Spooky True Stories

I love Halloween!  It's fun to dress up and pretend to be someone else for a day, but really I love the spookiness of Halloween.  I wish I could say that I'm tough and don't scare easily, but I pretty much do.  Funny thing is, that doesn't keep me from trying to find scary stories and I'm all about the local legends.  It seems that teenagers always know the scariest places in town, so when I was teaching at Hillcrest and Bonneville in Idaho Falls I figured it would be a perfect time to find out some spooky stories about Idaho Falls.  So for class on every Halloween I had the kids write me some scary stories.  The rules were that the story had to be true and had to have happened to them or someone they knew.  I also wanted the story to be about Idaho Falls or the surrounding area.  Well a few of the kids took it seriously and seeing that it's getting close to Halloween I thought that I might share a few of those stories here.  Some of them I have to recall from memory because I don't have the papers anymore.  Anyways hope you enjoy!  PS~If you have any spooky stories I would LOVE to hear them in a comment!!!!  Remember the rules, it has to have happened to you or someone you know and preferably about the area you live in.

Today's story comes from Kelsey at Hillcrest:
The cemetery up off of Sunnyside (in Ammon Idaho) is supposedly haunted by a little girl.  And when you walk through the cemetery at night you will hear singing in a tree.  One time me and some friends were walking through it and we saw an open grave and when we went to look inside we heard a little girl giggling.  It was so scary we just left.  And I've heard other stories about people who have actually seen her. (As a side note I've done a little research about this cemetery and there are a few stories about it.  Some say it's a little boy, but all say that she sits in a tree by her grave and waves at people as they pass by.  A few of the other students in other years have mentioned this cemetery as well, so there you go!  SPOOKY!)
