Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

This happened around 15 years ago while my husband still lived at home. His family had just built a big six car garage attached to the house. It did not have electricity yet, inside or out. They also owned their own business so they had many vehicles to park in and outside the garage.

One night it was his turn to pull the last truck into the garage. It was a three door. He was pulling his Dad’s truck into the side with just one door. He turned the head lights from the truck on so he could manually open the garage door.

As he was at the garage door he had the feeling of someone watching him from behind. He turned around to look and saw someone standing behind the truck door, which he had left open. But…he only saw a face through the window. Nothing from the bottom of the door down. It faded into nothing. He said he thought it looked like the face/head was an orange or red color which he thought maybe was from the dome light inside the truck.

He wasn’t much of believer, so at first he thought one of his friends was joking around. When he walked around and could not find anyone he shook it off, thinking it was his imagination.

He pulled the truck into the garage and did the same thing, left the head lights on while he walked to the back of the truck to close and lock the door. He felt that same feeling, someone was watching him. He turned around, slowly, right at the moment he turned completely around, that head popped up from in front of the truck, looked at him for a couple of seconds and then screamed at him. He said it was the most awful, unimaginable, indescribable scream he has ever heard. He could not describe what it looked like. He ran out of the garage as fast and his legs could carry him.

When I talked to my mother-in-law later that night, she said he came in white as a sheet. My husband has a medium olive color to his skin. He was fumbling around and would not talk to anyone. For months after that he wasn’t himself. He also would not go in that garage for a long time and when he finally decided to brave it someone had to be with him.

To this day he does not like to talk about it and he can’t really watch scary movies. He’s now a believer but we have no idea what that was.
