When I was about 12 years old I had a dream shortly before Halloween. In the dream I was out trick-or-treating on Halloween night. I was in this overgrown woody area in my neighbourhood running away from a house a couple of blocks away from where I lived. I realised that I was running from the ghost of a woman when I saw her come flying toward me. I woke up in a cold sweat.

That December I found out that the house that I had been running from in the dream belonged to an older woman. She lived alone and didn't have any family in the area. A friend of my mother's was delivering Christmas cookies and found her dead in the house. They estimated that she had been there since about August. I don't actually believe in ghosts, but it was very strange.
