This is for Shappaw's scary story contest:
There is this old building in town that was always said to be haunted. Used to be an asylum or hospital or something and now is a nursing home. My brother and my mom play gospel music and went there to play one day for the residents. My brother was talking to one of the nurses and said he had always heard the place was haunted and wanted her thoughts on it. She told him this story:
One night during a rain storm one of the elderly ladies kept yelling for the nurse to come in. She went in and the old lady kept saying she was hearing gunfire. The nurse told her it was just the thunder and that it was raining outside, nothing to worry about. Later, the old lady yelled for the nurse again demanding that she heard gunfire. Nurse again explained it was only thunder. This happened several times back and forth but the old lady insisted it wasn't thunder. Then the nurse walked out into the hallway... and at the end of the hallway she saw a man (apparition) dressed in a civil war uniform... he turned and walked away and had a huge gaping gunshot wound in the back of his head! Freaky!
