It's Halloween! Share your scary story--funny or serious- here!

When we moved into our house, we didnt expect anything weird to happen. By the way this is a true story.. My brother was barely a baby, and i was only four. We heard sotries of an old lady who died in what was soon to be my brothers' room. But we we didnt mind. After a while, i made a new friend, but not from school or from some playground, it was the old lady. She would always play barbie with me, you know, those dolls that get annoying when you grow older because you always see their fricken commercials on television? I asked my mom what the ladys' name was, thinking it was one of my moms' friends. But she told me that none of her friends had come over that day. It repeated and repeated until i got a little older and ignored my barbies. Which was when my brother was barely starting to learn to walk. He couldnt get it right just yet. One day in the time my brother was learning to walk, my mom was doing some laundry. Then she heard a voice... "Go to the kitchen now.." it whispered. She ignored it, thinking it was just her mind telling her things. "GO TO THE KITCHEN!" it was loud this time, startling her. So she dropped her laundry and ran to the kitchen, where she had the fright of her life. My brother, who may i remind you, was just barely learning to walk, had picked up a knife that was facing his chest. He was about to fall! She picked the knife out of his hands and put it on the counter. We all know that the old lady who died had a liking to us. She saved my brothers' life, and she played with me when i felt lonely. I just wanted to say thanks to her. I always expected ghosts to be violent and angry, but she showed me otherwise....

One late night years ago when i was younger i awoke from my sleep to find my self creeped out by a eerie green lighting all around me. I got up from my bed slowly, not knowing what to expect and looked out my window to see what the cause of this ghoulish glow was. When i looked out the window i saw that the whole sky was an the same eerie green!!! I was not scared at first, just extremely confused by it. I couldnt keep my eyes away fomr it!!! I just kept staring adn wondering what it was caused by. Of course, you dont know me, so i will tell you that i was a very supernatural,horror, thrill-seeking lover, and that i hoped something would follow the creepy glow like a murder, not to me but , ya i guess you get it. Well i ended up going back to bed. the next morning I woke up to find my window opened. I wondered whether my mom opened it....so i went and asked, she went running back to room white faced and scared out of her mind. She said that something terible was happening, and not only to us. She said that nothign was working in the world. I was confused obviously, being no older than 15. She pointed to my alarm clocka nd said "LOOK!!!! Its not working is it, neither is the phoen, our car, the radios, the television, or any appliances, and thats only the beggining!!!" She picked me up and took me to her room where she told me to look out the fornt window. Slowly I walked over to one of the two windows in ehr room and gasped when i finally looked out, the sky was still green, no surprise, but also their were strange li9nes all over the streets, strange markings. I started to walk backwards and turned to look at my mother, "Where is daddy?" i asked, " I have no idea sweety, i wish i knew but i dont!!!" I could feel the tears wellign up in my eyes, this scared me even more than the green skya nd strange markings. i ran to my room for my walkie-talkie that my bestfriend Cherrie had the other too, "Cherrie!!?? Can you hear me!!???" i yelled into the walkie talkie, " Kaitlynn!!?? Im here, Have you loooked outside!!!??" she answered, "Yess!! And my father is missing!! Is yours??" i asked, "Noooo....?", she replied seemingly confused. My mother came back inot my rooma nd asked how Cherrie was, i said she wasnt missing her.

Hours later we realized mine was the only one missing. My father, David L.Reckley was cheif of the police station, and i was proud of it. how could my big, strongm police Daddy be the oonly person missing!!?? I thought back to the night, did i hear him during the night come home??? I decided to og ask mommy whether or not she knew whether he ever came hoem last night."No Kaitlynn Honey, he didn't...".Hmmmmm.... this could mena anything, it could simply be an accident that happened at work that we arent aware of yet since all the phones arent working at the moment. I told mommy this and she seemed to consider it for a moment but said yes, but your father called at nine saying he would be home at in ten minutes, so if their was an accident, it was on the way home and it probably wasnt discovered yet. I could feel the tears coming again and i turned around and went to my room to cry, I wouldnt be weak in front of mommy, not when she needed me the most!!!When i was done shedding my tears, i blew my nose and brushed my tangled hair, and then started the search for ym lip chap. while i did thsi i heard a blood-curdling scream come form what sounded like the kitchen downstairs. I started to run down the five four flights of stairs towards the kitchen. We lived in a four story high home, inherited by my great,great,great grandmother Josephine, very rich but crazy. She hung herself in our cellar, which i am never alowd to go, but went anyways, i can feel her the strongest down their, her ghost still walks these floors, im sure of it. Wheni got to the kitchen i looked for mommy, but there was no sign of her anywhere. i started for the hallway that leads to the library when I i heard a footstep behind me and the it all wnet black.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Two young women that are relatives, have recently had a miscarriage. One had no insurance and had to wait hours in the waiting room clinic. The other young woman, upper middle class, with medical insurance.

The woman with no insurance who I took to the clinic said that she was miscarrying. They told her to go home, cramping and bleeding and was told to have the miscarriage natural. While I was there, I brought the subject up to the Doctor. I said my mother's generation (80's) had a D & C when she miscarried. My generation (50"s) was told the same thing they told my mother. They said it was best to have a D & C to make sure all tissue was cleaned out so you didn't have to worry about getting an infection.

The other young woman with insurance was also told to go home and have the miscarriage naturally.

I admit I'm too cynical and I don't trust what Doctors are saying and I don't trust what the insurance says or does. I had 2 miscarriages which was emotionally traumatic. I can't imagine going through it naturally.

I've tried to ask different doctors why they are doing it that way. They said miscaring naturally was safer and healthier.

Now, am I nuts, or are the insurance companies and the hospitals trying to get out of paying for a D & C? Are there any doctors or nurses that I could actually believe, tell me whats going on.
