Great Washington’s Ghost!

So I've been running recently in Valley Forge park in the evening/twillight hours just before sunset.  It's WAY less crowded and very peaceful and calm.

I enjoy it.  I still want to join that gym but I just feel like I would get antsy working out in a gym.  I LOVE great wide open spaces.  I especially love Valley Forge park.  I kind of hope that one day when I meet a lady... she'll be keen on doing something wedding related there.  If not though... that's cool too.

But anywho yea I do love that park a lot.  Also the gym costs money and the park is free.  Soooooooooooooo... For now I'll stick to twilight running in the park.

Well... ok so a few nights ago I was just sitting watching the stars come out.  It was nice and peaceful.  I went back again tonight and watched the stars again.  I found a nice little spot that seems to have no traffic and be just great for watching the sun set and the stars begin to glow one by one.  I just sit there and reflect and tonight I even decided to say a small prayer.

I'm going to try and go back to that spot as often as I can.  After I left there I went and wrote some at Barnes and Noble.  It was a good evening.

Soooo here's the thing about that spot.  So when I say try to go back to that spot... I really mean... I'm going to have to try.

Well... when I was there a couple or few nights ago or whatever it was I was sitting on this stone rock stair walkway thing... I was just kind of looking up at the stars and looking out into the distance... THEN...

BANG.  There was a STOMP of what felt like and sounded like a boot next to me.  I jumped up and looked around.

Seriously... nothing.  No one... I'm pretty convinced it was some kind of ghost or something.

Well so I went back tonight and was sitting on the other side so as to avoid the boot ghost.

I'm just sitting there hanging out.  Then I hear what sound like footsteps in the grass next to me coming up and over one side and past me.  But they don't go past me... they stop right next to me.

I sat for a little while longer waiting and listening.  But didn't hear anything further.  A little while after that it was getting super dark so I decided to head back to my car.

I'm going to go back a third time maybe this weekend or one night next week to see if I hear anymore footsteps/feel any more boot stomps.

I'll report back if anything comes up!
