The grave yard scare

My friend Charles and I were relaxing on the couch one night in October. We were watching a movie, but the movie Bagan to bore us. We decided to go and check out a cemetery, it being a dark and cloudy night with a full moon. We got some clothes on and headed out to the local cemetery, on the way, we chatted about what we may encounter. The roads were clear, as most people were asleep, considering it was 2:30 in the morning. All we could hear was the sound of a slight breeze blowing through the trees and some coyotes howling off in the distance. The walk took about 45 minutes, so by the time we got there, we were already tired. So when we arrived, we decided to sit on the bricks that made up the entrance decor. We just sat there for about 15 minutes catching our breath and chatting about how odd the cemetery looked. It was very dimly lit, the grass was cut neat, but dead in some spots. Some graves were broken and tilted sideways, and there were several trees growing miss on them, hanging off the branches. Charles said with a certain confidence. " I never understood why some cemeteries have trees, you would think that the ever expanding roots would eventually lift the grave sights and ultimately destroy them.

" Yeah, I never understood that either, I would rather have no trees for that reason and so that I could see all through the grave yard to better enable me to keep a watch on grave diggers."

After chatting a bit more, we decided to walk around and explore. We viewed each grave and tried to make out what the head stones said, although some where to damaged or faded to read. We came across some from the 1900's and some from the late 1800's, so it was quickly becoming obvious as to why the cemetery looked so creepy and dark.

After about an hour of walking around and looking at all the different headstones, we decided to sit down in the dead center of the cemetery and relax for awhile. For hours, we began listening to the sound of the slight breeze blowing in the trees and coyotes off in the distance, just howling away. Suddenly Charles stated that out of the corner of his eyes, he saw what he thought was a dark figure with red glowing eyes. This being a creepy place with a creepy vibe I thought he was just kidding to try and scare me. I gave a slight giggle and said " Haha, I bet you did". He replied with, "No, I'm not playing, I really did. It had to have been at lea..." But before he could finish, the figure once again showed its self and I got a full view of it. It had red glowing eyes, it was around 7 feet tall and appeared to be just a black mass shaped into a human figure. I was scared out of my mind. I turned to look at now frozen in place, Charles and screamed. " We have to get out of here, this thing could really hurt us." He nodded in agreement with a terafiting look on his face. We slowly got up from the ground and began to exit, but when we turned and looked behind us for the figure, we saw that we were being chased. The figure was floating very fast toward us! So we took off running as fast as we could, but we were just to slow, the figure easily caught up to us. We screamed as loud as we could and started running in different directions. The figure followed me as I was running for dear life. I tried taking sharp turns, jumping fences, jumping over cars, anything I could to get away, but all was useless, the figure stayed right on top of me. I ended up running into a church that so happened to be unlocked. Once I entered the church, the figure stopped at the entrance and would not enter the church. I finally felt save. I frantically pulled out my phone and tried to call Charles to see where he was and if he was ok. After 3 tries, he answered with his voice sounding scared and out of breath. He told me where he was and I instructed him to some how to find a priest and bring him to the church. Luckily he was friends with one, so he searched through his contact list and found him.

15 minutes later, Charles and his priest friend showed up, with the figure still stalking me at the entrance. The priest broke out his Bible and began to read from it in some form of language that I had never heard. What ever he was saying to that thing, it worked.

It began to thunder and the wind picked up significantly, and the figure began to grab it's face with its mouth wide open. It did not make a peep, but slowly vanished in to thin air, spiraling into what appeared to be an invisible vortex that had began to open up and suck it right in.

After it had vanished completely, we told the priest what had happened and how it got here. The priest told us that we should never go into a grave yard on a nite like this because demons tend to come out to explore and to play their evil games on nights like this. Charles and I agreed to never do that again, as we were lucky to be alive after that encounter. We shook the priest's hand and thanked him for coming out at such a late hour and apologized for waking him up. " No problem." He said with a smile on his face. " I been looking forward to put my training to work and now I know I can do these things, maybe I can make a career out of this." We all laughed for a few seconds and parted ways.

Suddenly I woke up out of sleep, looked around and there was Charles passed out on the couch, snoring like a bear. " Was that a dream. I didn't even know I had fallen asleep." I thought to myself. I looked at my watch which read, 3:45 am. " Wow that was a nightmare!" I quitly said to myself. " Or was it!?"
