Where it happened: Miamisburg, Ohio on Old 25

My name
is Sylvia Lewis. The strangest thing happened to my 15 year old son Josh and me
last night. We are both totally convinced that we saw a ghost.
We live in Miamisburg, Ohio. I am 34 and have never seen a ghost in my life.
When my son was about 3 or 4. He claims to have seen one at my mom's house. He
was very descriptive and never changed his story as a toddler and even to this
day remembers the same things.
Anyway, last night, (Sunday, October 26th, 2003 at almost exactly midnight- 3
minutes before), we were driving down Old 25, in Miamisburg, Ohio towards West
Carrollton. To be even more specific it was about 30 seconds past Richard St.
We saw a man cross the road from the left to the right.
I had to slow down to let him cross. My lights were right on him. He had on a
tan fishing hat, khaki pants and a construction smock with reflectors on it. We
could not see a face or feet/shoes or hands. He was scurrying across the road,
not appearing to be touching the ground. He was kind of bent over and his legs
were moving slow but he actually moved sort of fast. His legs were definitely
not moving fast enough to get him across the street that quick.
When he first crossed I thought he was just looking the opposite direction of us
because I did not see hair or skin or a face. We thought it was weird for
someone to be walking out of the woods near the river with a construction smock
and fishing hat on at midnight. We both looked at each other as we started
realizing it didn't look like a real person. I immediately turned around to go
back and check him out and he was no where around that area. From where he
crossed and the direction he was going, he would have had to cross into an open
field near a factory or walk down the road which was also open (no trees or
place to hide). We should have been able to see him but we did not. We even
drove around that area and did not see him.
We both were describing to each other what we saw and again realized there was
no face, hands or feet and he walked really weird across the road.
We would love to know how to find out if there are any other sightings of this
person or if there was any type of accident at that spot.
My son and I just went to the Ohio State Reformatory two days before this
happened. We love stories of hauntings and we both believe in ghosts. On top of
that, it is less than a week before Halloween. We feel like not many people will
believe our story.
We told my husband David and he did not believe us until we swore that we were
not joking and described to him in detail what we saw.
Please email me if you have any information similar to this.
We now have an update submitted regarding this story. We've had a run of confirmed sightings this month so of course We would be quite interested to know if anyone else out there in Ohio has seen this figure. If so... let us know!

It is funny that I happened to find this story, fishing for souls?.... on your web site.
During the day, a few weeks ago, I saw something that I thought was odd. My husband was driving down Old 25 towards West Carrollton as well, and from a distance I saw someone crossing the street from the left to the right.
Unfortunately, I did not pay attention to what the person was wearing, but I remember thinking that it was a busy time of the day to cross that street. When we got close to where he should have been, I didn't see anyone. I don’t know if he could have gotten out of sight that quickly or not.
Maybe
this was just a very brave person crossing the busy street and disappearing into
the wooded area on the other side of the road…or maybe this was the same figure
that Sylvia Lewis is describing. I just found this to be an odd coincidence, and
I thought I would share. I'll keep my eyes open and pay more attention if I get
the chance again!
Very cool story. Thank you for giving us an update! We would be quite interested to know if anyone else out there in Ohio has seen this figure. If so... let us know!
