skates or something because she wasn't walking went like walking by her door and shot her this big 01 dagger and just kept going on by. Texture: I really like this story because I can actually like see it playing through my head and it's a really cool story, personally I think I would freak out and lose my mind and never sleep in that house again . Item 15 Mysterious Door Context: I was actually in the room when this happened and saw it with my own two eyes. Text: So me, my dad and my brother we were all just hanging out watching TV and out of nowhere our closet door in my parents room opens up and it's weird because there wouldn't be a draft or anything in there. So yeah, that's about it. Texture: This was really freaky because we were all just sitting • • • there talking and the door just opened. It's really weird because that closet door always swings shut after you open it so when it opened all by itself it was creepy! • Item 16 Helping Hands Context: I never heard this story before but I found it pretty interesting. I would like to find this story and read more about it. Text: K several years ago in a small Wyoming town, this is true but I don't remember exactly where. There was I believe a man and a woman that were in trouble with the law. lean 't remember why exactly but they went into an elementary school first thing in the morning and held the kids and the teachers hostage. And it wasn't • a big school so but there were plenty of kids and they took them into the gym and they had guns and urn I can't remember they threatened to blow them up I think. And so anyway the police and everybody found out and surrounded it but all the kids were scared And did what the teacher told them but urn eventually I don't remember if they one of them got shot or something I wish I could remember better. But kids came and they were being helped out of the window by these different people and stuff and the kids said • after that they had actually had seen people there that were just • • • ---,- ,----------_._ . kinda floating they didn't have legs or feet. And they saved, I don't think anybody got hurt any of the kids or teachers. But later on they were trying to describe who it was that helped them because it wasn't any of the towns people or anything. And so a lot of the families got out their photograph albums and they were looking through and the kids would say that is the person that helped me. And it would be their great great grandma or great great grandpa that they never met. And that is a true true story. But there was a lot of them that were helped by an ancestors that had passed on years and years before. Texture: I really like this story and can't imagine being helped by family that have already passed on. But then I think it would be really cool to see some of them again . ----------------- .. _.. _ -_ ... __.. ... . • Item 17 Footsteps in the attic Context: I heard this story before and it's from the same people that lived in the haunted houses their whole lives. Text: OK so my friend Cody his mom when he was younger he well his mom when he was younger she heard footsteps in her attic when she was hanging out with his dad they were just hanging out watching movies and they heard footsteps in the attic so they thought they'd go check them out. So anyway they • go check them out and they go walking up into the attic and nothing was there. Then they went down and went to get some • flashlights came back and when they were on their way back they heard footsteps on the ladder. So when they got back the footsteps were gone. The very next day well not the very next but a few weeks later they heard the very same thing but only in the attic they didn't want to go check it out. But that is what he told me so that is pretty much it. Texture: My little brother heard this story from his friend that lives in this house and he is so, so sure that his friends house is haunted. Item: 18 Hitchhiker Context: I have actually heard this type of story before in my mythology class. Text: so I heard this story about this guy that was driving down this road and he saw a girl hitch hiking so he picks her up and she was pretty cold so he gives her his lettermen's jacket and drops her off at her house and then realizes that he forgot to get his jacket back so the next day he goes back to this house and says I need to • get my jacket back is Susan here? And they said I am sorry Susan died twenty years ago. He said well no I saw her last night and I • gave her my jacket, the mom said well I can take you to her grave they go to the cemetery and his lettermen jacket is on top of the grave. Texture: I don't think I really believe this story because I have heard it be told in so many different ways so it sounds like everybody kind of has their own spin on it. Or maybe it is true but some of the translation has been shifted throughout all of the times it has been told . • • • Item 19 Maiden on the Hill Context: Text: ok so many many years ago in high school there has been this story about this maiden who was in love this man, well this man went hunting up in the mountains and never came back, so she went looking for him and actually froze to death up there. And every time the snow starts to melt in the spring you can see an outline of her and its called maiden on the hill. Text: I have seen this mountain before I the spring and its really cool looking. You can actually see the girl and it looks like she is walking across the mountain side. I had seen if before but hadn't heard the story until now . • • • Item 20 The Pasture Context: This is a friend of mine's property that some of my other friends go up to in the summer time to have fires and hang out that is up in Mt. Sterling and its pretty creepy and has some creepy things going on around it all the time. Text: Ok so my friends own this property where it is kind of secluded from everything else in Wellsville. And whenever we go down there to sleep out there or just hang out. We always hear something running across the river a few hours after we get there and there are always just twigs around us breaking and footsteps and we always see something white darting in between trees. One day while leaving me and one of my friends we saw something big and white jumping from tree to tree and after we saw that we were out of there. Texture: This in my eyes is all true because I have been down there before and I agree with the things running towards us in the river and then nothing ever shows up. I still however haven't seen any white things jumping tree to tree there before but hey anything is possible I guess .
