Heard rumors of the ghost of Virginia Hall? I had too, but didn't believe any of it until I came across this picture my sophomore year here at Mary Wash. A friend of mine was living in Virginia Hall and needed some floor boards replaced due to wear and tear. Before the workmen came by to fix everything, my friend and I were checking out the damage and a floorboard broke. We dug up this picture from underneath - proof of the supernatural at Mary Washington.
Have you ever read Harry Potter? Then you must know about Moaning Myrtle. She haunts the girls bathroom in the Hogwarts castle. Well, this young ghost represented in my picture, is Moaning Myrtle's sister. Creepy Catherine roams around the street in which she got killed by the same snake that instantly killed her sister Myrtle. Catherine hides around the street during the day, but when the sun goes down she comes out and haunts all the villagers.
Every time I go over to my friend's house, I keep catching glimpses of this guy looking in through the window. The only problem is that I never see him actually in the window, I only see him in the mirror looking through the window. Weird right? My friend swears she's never seen this "guy looking through the window in the mirror before" and thinks I'm a little crazy and paranoid that people are watching us. Well this time I managed to take a pic with my phone that got the window without anyone in it and the mirror with the guy creepin.

We were driving down a long, dark, country road looking for an inn where we could stay the night. Out of nowhere there appeared a little girl who ran out in front of our car. She was wearing a cute little sun dress, but she appeared to be completely alone. There were no adults anywhere to be seen- and when we tried asking her she did not respond and ran away. We looked for her everywhere but could not find her.

A couple was walking through the woods one day at twilight. The sun was setting behind them as they strolled when they heard rustling in the fallen leaves beyond the path. Looking to the left, they saw a shadow run past them. The young boy's red shirt was a blur as he ran and hid behind a tree. Peeking out from behind the trees, he smiled at the couple and waved. Stunned and scared, the two ran out of the forest and straight to the nearby police station. On the bulletin board just inside the precinct's doors, they saw the same little boy smiling down at them, red shirt and all.
Back in 1897 Jack was left behind when his family got run out of town. His parents were into dealing drugs, gambling their money away, etc. Jack was always forgotten, never attended school and always on the streets. Late one night Jack was at home alone, waiting for his parents to come home from "work", hoping to be fed that night. Three weeks later his parents never showed up. Little Jack didn't survive much longer. He was left in this abandon run down house with no food or water and too young to know what to do.

Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was rarely realized outside of her published works in the 1930's, with the greatest example being Howard Roark of her novel *The Fountainhead*. His construction of buildings came from his purpose alone, not conforming to the desires or norms of society. Rand is back to haunt the abysmal reality of life.
While traveling through Brazil I stopped by a tourist town called Campos do Jordão where I visited Palácio Boa Vista - a mansion where government officials often stay. Many years ago, my grandfather worked for the Brazilian government and often took his family (including my mom) on trips to stay in this mansion. My mother has told me many stories of her times there, including ones of strange events that she witnessed while staying there. I had never witnessed any of these events and always thought my mother was just trying to frighten or intrigue me.
I was walking across campus with an old black and white camera when I dropped it. I frantically tried to catch it, but failed. But I bumped it as it fell, and the flash went off. This is the last image on the roll- looks like there is something strange going on there in the bottom left, is that a person?
