Ghost or Intruder?

Posted by on May 18th, 2009

Penn Bullock Reports:

It’s a scene straight out of a horror movie. A little boy tells his soccer mom that he saw a ghost last night in his room, and that the ghost also visited his little sister. The suburbs are safe, the mother thinks, and my son was having a bad dream. Two weeks later, at 2 a.m. she stumbles on a man next to her bed, lying on the floor, making not a peep. He’s wearing all black and escapes like a shadow “‘without saying a word.” There’s an unknown lurker in Fishers, Indiana, and he likes to visit children in their sleep. Does he sound like the boogeyman?

A similar drama transpired in New York City in 1927. Two little boys were playing in an apartment building hall. When their parents came to collect them, both boys had disappeared. One of them was found minutes later on the roof of the building. He told the adults that the other boy had been taken by “the boogeyman.” The boogeyman was Albert Fish, the most gruesome child rapist/serial killer in American history. Nobody believed the boy about the boogeyman until it was too late.

Here’s a question: would you rather find a real ghost or a black-clad intruder in your house?

    If it's Robert Downey Jr. I'm okay with that.

    A real ghost everytime. Thanks for using my image. It's made my day. I remember reading about Fish as a youngster wasn't he the man with needles in his stomach?

    A real ghost every time. I read about Fish when I was a kid, he was found with a mass of needles in his stomach. Evil, evil man.

    Ghost. No question. Ghosts have never ever hurt anyone, just scared the bejesus out of them. Real intruders are never good.
