I don't believe in ghosts. I used to, but I don't anymore. However, I do believe there is some yet unexplained freaky shit in the universe, and this is my story.
A bit of context. My pappaw owns 80 acres more or less near Corydon Indiana. My aunts and uncles, and my mother, all own twenty acres a piece of abutting and overlapping property thereto. Many Sundays, we all gather to eat delicious fattening country style food and chat. Today was one of those days (plus I needed iris starts and cow poop which I ended up'd bailing on getting, b/c I'm scared of the cows to whom the poop belongs.)
Anyway, we're all sitting around the table, and my uncle Allen asks around the table if anyone had heard a wierd noise lately. He was not specific other than to say, if we'd heard it, we would know what he was talking about. After we noted the proximity of my mom's four vocal goats, and ruled them out as a source, we asked Allen if he could further define the sound. He said "it sounds like the wind, but more of a howl."
I got goosebumps and I looked at my mom. I said, "I've heard it, it sounds like a whale/train whistle/awful noise."
Allen looked at me and said "That's exactly what it sounded like. When?" (I don't live around there, so how could I've heard it?)
I said "15 years ago, mom and I were asleep up there (pointing at second floor above our head) and some thing that sounded like that came in through the window one night and scared the living shit out of us and then it flew back out the window." No, it was not an owl. There were screens up.
My mom backed me up, b/c she was there. My sister remembers too, but she was not there to discuss. It sounded a lot like the smoke monster from Lost. Now, it could have been a bad dream, but our descriptions of what happened and what that thing looked like matched exactly. To this day, my mom, who can cut a bitch and is tough as nails, cannot sleep with her window open because of it and had to sleep with a light on for six months after the incident.
Allen said "interesting." He's heard this thing twice.
It's probably a goat. On a side note, I do have vivid lucid dreams and wake up screaming and trying to run somewhere, usually when I wake up zule is like "WTF?"
