Geez... Whatever it was, it would've scared the hell out of me.
I have to say, despite living in the "most haunted country in the world", I tend to think along the same lines as Ditch... There are no ghosts. But I'm still fascinated by them. I realise there's a lot of weird stuff that goes on in the world that's never going to get a rational explanation. Sounds like your experience was of them. Half of me wants to see something like that, the other half is content not to!
We have another local "haunted" area that some people don't believe is haunted per se, despite apparitions and weird noises. Like you guys, they don't think they're ghosts, but some weird time-travel dimensional thing. Bara-Hack Settlement: Pomfret Nestled deep in the forest of Eastern Connecticut, this paranormal gem has been reporting activity since the 1700's when it was founded. It certainly isn't called the "Village of Voices" for nothing. Visitors have reported hearing a wide variety of spectral sounds, ranging from children laughing to horse-drawn wagons. This abandoned village has even been rumored as an influence for The Blair Witch Project. The site consists of a main "downtown" area – basically a congregation of foundations. A path branches off here, leading to an old cemetery. Here lies the most commonly reported ghost of Pomfret, which witnesses can only describe as a baby sitting in the elm tree that towers over the small graveyard. Strangely enough, this baby has been consistently seen since the settlement was founded. An explanation has been offered up as the cause to Bara-Hack's haunting, although it has nothing to do with ghosts. Some say the walls of time are thin here, making these woods an actual window to the past.Now that's somewhere I'd like to visit... But why would a ghost baby be named after a fish?! I would've gone with Horace myself.

I would've gone with Horace myself. When I first read this I had absolutely no idea what you were talking about. I thought what's he mean, they don't mention the baby's name. I read back and then thought oh he thinks the baby's name is Pomfret, he doesn't realize that's the name of the town. But what does Pomfret have to do with fish? I asked my wife who attended the snooty Pomfret school if she knew...nothing. So when I Googled it I realzed you were just making a joke and I totally didn't get it I had never heard of a pomfret fish. I learned something today!

Yeah... "Ghost of Pomfret" as in of the town or of the person. Could resist that one.
Anyway, why'd they name a town after a fish...?!
