Coal Field Ghost

by Adam Zwolinski
(Wanamie, Pennsylvania, USA)

The location of my story is in the woods behind Wanamie, PA which is an old coal mining town. The woods are endless. I ride my dirt bike through the woods all of the time. One afternoon as I was riding through, I looked up ahead of the path and I saw a man walk out of the woods and right to the center of the wide path. This man was dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt, and oddly enough a miners helmet with a light on it. I stopped my bike and shut it off. As I did this the man turned and stared at me. We stared at each other for what seemed like quite a few minutes but was really no more that 40 seconds. The man after staring at me, turned and continued across the path and into the woods. When he hit the tree line I started my bike and rode up to where he was. When I looked in the woods, no one was there whatsoever. I looked into the woods and shouted is anyone there and got no response. It didn't surprise me in the least. That general area was big into anthracite coal mining for a few hundred years. I'm more than sure that people were killed in those mines and the spirits are not at peace at all. Overall it was a different experience. When I discovered that no one was there when I rode up I got so freaked out I didn't go near that particular path for about a month.

I am amused to see these types of posts which mentions about ghost encounters. To be frank, I never have had any experience of such encounters. I have visited places which boast of such inhuman presence. But never have seen or experienced any.

I have been all through those woods when I was a boy.And have seen & felt thru my body very positive energy. And there use to be a place (bar,brothel) across from the
Newport Township Police Dept. Where I first encounterd my first.This was we used to get high and skip school. It was a very well constructed dwelling. 3 floors basement,main ballroom,
2nd floor was all sleeping quarters. (A lot of them).Anyway, during one evening, I was confronted by a SPIRIT...(Frank) and was really wanting to know why all of us were being disrespectful to his place. My grandfather worked in these mines his whole life,and drank hear. Just wanting to know the history of this place.I am 49 years old now,and still have no idea what happened in that basement that evening.

by: jason tabino

On this date of 2003 July 17th at 11:48pm me and my buddy James Norcross were parking behind the cemetery which we were taking our mountain bicycle out of my truck and somehow suddenly when I turn around and noticed there was glowing bright colors that I haven't seen anything like this before but I didn't hear because I am deaf and also my buddy James is deaf too. We both saw some strange bright color as if it was a train light but there was no train track on that property but we can't tell what it was, but anyway there was a bright colors that was hoovering around in the cemetery. and we both looked at each other and starting to puzzling and can't think of what it was and the light was about to get brighter and brighter as violet as arc color it was bright blue and kind of purple and we started to freak out and putting the bike back in the truck and took of with my truck. have anyone of you seen this experience before??

There's been other sightings in the woods up in the area, which means the facts support you just like I do.
