Ghost in the wall
I love to read local ghost stories, I don't believe in ghosts but I do like to scare myself by reading about them.

One night I was walking alone from the student union, must have been around 11pm. I'd had a few drinks and was taking the short walk back to my accommodation down a street that was supposedly haunted. I'd done this many times before and never had a bit of trouble. However on this night I encountered a peculiar sight. I saw, what appeared to be, the legs of a man in formal trousers emerging from the overgrown ivy walls of an old building.I sped up assuming it was some smack head or drunk messing around but as I passed the trousers I recalled a story I had heard of that street. A formally dressed Victorian gentleman had supposedly been seen to emerge from the walls on occasion and stalk passers by.

At this point I became freaked out and began to run down the street. Smack head or ghost I didn't like the idea of being followed. Red in the face and out of breath I almost ran straight into a group of tourists as I turned the corner onto the next street. They asked if I was ok and I told them that I'd seen something strange in the ivy, to which the group leader burst into laughter.

They were on a ghost walk and the guy hiding in the ivy was an actor.
