Graveyard Ghost

Now, a cemetery is an obvious place to look for ghosts, but this is a sighting none the less. Last winter I was visiting relatives in a different town. My family and I were driving from my aunts house very late one night. The city we were in is up in northern Canada so it was absolutely freezing out. We were chatting and listening to the radio like any family does during a car ride. We turned onto a long street that lines the whole graveyard in this city, when all of the sudden my sister noticed the speedometer was going haywire. The dial on it was spinning around continuously for no reason what so ever, and there was nothing actually wrong with the car, and we were still driving at the same speed. We were all very puzzled at this when I spotted something out of the corner of my eye in the graveyard. I looked and it was a woman just standing in the graveyard starring at the road.

The woman didn't seem to be illuminated but I could see her very clearly in the darkness. She was short, had shoulder length hair, and was wearing just a dress despite the bitter cold. We finally passed the graveyard and the speedometer went back to normal. We have never had any trouble with it since. Now your probably thinking the woman in the graveyard was just a visitor, or perhaps a caretaker; but her presence did not make any sense because no visitors are supposed in the graveyard late at night. The gates of the graveyard were closed tight, and I did not see any vehicles parked in the driveway. The final reason for me to think her to be of the supernatural was because she was wearing just a dress in the freezing weather. But what I really wonder about is why this spirit had stayed; had something terrible happened to her? Was she trying to communicate with us? I guess I'll never know because no one has seen her since.
