Those who say "Ghosts don't exist, are always the close minded ones that get offed first if they were in a horror film. I am a firm believer that there is life after death, from my own experiences and from the stories my dear relatives tell.
A story is told in Olusty Oklahoma, it goes:
"First you here the train whistle, then you hear the boy scream, then you hear the dog bark."
Most people would not get that unless they were from around that town. The true meaning behind that little saying is not as grim as people say it is and the legend is true, and that legend is:
Four boys walking down a railroad track, one with his dog on a chain. The boys hear the train whistle and scatter off the tracks, except one boy, the dog's owner, he remained there trying to get his dog's chain loose from the tracks. He did get it loose just in time to set his "best friend" free, but he was not fast enough to save himself. Yes tragically he did pass away, but he did not pass on his legend remains to this day in that small town in Oklahoma. Give a listen if you may to hear that whistle, then the scream, then the bark.
Another legend in Oklahoma, town unknown, is of another set of railroad tracks, but these tracks leave small "prints" of evidence behind.
The legend to this is:
"If you go to these tracks in your car, turn off the ignition, and just let it sit on the tracks your car will be pushed to whatever side of the tracks your front is facing."
The story behind that is of a small town loosing a big part of it's child hood. A bus was heading down the road, nothing was wrong with it, nothing at all. It came to a railroad track and failed to make a complete stop and wound up on the tracks, sadly yes a train was coming, and sadly yes more lives were lost. A bus full of children and their bus driver.
Yes some people believe that the pushing of the car was done by the lost children. Some believe that the kids are trying to protect you from the same fate that they had, while others just say the road is slick and curved. Some might tell you to put powder on you trunk to see the small hand prints, and some might say that is all a bunch of superstitious hooey. I am not sure my self, this is just what I have been told.
Sometimes "legends" get boring and you desire a true story, or at least the teller of the story will say it's true....
