Yeah, supposedly, the ghost of the dead children are pushing your car. I guess that explains the hand prints on my car.

If you every go to San Antone, ask a local on the south side where the tracks are. It's pretty creepy.

Kind of a funny / spooky story:
Once, while stationed in Vandemberg, AFb, California. I was posted in a truck outside the fenced area of a TITAN IV missile area. (we had a luanch that day, adn the thrust blew over the perimeter fence)
I was reading a magazine or something..the next thing I know, I heard a slight scraping of claws on metal underneath the truck, by the axel. You know that tingle that goes down your spine?
Yeah....I tried to calmly tel myself it was most likely a damn racoon..and put the truck into nuetral and let it roll 30 feet before jumpig out w/ my m-16 at the ready..didn't see anything...knew it wasjust a critter, but with all hte 'ghost stories' in the area..middle of the night....heavy fog....yeah...

And yes, my best friend really DOES exist, unlike most people's. Anyways his family is into channeling the spirit of some "holy guy" that lived in Mexico in the early part of the last century and they have this shrine in shed out back where they do it. And in that shed, they have a statue of one of the virgins in the catholic religion whose hair REALLY GROWS!! Im not sh*ttin ya man, I got up to like six inches away from the damned thing and I cant tell you how it happens. All I know is it does. I saw this in my 20s, just in case youse all think I was a kid.

Oh peep this out:

But it was much closer than anyone had seen it over the summers. We could see a beam of light shinning from the ship down to the ground. What we saw was a rectangular shaped light on the ground & the possibility of it shinning through the window was out as the room was dark. When we looked up in the sky infront of the light we saw the object with an orange light shinning from it but NO BEAM shinning from it to the ground. Just the same colored light on the ground & the same colored light coming from the ship or object. We knew it was coming from the object as there were no road lights or any other sources the light could've been coming from. Plus it was exactly the same orange colored light on the UFO & the light on the ground was perfectly lined up with the UFO even though the UFO was at a reasonable height off the ground.

So you think it could've been a tracking device or some sort of infared? I think it could've been just waiting for someone or something to cross the lights path. I still wonder what would've happened had my friend walked directly into the light on the ground or thrown a rock or something into the light spot.

Yes I was scared but still very curious.

kbm8795 you just mentioned again the Ohio sightings in the mid-1960's. Very interesting as the Kecksburg Pennsylvania case I mentioned that I saw on are-run of Unsolved Mysteries from around 1990 that UFO had passed through Ohio before it crashed in Kecksburg Pennsylvania on December 9th 1965 (mid 1960's).

Yes the hypnotic treatment reveals quit a bit. But you are right that not all of them could mean that someone was abducted.

& the lost time factor is something I have seen a lot on tv or read about.

Vieope okay no probelm. I'm sure though if you had a sighting experience you'd see things differently. Just keep your eyes in the sky & maybe you will see a UFO. I still keep my eyes in the sky almost every day. Sometimes I think I've seen it again, but it turns out to be a plane.

I really don't know much about the function of the lights other than what I have seen presented at this conference - I would think that since sightings come in different shapes, the lights could have a different purpose. Since I'm not really trying to decide whether these things are true or not, I haven't ventured much into speculating about those kinds of details.

There does seem to be a difference between the stories people have told about sightings and about abductions. The Los Angeles Times reported a couple of years ago that a woman who claims she has had an "abduction"...actually, they prefer to be called "experiencers" now (an interesting, less-shocking term), recounted her stories under hypnosis. Again, there has been a lot of debate among scientists about the validity of those kinds of stories - and there is a lot of discussion about theories involving interdimensional travel and/or kinds of mental conditions that could have produced those experiences.

I think the significant thing about the UFO phenomenon is that public opinion polls indicate more support for their existence than other supernatural phenomenon (like ghosts, voodoo, etc.) and that there seem to be sightings (like the one you reported) both during the day and the night that have been seen by lots of people. At the same time, the government has spent a lot of money and manpower over the years debunking those claims, which is focused on UFO sightings. They don't spend that kind of money or show any interest in other unexplained things.

Of course, there are the explanations that at least some of these could be military aircraft, but yet reports starting in the early 1950's were often generated by both military and civilian pilots. How the stories are handled in the media, which is my area, indicates that there were situations in which local press accounts of sightings differed from those reported in the larger media - which, according to one author, indicates cooperation with the government under national security concerns.

You have an interesting story - especially since it was witnessed by so many others on several occasions. At least you have something you can talk about with friends and pass on to your children.

Uh.....believe it or not, that story was actually covered by one of the Dallas TV stations as part of a halloween thing on their 10:00 news. They put a car on the railroad tracks, and sure enough, it rolled over. They then went and sprinkled white talcum powder on the back of the trunk and man lemme tell ya....you could definately see something that looked like kids hand prints on that car. I swear. Like I said, it was on the news at 10.

Do ya think that encourages more people to go out to those tracks late at night? It would be pretty weird to see little handprints on the back of that car. . .so is the story about the ghosts of those children trying to save the car from the tracks?

Can we avoid the personal attacks please, there is no reason for it and this is not the place for outletting aggression by trying to demean others.

For the fellow ghost freaks, a new thread maybe should be started. Yes its an open chat forum and sometimes topics go astray but if the thread starter wishes to see it stay on topic thats fine too. I'd split the thread but I think it would take some of the UFO related posts with it.

Yeah the story was about the ghosts of those children and it is downright spooky when you see those hand prints. I mean....I just snapped my head back and went DAAAYYYAAAAM!!

From what I hear a lot of people go to those tracks to see for themselves and I have yet to hear of anyone not coming back in shock. But I know I sure as hell would never go see for myself. I would totaly come unglued if I saw that for myself.

That same week they had other stories and one of the other that I remember was about this supposed "large human like bird" that was creeping around Houston or San Antonio, I believe. They interviewed several people and all reported a large humanoid bird like thing that attacked a camper trailer.

When my mom saw this story, she freaked. She remembered reading something in the Mexican papers about something similar being caught and killed when she was a young girl, and she says she will never forget the "face" of the creature. This was the 1940s, so... Now Mexico is infamous for having no censorship of the press. They have newspapers that show graphic images of dead and mutilated people if they are part of a story, so I believe they took a picture of whatever that thing was and published it. And I mean she downright freaked!

Metal V Player what I have written aren't stories. There reality sorry to disappoint you but I don't lie. I don't even see the point of you being here in this thread than to cause trouble. It's obvious you have no interest in UFO's. What you have written sounds more unbelievable than my reality experience.

kbm8795 what do you think of all the non sense in this thread lately? As for the lights I think the different colored lights do different things. With this particular UFO I only would see that orange light. & maybe what I saw on the ground some sort of tracking light.

Mudge, this was not a personal attack I was giving the ol boy a compliment and having fun. I called him a closet conservative. Has that term taken on such a severe semantic meaning at IM that it raises above all the other uncensored liberal inflamatory statements to warrant its sole chastisement? Why no appeal to reason when he consistently interjects his terse barbs on other posters? This is an "open chat" forum not a moderated debate with rules.

Let's just keep to the 2 topics at hand everything else is wasting space. If you don't like the subjects in the thread than don't reply. It saves space.

I remember that a saw this, it is supposed to be the more accurate footage about UFOs ever and I saw a documentary about the ghosts in the trails tracks too. I still have no explanation for the hands yet.
