It's supposed to take the kids to the police station. Then the legend transformed into something else. Apparently, the van snatches kids and NEVER brings them back. When we were little, we used to play bball in the street. Somebody would be like "

there go the Brown Van!!!

" and everyone would scatter like roaches.

2. The "Bumpa Booty Buster" - Don't ask me how this one got started

. It's a hobo that catches kids off guard, pulls them into dark alleyways, then pumps them in the booty until they die.

I'm dead serious though. We used to be shook walkin past dark streets and alleys.

theres this "haunted" church where i live. story is years ago the priest would put kids in a hole in the stage and beat/rape them. some friends and iwent there one night and i saw the hole. we shone a flashlight down it and there were like chains on the wall. i'm not really into the whole"haunted" stuff, but i do believe if you let it happen your mind can definitely play tricks on you. but yeah just being there it was pretty creepy.

That's in a Hawaiian ghost book called the "Obaka Files"

[/font][font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Just south of San Antonio, Texas, in an unremarkable neighborhood not far from the San Juan Mission is an intersection of roadway and railroad track that has become somewhat famous in the catalog of American ghost lore. The intersection, so the story goes, was the site of a tragic accident in which several school-aged children were killed - but their ghosts linger at the spot. And the curious from all over the country come to this section of railroad track to witness firsthand the paranormal phenomena they've heard takes place there.[/font]
[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]The story - at least 20 years old - is the stuff of urban legend and its details vary from telling to telling, but this is essentially it:[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Back in the 1930s or 1940s, a school bus full of children was making its way down the road and toward the intersection when it stalled on the railroad tracks. A speeding train smashed into the bus, killing 10 of the children and the bus driver. Since that dreadful accident many years ago, any car stopped near the railroad tracks will be pushed by unseen hands across the tracks to safety. It is the spirits of the children, they say, who push the cars across the tracks to prevent a tragedy and fate like their own.[/font]

[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Even today, cars line up at the haunted intersection to see if the legend is true. The driver stops the cars some 20 to 30 yards from the tracks and puts the car in neutral gear. Some even turn off their engines. And sure enough, even though it appears that the road is on an upward grade, the car begins to roll. It rolls slowly first, then steadily gaining speed - seemingly of its own accord and against gravity - up and over the tracks. This has been tested time and time again, and cars really do roll up and over the tracks - every time.[/font]
[font=verdana, geneva, helvetica]But that's not all. The second half of this legend is that if a light powder - like talcum or baby powder - is sprinkled over the car's trunk and rear bumper, tiny fingerprints and handprints will appear - the prints of the ghost children pushing the car. Many who have tried it swear that indeed they can see the evidence of small children's handprints in the powder.




[/font]

Actually saw this on TV many many years ago and dude did put the powder on the glass and bumper ... and there were fingerprints

 

[ritch1088]

^ Yeah everybody I've asked has said they have seen the handprints and felt the car being pushed. In my two years in SA I have yet to try this.

On another note anybody from Houston ever heard of the West Oaks Ghost or something like that?

The Statue

Amy, a 15 year old teenager, was in need for some quick cash. Her prom dance was only 2 weeks away and her dress was very expensive. Thus, she agreed tobabysit her neighbour's kid. The Harrington's often went out for fine-dining, visiting the casino, etc, and what relief they felt when Amy acceptedtheir offer.

"Here's the keys and my cell number. There's money on the table for you to order something, oh and Bobby's asleep upstairs. Alright, be safe,and take care. Thanks."

"Yup, no problem Mr. Harrington."

When the Mr. and Mrs. Harrington left, Amy went straight to the money. She didn't bother ordering, she kept the money instead. Then, she helped herself tothe fridge.

After her meal, she plopped herself on the couch and popped on the TV. The Harrington's were odd folks, they collected many antiques and unique artifacts.Hanging on the walls were beautiful paintings of houses, people, and animals. Next to the paintings, in a glass case, were egyptian artifacts and oddities.Throughout the home was very much the same. But what really stood out was a life-sized statue of a clown in the corner. She couldn't help but notice thestatue as it was facing straight at her. It's soft, colourful make-up, outrageous costume, and it's eccentrically happy, almost evil smile frightenedher a bit. In the end, she decided to call Mr. Harrington for permission to move the clown because she'd be sleeping in the living room that night.

Upon hearing the complaint, Mr. Harrington was a bit startled. Then he immediately yelled, "AMY, TAKE BOBBY AND GET OUT NOW!"

"Why?"

"WE DON'T HAVE A CLOWN STATUE!"

But before he finished, he heard a scream, then the line went dead. Bobby Harrington also died that night.
