They were walking along the railroad tracks. Then they heard someone following them.7<\/a> They heard footsteps. They thought, maybe they\u2019re going home too. They would wait, they would stop, and the footsteps would stop. Then they got scared. \"Maybe they\u2019re going to rob us.\" Then they ran, and the footsteps also ran. Then they saw a shadow, just like a person.\r\n\r\nThey had almost reached their house when the man got mad and said to his wife, now I want to ask him 8<\/a> something.\r\n\r\nWhy are you chasing us? Then he quickly ran toward the shadow, and he charged through empty space. There was no person there, only something like an empty cloud. That\u2019s how a ghost bothered two people on Halloween night.\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
