Ghosts Good Stories Continues [The Oklahoma, dated Feb. 28, 1972, pg. 13, written by Tom Boone]

Story No. 3 -- Mrs. Smith owns two horses and keeps them on the acreage where he home is. One day a couple of years ago she put some grain in the barn for one of the horses.

It went in to eat, Mrs. Smith said, "But something would chase it out again." The same thing happened with the other horse.

She was puzzled, but not concerned particularly. The, one evening as she was getting ready to go out, she began hearing the muffled sounds of gunfire outside.

"And there would be shouts as though there were a group of men," she said. "me, I was scared silly." Then, she said, there was a thundering sound as though a great many horses were running up and down the length of her house, right outside the windows.

When she looked out, nothing was there.

The sounds were repeated several times in the following months, but she never saw a thing.

Both Mrs. Smith and mrs. Funstrom called on Charles Rhoades for help. Rhoades, director of the New Age Center in Oklahoma City, is a firm believer in the existence of spirits and supernatural forces. he is, among other things, a ghost chaser.

"I go to a house and invite the spirits to leave in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost," he said.

Since Rhoades' visits to their homes, the women said, they have had no more trouble with univited guests.
