：门廊鬼影
Back in the early 1980s my aunt lived in a house that was literally located in the middle of nowhere.It used to really creep my younger brother and me out, but we loved to go there because my aunt had four children.
在上个世纪80年代早期，我姑妈家住的房子基本上可以说是位于荒郊野外。那是一个曾经使我和弟弟毛骨悚然的地方，但我们还是喜欢去她那儿，因为姑妈家有四个孩子。
The house was very old, and it had all wooden floors. There was always an uneasy feeling when you were inside. For the most part not much happened that was out of the ordinary when we were there. There were a lot of noises during the night, though. On several occasions I heard floorboards creaking, as if someone were walking around. Most of this seemed to be coming from upstairs, and sometimes in the hallway downstairs that connects the front of the house to the back rooms. Sometimes I also heard a thumping sound from upstairs at night. The thing is, no one stayed upstairs ever. There was just a spare room, a bathroom and some small storage spaces up there.
这栋房子已经非常有年头了，地板都是木制的，只要你呆在里边，就总会感到有些不自在。尽管在夜里有这样那样的叫声，但是我们在那里呆的绝大部分时间内并没有发生什么不正常的事情。有好几次，我都听到地板在吱嘎吱嘎的响，好像是有人在上面行走一样，这种情况下大部分是从楼上传来的，有些时候是来自楼下连接楼前楼后房间的走廊。但事实是：楼上什么人也没有，那里只有一间空房，一个洗手间，此外，在上面还有一些不大的储藏间。
My aunt’s room was downstairs, and we all stayed in a room down the hall from hers. I told myself that the sounds were caused by the wind, or the fact that the house was so old, and really never thought twice about it. I refused to ever go upstairs though. The thought that the place could be haunted never really crossed my mind. I just thought it was a creepy old house. That is, until one night in particular.
姑妈的房间在楼下，我们几个都呆在她南面的那个房间里。我经常告诫自己这些声音是由风引起的，或者是因为这些房子年久的缘故。虽然我不愿意到楼上去看看，但我真得是没有考虑过还有别的原因。我觉得这只是一所让人不寒而栗的老房子，真得从来没产生过房子里会闹鬼这样的想法。但是，在一天夜里，出现了特别。
Bedtime had come a long time ago, but us being kids we stayed awake and goofed around for a while. Eventually we all fell asleep. This night I seemed to have a lot of trouble staying asleep though. I kept waking up periodically for no apparent reason. On about the fourth time waking up, I thought I felt a poke on the heel of my foot, which is what woke me. I rolled over and looked around the room, but nothing was out of the ordinary.
那天夜里，早就应该睡觉了，但我们这些孩子们仍然很清醒，在一起又玩了一会。但最终，我们还是都睡着了。不过，那天夜里对我来说是有点麻烦，老睡不熟，无缘无故的隔一段时间就醒来一次。在我第四次醒来时，觉得好像脚跟被戳了一下，接着我就醒了，我翻过身来，打量了一下房间，没发现什么异常的。
I lay back down and tried to go back to sleep. After I had lain there for about 5 minutes, I started to hear a tapping sound. I listened for a minute, and that was when I realized that the sound was coming from underneath my bed! I was too afraid to look under it, so I just tried to ignore it and go to sleep. After it did it for almost 10 minutes, the tapping suddenly stopped. What happened next I will never forget for as long as I live.
于是，我又躺回去，抓紧时间睡觉。在我躺下不到五分钟，就开始听到有轻轻的叩击声从我床底下传来，吓得我也不敢下去看，只好置之不理，继续睡觉。就这样过了足足十分钟，敲击声突然停了，而接下来发生了一件令我今生难忘的事情!
There was a lone window in the room, and that night the curtains were pulled back. I was facing the window, and just moments after the tapping stopped, a white transparent figure slowly moved past the window from right to left. It seemed to be walking on the front porch, which covered the entire front of the house. The figure appeared to have a glow to it, kind of like the moon has. Needless to say, I was horrified. I froze in terror, with my eyes fixed on the window. Fortunately I didn’t see it again. I tried to rationalize what I had just seen, but I couldn’t. We were in the middle of nowhere! There were no roads, no cars, no nothing, just a long dirt road and a bunch of trees. Everyone else was asleep, so I was the only one who saw this. I was too scared to sleep after that, so I just lay there for the rest of the night. The next morning I was thinking about what I had seen, and I remembered that sometimes my aunt would hang clothes out to dry on the front porch. This must have been what I had seen, right? Maybe it was a sheet or something. I asked her at breakfast if she had left any clothes out on the porch last night. She said she didn’t dry anything at all yesterday! There was no other explanation for what I had seen. Honestly, I really didnt think a sheet could have looked like that, anyway. This thing’s movement was too animated to be a sheet. I guess I just wanted to think that.
这间屋子有一个很高的窗户，那天夜里窗帘没拉上，而我就正对着窗户。在敲击声刚刚结束的瞬间，一个白色的、轮廓明显的身影就慢慢地从右向左经过了窗前，看上去好像是沿着前面的门廊走了过去，房子的前面都用这种门廊遮盖着，这个身影看上去带着跟月光一样的亮光。毫无疑问，我被吓呆了，我愣在那里，两眼直勾勾的紧盯着窗户，幸运的是，我没有再看到他。我想给我刚才所看到的找一个合理的解释，但是，我做不到。我们是在一个荒无人烟的地方，这儿没有公路，没有汽车，什么都没有，只有一条长长的土路和树丛。当时，他们几个都睡着了，而我是唯一一个看到这个影子的人，第二天早上我还在琢磨昨晚我看到的那一幕，突然想起来姑妈有时候会在前面的门廊上晒衣服，是不是我看错了呢?也许，那只是一张床单或者其它什么的。于是在吃早饭时，我问姑妈昨晚上她有没有在前面门廊上留下衣服。她说昨天一天她什么也没有晒!我再找不到什么可以用来解释我所看到的这一切了。说实话，不管怎样，我打心眼里也不认为床单看上去会是那个样子，床单不会像它这样活生生地动啊!我觉得也许我只是那么想而已。
：死亡城
A few years ago when I was 18, I was dating a girl from Edinburgh. Now this place has quite a lot of history so ghost tours are common but one stands out as being famous due to the fact that it has an extremely well documented case of a poltergeist called the Mackenzie Poltergeist. After having read the book written by the founder of the City Of The Dead tour I was really looking forward to going on it.
故事发生在几年前，那时我刚好十八岁，正在跟爱丁堡的一个女孩约会。当时，这个地方的鬼怪旅游就已经具有很长的历史了，开展得也非常普遍，但是其中有一个与众不同的地方非常有名，因为这里出了一个叫做麦肯斯的闹鬼，并且据说对这个鬼还有着非常充分的考证。在拜读了景点【死亡城】创始人所写的书后，我由衷地憧憬着能到此一游。
The tour starts off by taking you around Edinburgh and telling you stories of certain parts, but it all kicks off when they take you into a place called the covenanters prison. In this small cemetery is the Black Mausoleum where the poltergeist is. Many people have felt cold spots in this tomb and have left the tour only for cuts and welts to appear later. Part of the tour is for all of the participants to be locked in the tiny mausoleum for ten minutes. Now while I was in there I felt things touching me and heard scratching noises on the walls and ceiling of this sandstone tomb. While this wouldnt be uncommon, what happened to me after I left that still scares me.
在旅游开始时，他们会带着你绕着爱丁堡转转，向你介绍一些景点。只有当他们将你带入一个叫做【神圣盟约监狱】的时候，旅游才算真正开始，这是一块面积不大的墓地，这里有一个叫做【黑陵】的坟墓，里面就住着那个闹鬼。在坟墓里，许多人都会感到阴森森的，里面的磕磕绊绊也往往吓得他们提前结束游程。在游览中有一部分内容是把游客关在一个很小的墓穴里，让他们在里面呆十分钟。当我被关在这座用砂岩砌成的墓穴时，感觉到有什么东西一直在碰着我， 并且还听到在穴壁和顶部有【唰唰】的擦划声。如果这还算是正常的话，那么在我走后所发生的事情至今还让我心有余悸。
After enjoying the whole thing I left the graveyard to return home to the flat but as I was exiting the cemetery I felt something come with me, a heavy kind of feeling, as if there was something on my back but not physically. This continued all the way home which was quite a long walk. When we got there we were the only two in the house, save for the cats, or so we thought. It wasnt long before I felt something in the house with us, like the presence of a man standing in the kitchen. Im quite sensitive to these things so I knew it wasnt my imagination.
在参加完所有的旅游项目后，我就离开墓地回家了，在当我走出墓地的时候，我感觉到是有什么东西跟我一起走了出来，并且好像是有什么无形的东西压在我的后背上，这种感觉非常强烈。尽管回家的这段路非常远，但是这种感觉在路上一直就没间断过。当我们回家后，除了几只猫外，屋子里就只有我们两个人，至少在我们看来应该是这样的。但就在我们回家不久，我却感觉到屋子里还有什么东西跟我们在一起，感觉上好像有个男人站在厨房里，我对这种事情是非常敏感的，因此我觉得这决不是幻觉。
Making my way towards the kitchen, carrying the cat because the girl wouldnt come with me, I stepped into the hall. Now the one thing you should know about this house is that it always like a furnace, but the cold spot in the hall actually took my breath away, it was freezing! I refused to go any further and went back to the bedroom to sit with the girl. The scary thing was that she isnt very sensitive to things like this but she described to me something she felt standing in the hall and it matched the description of the man I felt in the kitchen. This scared the utter hell out of me because what I felt was a tall man, with long greasy hair but I couldnt make out his face.
于是我就直奔厨房，由于那个女孩不愿意跟我一起去，我就带着那只猫，当我进到客厅时，突然感到这个地方冰凉异常，我吓得大气不敢喘一下，你可知道，这所房子一直以来就跟个火炉似的，而现在却冰冻寒冷。我不敢再前进一步，于是又回到卧室坐在女孩的旁边。而可怕的是，这个女孩这时竟然也感觉到好像有什么东西在客厅站着，而她对这种事情向来是不敏感的，并且她所描述的跟我所感觉到的完全吻合。这下我可真是给吓得魂飞魄散，因为我所感觉到是一个高个男子，披散着长发，头发上满是油污，但我一直没法辨认出他的模样。
To this day I still have no idea what followed me home but I was terrified and Id rather not find out.
直到现在，对于究竟是什么跟我回了家，我仍然一无所知。但，我很害怕，我更希望永远都不要知道。
