One night last year I drove my dog into the graveyard because my friend dared me to do it. But my dog started staring at a grave and growling. She just kept looking and growling. I looked out the car window but I didn't see anything around the grave and I didn't know why she was growling. I didn't see any animals around the grave. I expected my dog to stop growling at the grave but she didn't. The hair started to stand up on her back. So I slammed on the gas and sped out of the graveyard as fast I could. Do you think there was an animal there that I just couldn't see. Or was it something other wordly? It was only one particular grave she looked at.

It could have been something with that grave. That's really creepy your dog growled at it. I would have sped off too.

Wow! How terrifying! I wish you would have had a camera at the moment, so you could look back at it. On one hand, to give you piece of mind (saying there was a reasonable explanation for her growling) and on the other,(if there wasn't one) then you could at least have a great ghost story! I hope we get more posts like these, I'm a horrorbuff! Thanks for posting!

I would guess something was there that your dog could smell/see/sense that you could not---that sounds so banal. I oddly find cemeteries relaxing...
I do remember one weird experience that stands out; a friend and I were driving up and around and down a place called "Mt. Misery" (really an old labyrinth of sand and gravel pits) and, at the very same time, we both turned, and felt certain that the road was closing in behind us, very spooky at the time.
(another time, I was up there with friends---and we were approached by guys with baseball bats---supposedly looking for someone who "escaped" from somewhere---luckily, the guys with us were older and more intimidating [not in reality but in looks])
...I guess most areas with teens have a place like that...
And, there were a lot of abandoned mansions at the time along the north shore---probably all built up now---but those were fun, spooky,
with marble fire places, stairs to nowhere, things left behind...the feeling of something being "there"...

Where can I find me an abandoned mansion to live in? Brings to mind the Fear Street series I read as a kid, Tyler Fier's mansion and how he had to hide the fact that he was 200 years old and his face was peeling off.

Does your dog act like that around squirrels or other animals normally? That sounds like a really, really aggressive act. (Of course my bassets barely wake up when a squirrel runs right over the top of them ...) I don't know that it would have been a spirit, but something had your dog in a tizzy.

My dog is a dober dog. VERY aggressive.
