Tell Us About A Creepy Ghost Story Or Legend From Your Hometown

The world can be a pretty scary place, and often you don't even have to look that far to find a scary story. In fact, I'm willing to bet many of you have a pretty good ghost story or legend from your hometown.

For example, maybe you and your friends never dared to go into the woods behind your neighborhood when you were growing up because there was a legend that a "witch" roamed out there looking to snatch kids up.

Or perhaps there was a big abandoned mansion on the far side of your hometown that everyone swore was haunted, with some people even saying they saw strange activity there every night.
