My husband and I live in Appalachia, and he works as a park ranger, meaning he spends a lot of time in the Appalachian woods at night. He doesn’t really believe in ghosts, but one night, he had an experience that was spooky even to him. He was making his rounds when he got a call from another park ranger. She sounded really scared and asked him to come to the park that she was closing up. He drove there to find that she had been waiting in her car at the gate for thirty minutes because she had been too terrified to wait in the headquarters building. It turns out that when she was outside the building after locking up, the lights inside the headquarters had suddenly turned on by themselves, followed by the outside porch lights. No one was there. She had just been inside. My husband accompanied her and they did another sweep of the building and its surroundings, but no one was there and there was no sign of forced entry or exit. My husband walked back to his car where the windows suddenly fogged up. It wasn’t a gradual fog– it was sudden. And it was very thick fog too. No matter what he did, he could not get rid of the fog, even when using windshield wipers. He had to drive out of the park almost completely blind. As he reached the exit, he saw something large standing in the road. I believe he rolled down his window to see it, and it was a very large deer standing there, staring at him, not moving. That obviously could have just been a coincidence but he said it gave him an eerie feeling, and that combined with everything else was just spooky! The second he left the park property, the window suddenly un-fogged and he could see perfectly again. He told me all about the experience as soon as he came home because he knows I love spooky things, and even though he doesn’t believe, he admitted that his experience was really weird!
