I live about a half a mile away from Profile Rock. It's a huge rock that has the profile of a Native American. It's set back about 1/4 mile from the road and is surrounded by woods. There are no lights at all. Everyone in town climbs it when they're little.
Anyway, one night I was about to fall asleep and I could here someone running down the street. I looked outside and I saw this kid (18 or 20 years old) sprinting down the street, into my driveway, and toward my side door. I went downstairs and by this time, he was at my front door. I opened the door and he begged me to let him in my house. No way I'm letting some crazy kid in my house. He asked me to call the cops because something very bad happened at Profile Rock. He was at Profile Rock with two friends and they're gone. I called the cops and told them what was going on and they said they would check it out.
About five minutes later, the cops show up at my house with the two "missing" kids. Turns out, his friends told him a bunch of stories to freak him out about Profile Rock. Then, they went into the woods and pretended they were getting killed. The kid was so mad. I thought he was beat up his friends right in front of the cops. The cops got a kick out of it.
Not really a ghost story, but I thought it was funny.
I also live about two miles away from a state forest. Freaky stuff happening in there.
