The Goblin Story
First off let me tell you that I have NEVER done drugs or any achoholic substance. I've never even smoked. On top of that I have never had any sort of mental illnes.
Experiance 1
This particular night I had trouble sleeping. I got up and got a glass of milk and stepped out side in the back of our house to get some fresh air (my room gets stuffy). i walked to the end of the ally and looked out at the wheat field and water tower (we live at the edge of town). I hymotised by watching the gently blowing grain when somthing moved in the corner of my eye on the water tower.
Now this water tower was mabey 210 feet tall and 50 foot wide. The water storage area was shaped sort of like a hamburger or Flying Saucer form a side view. Sort of an oval with a gradual upward slope. Anyway I was about a 200 yards away and I saw 3 little shapes running about of the top of the tower. I first thought they were repair men or somethingbut hey were to small. I went back to my garage and grabbed my dads binoculars ( he's a bird watcher). I went back and they were still there playfully romping about on the water tower. It took me a second to find them in the binoculars. And when I did I neary dropped them. I saw little wicked looking little creatures in dark colored clothing. They would run towards the steep edge of the tower then run back to the top. Apprently they were making alot of noise because two men from the fire station driectly below the tower came out but they were to close to see any thing. Soon they dissapeared on the other side of the tower. As I! ! walked to my house my mind was racing. I decided not to tell my parents until I knew what it was. I guess it could have been a group of midgets or dwarfs( I know that sounds funny, but thats the only thing I could come up with. I took a shower and when to bed. Needless to say I didn't get any sleep.
Experiance 2
The previous incident happened June 16, I remember it like it was yesterday, the second one happend the following happened they following January. It was dead winter and my parents were going to see a movie. It was 6 pm and it was already getting dark. I wanted to get out and go do something but there was considerable snow on the ground, and I was bound to get stuck in the snow driving my little Nissan. So I called my best friend Danny and asked him to pick up some other friends of ours and come over. We ordered pizzia( which was a crule joke in making the pizza guy come in the snow) and played poker adn watched scary movies. But we DID NOT do any sort of drugs or alchohol. My dogs went crazy a few times. They were barking at the widow. After a great time from which I had lost a great amout of money. The guys had to go at about 10:00. My parents where still gone( they when to a Sunday school party after the movie) I was waving goodbye to my friends outside. I sunddenly heard ! ! crunching snow like someting running. I saw somthing for a second but the fog from my breath distorted my vision. Instantly I remebered the summer incident. And for some reason I started to grow angy. I went inside and grabed a Baseball bat and my jacket and called for my dog. My aim was to have my dog tear the little demon or ,whatever it was, to pieces or I would bash it's head in, or even both. As I approched the are where it was I I saw little foot prints that were quickly dissappering due to the falling snow. But the thing that chilled my blood was little hand prints on the outside of my window.
I know these experiances sound quite fantasic, but it you have abetter explination, or a similar story e-mail me at matthew@amaonline.com
We are a Scottish American family some most of my relatives are "experts" in folklore. I have talked to my uncle who dosent belive me. But he said if it was true he would thing the thing was a goblin. I don't know what to think. I guess it's as good an explination as any.
