Ghost Stories

 

            Do you believe in ghost? Or do you believe in there exists another world? I did not believe it until one day something happened.
             It was a beautiful day. My boy friend and I went out to do something fun. I remember that it was a sunny afternoon. We just watched a movie, and then my boyfriend decided to go to a dam which was 30 minutes away from the town. When we got there, it was getting cold, and the sky was getting dark. We crossed a hanging bridge which ran over the water because we wanted to go to a small temple. When we had almost gotten to the end of the bridge, suddenly my boy friend asked me to run. At first I did not know his purpose, so I just turned around and said, "Are you afraid to cross a hanging bridge?" He did not answer me. One or two minutes later, he said that he wanted to go home, but I got a little bit angry because we had been there for a few minutes, and we had not done anything interesting yet. Anyway we got in the car, and finally he told me what he had seen. He had seen a little girl sitting on the top of the bridge, and swinging her legs. She was wearing a black dress which was only for dead people. Suddenly a wind started blowing and I started screaming.
             I never went to the dam again after that day. Now I know there are many unexplainable things, and they are really in the universe.
