Ghost Story Of The Hound Of Goshen
The ghost of a dog that has come to be known as the Hound of Goshen haunts the five mile stretch of old Buncombe road that runs between the Ebenezer Church Cemetery and the Goshen Hill Plantation. The ghost of the dog is said to be a extremely large white dog the size of a St Bernard but not a St Bernard. People have described it as looking like a very large white hound. The original road here was a stagecoach route between Ebenezer Church and the township of Goshen in Union county South Carolina.
People claim that you will be driving thru this area and that no matter what speed you are going the dog will be running beside you. If you stop it will be setting in front of your car. Some people have claimed it throws its head back and howls.People have been seeing the Hound of Goshen now for 150 years. There are usually several reports of people in the area seeing it every year. It seems it is seen more in Summer than Winter.
One legend says that the dogs master was buried in the old Ebenezer Church cemetery and that the dog followed his master to the graveyard where it lay on his grave until the dog died of starvation. It was then buried beside its master. Some people say the dogs ghost is seen because the loyal dog is still looking for his master. And that is the ghost story of the Hound of Goshen.

Yes over the years I have saw many ghosts and I know them to be very true. I have met many of my realatives who have gone on and I know them to be true ghosts not demons or some other bullshit.My Grandmother on my Moms side has appeared to me many times and scared my father to death for a number of years. They did not like each other in life and she cotinurd to terrorize him in death. She appeared to be tied to some of her belongings that were stored in my fathers closet and when they were removed she did not appear as often. - 2 years ago
- Why are there spirits roaming the earth? Does this means that there is no heaven or hell?
I really believe that the spirits or ghosts you see here on earth are trapped here for various reasons. i also believe that shadow people are also ghosts of deceased people and not demons. We may never be able to prove it but I know for a 100 percent certainty that there are ghosts here on earth with us. I have seen them all my life and so did my Mom. Check out the links on my profile page to our stories here on Hub Pages.I also believe that there are some people who can see ghosts and paranormal activity while other people can not. I don't know exactly why that is but I believe it. And I really feel better knowing that spirits do exist. I know for a fact that something exists after physical death and I have studied it all my life. - 3 months ago

- You Do Know That Exorcisms Really Do Happen Don't You?
As a researcher involved in research involving ghosts and other paranormal activity I find it amazing at how few people know that exorcisms are real. The Catholic Church currently has many priests who have been trained to carry out exorcisms and they carry out many exorcism rituals every year. And that the movie, " The Exorcist " was based on real events. - 2 months ago
