[00:12.71]And A Ghost Will Follow You Home
[00:20.98]鬼魂随你回家
[00:33.03]In 2004 three friends and I
[00:36.33]headed from Tucson to Tombstone for the day,
[00:40.41]as two of my friends were from RAF in England
[00:44.17]and had never been there. It was also my first trip also.
[00:49.46]After hitting a show,
[00:50.91]taking a picture where you dressed up
[00:53.22]in clothes from that era,
[00:55.27]we headed for a bite to eat.
[00:57.84]I think we ate the Long Horn's Restaurant.
[01:01.05]The four of us grubbed and after drinking
[01:03.33]lots and lots of ice tea,
[01:05.32]the only other female and I hit the bathrooms.
[01:09.53]The bathrooms were like regular bathrooms;
[01:12.65]two of them, each with their own separate room,
[01:16.64]including door, sink and toilet in one room.
[01:22.09]I took the one to my left.
[01:24.39]There was a weird¹ sign on the wall in the bathroom,
[01:28.01]it struck me as odd, it read something along the lines of:
[01:32.82]If you don't wash your hands you can die!
[01:36.69]And then proceeded to explain
[01:39.08]how a girl died of some disease.
[01:42.16]Of course I washed my hands,
[01:44.64]but when I did I had this overwhelming
[01:47.84]feeling like someone was watching me.
[01:50.54]I felt very claustrophobic,
[01:52.92]which is abnormal² for me
[01:54.35]since I only get that feeling in large crowds.
[01:58.38]I shook off the feeling
[01:59.72]since the bathroom was small and cramped,
[02:02.61]and met back with my friends
[02:04.61]and we drove back to Tucson.
[02:07.28]The next day, after returning home from work alone,
[02:11.16]I found my kitchen cabinets open,
[02:14.24]as well as my dishwasher.
[02:16.55]It was strange since my roommate
[02:19.14]at the time was staying somewhere else
[02:21.77]and nobody was there besides my dogs.
[02:25.27]All night long my dogs kept barking,
[02:29.50]their stares always in direction of the kitchen
[02:32.83]but they wouldn't step foot in there.
[02:35.52]Which was very weird,
[02:37.56]as this had never happened before,
[02:40.38]and the kitchen is where I kept their food and water.
