Asheville, North Carolina Ghost Tales One day back in the 70's my husband and I were visiting his sister who had just moved to Asheville and was renting an older home off of Merrimon Avenue.  We pulled up out front and when I got out of the car I looked up and saw the image of a face looking down at me.  I saw no hair and the face was turned sideways looking down so I thought it was someone who had just gotten out of the shower and was peeping out to see who was there.  After telling my sister in-law what I had just seen we all went upstairs to look around.  No one was there.  I went back outside to see if it could have been the way the light was hitting the window and didn't see how that could have been the case.  I have never seen anything like that before then, nor have I seen anything like that since.  When I see a movie or a special on ghost I notice the indentions and darkness around the eyes and I think to myself that is just exactly what it looked like.  It was an experience that I will never forget.  My sister in-law had some unexplained things happen to her as well, and did not       live there long.  I can't remember the name of the road, but it was right next door to the home of Miss America in the 60's.
