Ghost stories as told by Dad

Nancy the Dog

Grammy Grace's dog must have been around 20 lbs.  She used to let it out to do its business.  This was in the wintertime.  There was some snow on the ground.  People say some big bird must have come down and grabbed her.  But there were no marks in the snow where a bird of prey would have swooped down.  Just the dog's tracks that went out in the snow and stopped.

It was starting to get a little darker.  I summoned my friend Roger Bowles up there, and we went all around the buildings of that farm.  We went all the way around in several circles, but there was no sign or tracks except for where the little dog's tracks stopped.

It's like you said, the Virgin Mary ascended bodily to heaven.

We never saw that dog again.
