[QUOTE="CowboyBlue, post: 1312187, member: 16878"] In the category of "Best Place Names to Invite a Haunting," I would like to nominate Fort Phantom Hill, north of Abilene, TX. An abandoned 19th-century cavalry outpost, the ruins of Fort Phantom Hill, Lake Fort Phantom, and the Fort Phantom Hill Cemetery have numerous stories of the paranormal surrounding them. from [url=http://fortphantom.org/ghost-stories/]http://fortphantom.org/ghost-stories/[/url] : "One of the most popular urban legends is that of “The Lady in the Lake” which began in the mid 1940’s. A young woman named Mona Bell’s boyfriend had just returned from the war, and she was to meet him at Lake Fort Phantom, a popular meeting place for many love-starved young people in the 1940’s. Mona would know where to find her young soldier because he promised to flash the headlights on his car three times. The meeting went as planned, but as she went to embrace him, he flew into a rage: one of his best friends had told him (jokingly) that he kept his girl company while he was away at war. As the story goes, he wrapped his hands around her neck, strangled her, and threw her into the lake. Some of the witnesses of the day claimed that Mona was not dead when her body hit the water at the dam. They heard her scream, and the screams faded into gurgles where she finally drowned. Today it is said that “The Lady Of The Lake” likes to make your headlights flicker off and on while you’re driving, and she also surrounds your car with a dense fog that is only on your car. Those that have seen her say it’s a very hair-raising experience." [/QUOTE]
