Years ago, I read this story about a a ghost on South Shore Drive. I am trying to find details about the story, but can't find anything at all. From what I remember, and my memory could be wrong, some guy was cutting down a tree at 16XX South Shore Drive, Albert Lea, MN and ended up cutting off his hand...or maybe it was his whole arm. They say you can still see the hand..or arm..searching for it owner when you drive by at night.
I know someone who lived there who has creepy stories about a hand grabbing him. I told him the story and he had never heard it. I went to google it and could not find anything. Has anyone else heard this story? Can anyone share the correct ghost story?
Thanks!

The link states the following story:
n the crisp Minnesota autumn in 1979, Dave M. And his family moved into an empty house, nestled along a windy stretch of road just outside of town. The blue two-story house blended in naturally with its natural setting.
Dave felt uneasy about moving into the place, he felt uneasy and had bad feelings in certain areas of the house. They decided to give it a try. In the beginning they knew that the past owners left in a hurry and left a lot of furniture behind. They departed in a hurry and Dave had a bad feeling of the entire place. He had bad feelings in the attic, basement, garage and a bedroom. He always felt like someone was watching them. His wife's sister often babysat and at times she caught moving shadows from the corner of her eye. She felt too uncomfortable to stay and sit anymore.
One evening Dave's wife felt compelled to check in on there two sleeping sons that were sleeping. She opened the door to discover her oldest son in the crib standing up with his eyes wide open and searching the room. The youngest son was asleep in the other crib. She asked why he was up, and he replied that he did not want the hand to get his brother. He was serious about a floating hand that came out of the floor and wanders the room. He was afraid it may get his younger brother. The Mother thought that he was just dreaming, but was concerned. She had not seen anything, but her son was serious.
This was never brought up until two weeks later when the son asked both parents of when the hand will come back? That made Dave wants to find a new home. Kids don't lie at age two and made him believe that he really did see something. And they got out!
Years later in June of 1987, they moved into a home not far from the house. The kids grew older and Dave's wife encountered other women at the schoolyard in a discrepancy of their two kids. They sat down to talk and settled the thing, and then just conversed. They got to know each other and found that this woman and her family is now living in the same house. She did not tell her anything of her experience, but asked her if they encountered anything weird? The woman told her of a night that freaked her and her husband out. Her daughter was sick with a fever and she lay with her that night to comfort her in the same room Dave's sons stayed in. She then said that she dozed off and woke up to see a mist in front of her. She stared at him and could make out a man as a dark silhouette standing before her. His murky features were vague, but it was of a man in a ghostly form. Then he reached out his arm toward her, which seemed very real and solid. Then she heard his voice saying "Look at what I have done". This scared her to shake in fear. He became quiet and then repeated the same quote. She lay silently next to her daughter and then sprang out of bed and out of the room to leave until she realized she left her daughter. She turned on the light and it disappeared. She got her husband and searched the house and found nothing, but she believed it was real.
After Dave's wife heard this she just turned white and knew it collaborated with their experience that no one knew of. They eventually moved out. And years later I was talking to a woman who lived there in the sixties as she was growing up and told of her history of a girl that rode their school bus and talked of that house being haunted while living there. I tried to investigate the matter to see if there were any deaths in the history of the house. I asked a lady friend that worked at the courthouse and she got interested. She was searching until her boss caught on and said to stop. So we never did find any history on it, but I love the story.
A reply to the story from gie_reese
I can't believe that I found this story! Believe me or not, but I lived in that house since I was 2-3 until I was 16 (I am 25 now), I had to call my dad, and print out the story for my mom. She remembers talking to the woman at the park. As for the events that had happened, my mom has told me about the man in the bedroom and the holding out his hand, all he was saying was "look" and she said it was like he has blood on his hand. My dad worked nights so when she woke up hearing the footsteps, and seeing a figure of a man she assumed it was my dad, at first, but it wasn't.then when she closed her eyes, and looked again, he was gone. As for me, I have never seen anything, really. But I have had the feeling of somethings there, I never liked going to the basement, just walking by it scared me, when I was doing laundry, I would make me sister or brother come down with me. I always had the feeling like I got to get out of here- or the urgency to run up the stairs. Also one night I was home alone, in the living room. My dad and my sister when to Walmart. I was on the phone with my boyfriend at the time. We had just got a dog, and she was outside. I heard a big thud, it sounds like someone was on the roof. The motion light came on outside and the dog started barking. Then the banging started, it sounded like someone was jumping on the roof, hitting the sides, of the house, and it wouldn't stop, my boyfriend was on the phone with me and he could hear it. I got so scared I looked myself in the bathroom and started to cry. I called my dad on 3way, I was to afraid to hang up the phone. The banging continued for like 7-10mins all around the house. But as soon as my dad pulled in to the driveway. It stopped! He searched around the house, even got on the roof. There was nothing. Even telling this experience gives me chills, and almost tears. That's how scary it was. After that, nothing, besides the eerie feelings. But I refused to be there at night alone, without every single light on.
