The cemetery is> located in the country, at the top of a hill. With the river bottom> just below it. History puts an Indian tribe there back in the early> settlers times. According to the stories I was told as a kid, there is> an underground tomb, they say that this tomb opens at night, and if you> go into this tomb and don't get out before the sun comes up you won't> ever come back. Some of the stories that are associated with the> cemetery is that people go out there and when they go to leave their> car won't start, or they leave their keys in the car for a fast get> away and come back to no keys in the ignition. People who lived in a> house that over looked the cemetery in the 70s used to talk about> hearing children playing in the cemetery late at night, or seeing them> run around in the grass playing.> Our first visit to the cemetery was really uneventful, we had a feeling> of uncomfort, or not wanted, but as far as seeing anything, we didn't.> Our second trip was a little more eventful, as we sat under a tree just> listening to the different sounds, and about ready to call it a night,> I seen behind us moving towards us, a mass, or something like that, it> is really hard to explain what I seen, and at the moment I couldn't> explain it, it left me speechless, all I could do was point and attempt> to get the others to look at what I was looking at.Suddenly it> disappeared, and I got this over whelming feeling of danger. I felt as> if, if we didn’t get out of there right away something bad was going> to happen. So we got out of there, and even as we were driving away I> still felt very uncomfortable, I had a feeling of something wrong. I> had a feeling that something was going to go wrong. And I was right, as> we pulled onto the highway, my brother noticed that the car felt> strange, he pulled over and sure enough, the tire was almost flat. We> went back into town and put air into it, but it was still losing air.> And, the spare was flat as well, well this could be a coincidence, but> then again...maybe not.Another trip at another time, but during the> daylight hours. My car was running just fine; I hadn't had any trouble> with it at all. We drove up the gravel hill and parked like we usually> did. When we got ready to leave my car would not start, luckily my> brother had jumper cables in his car, so we got it started. We decided> to visit another cemetery down in town. Again my car would not start> and we had to have it jumped, but the clock was flashing 1:00, now> usually when you unhook the battery or lose connection or anything like> that to that clock, it will flash back to 12:00, but this time it> didn't, that was really kind of weird. Once I got back home, and parked> my car I tried to start it and it started back up with no problems.> Well I figured after driving that far it was most likely just running> on the alternator, so I got up the next morning and went out and my car> started right up... Weird?We hadn't been back to the Cemetery in a while,> better than a year. So> we decided to go back last night. As usual we parked our cars the same> as we always did, we pulled our keys out of the vehicles just to be> safe. Last night was a very interesting night. We ventured in and at> first we just stood around. We decided that we would have a seat and> wait and watch. (The temperature in town was 84 degrees; we noticed> that when we stopped to get something to drink.) Suddenly you could> feel the temperature change, a crisp cold feeling then a warm feeling.> Sometimes one or the other of us would get the feeling that something> was playing with our hair, one of the boys with us freaked out when it> felt like something was raising the sleeve of his shirt. One of the> girls with us felt the cold feeling standing next to her, and she> reached out to touch it, and she said it felt like a tingly feeling in> her fingers, sometimes we felt like we were being surrounded by> something. You could feel cold air on one side of you, yet on the other> side was still the same warm temperature. Well we decided we would go> to the car and get the Oujii board and see if what we were feeling> would communicate with us. We took the board back to the same place we> were previously. As 2 of them were sitting facing each other with the> board on their lap, they got the feeling that something was pushing> down on the board, even though you could see that neither one of them> were putting any pressure on the board at all, they said it felt like> something was trying to move the board rather than the curser. Then> something kept touching us, I mean really touching us, something> pinched my neck, and my son said it felt like an ice cold hand touched> his shoulder. Then at the same time everyone felt like a thump come> from the ground. We stood up and shined the flash light on the ground> and we didn't realize that there was a very old tomb stone under us, we> had never noticed this stone before, it was basically level with the> ground, but it wasn't a field marker it was shaped like a tomb stone.> Was a very interesting night, strange but not scary to us.> > _________________________________________________________________> Create the ultimate e-mail address book.
