THE GHOST

Old people used to tell us, children, about the phantom that walks at night all around the Haller Castle. They used to say that there's a lady in a white, long dress that wonders  at  midnight in the castle and in the area near the castle. It is said that the woman had a child when she was alive and killed him by throwing him in the well in the castle's yard. She was cursed to never find her peace for this horrible deed. We were all scared, of course, but we had no fear when it came to walk at night on the road near the castle.
Me and a friend were coming one night from the local club. We were in my friend's car. When we arrived near the road that leads to the castle, I froze. Right in front of my eyes I saw a white figure crossing the road from my right side to my left, where the castle is located. I couldn't say anything for a few seconds, my mind was trying to realize whether that was true or a product of my imagination. When we got near the castle my friend stopped the car. I was in shock, but I told him in a few words what has just happened. He didn't believe me, so he turned the car and we went straight to the castle's ruins. He thought he was being very brave. But when we arrived in the castle's yard and he saw we were surrounded with tall grass and he opened the car's window and he listened to that creepy silence, he decided it would be best to turn the car and leave that place.
I couldn't believe my eyes! The legend about The white lady was true! My grandmother smiled when I told her what I saw and said to me that I should have known better she didn't lie to me when she told the legend.
I have visited the castle only once since that night, but I did it during the day. It's not scary in the daylight, it's quite beautiful, all that ruins that make people wonder how was it like to live in a castle!
