Nightly Walks

My name is Chris, and I am 23. I have a very good ghost story to tell tonight. 

This is a true ghost story, that happened a couple of years ago. I loved to take night walks to a friend’s house. These walks were about 20 miles long. Well here’s where the story begins, I was walking to my friend, Matthew’s house. 

It was pretty dark but I wasn’t afraid of anything or so I believed. I had gone about five miles when on the side of the road I saw something twitching around in the dirt. I ran over to see if it was an animal that had been run over by a car. I was surprised to see that it was no animal, but a chicken leg tossing this way and that.

 I bent over to get a better look and noticed something even more disturbing. The chicken leg had hair in its grasp, and it appeared to be human hair. I moved back feeling nauseous at this monstrosity, when I noticed that the chicken leg stopped moving. I had decided to continue my walk to Matthew’s house when the leg straightened up and went into an upright position. I just watched. Fear had taken over my body and the only things that I was capable of doing were breathing, standing, and watching. 

I got a hold of myself and began to run. I had run about 3 meters when I decided that it would be safe to turn around and take a look. The chicken leg was not where it had been. All that I could hear was a faint scratching noise. 

I looked around and could not see it anywhere, until I looked down. There it was coming straight at me and I was just standing there. I let out a scream, that could not be replicated by anyone, including myself, and began to run. Scratch, scratch was the only thing that could be heard along with a hair raising thump, thump. 

I would run a couple of miles without stopping but I’d have to catch my breath. I could not let out more than three pants before it was running my way, closing in with alarming speed. . The situation repeated itself every time that I would slow down. 

The 15 miles that I had left, felt like 100 miles. I finally reached a old deserted church but I could not see refuge in a place like that. I kept running until I finally reached a 24 hour convenience store. I turned my head, still running in the direction of the store, and noticed that the chicken leg was no more than six inches away from me. 

I watched it abruptly stop and vanish into thin air. I felt insane and completely unprotected. I was very eager to call the police but gave that one a second thought. 

Not only was I going to seem insane to myself but to the policemen as well. I decide to call my mother to come pick me up instead. I waited inside the store, not speaking to anyone, I could not stop myself from looking around the outside of the store in paranoia. 

My mother finally arrived and I practically flew to the car. My family members tell me that I was as pale as a ghost when I finally got home. 

I just sat in the living room thinking about what had happened and knowing that I would never forget.
