My best friend at the time, Ryan, and his girlfriend wanted to go on an adventure to said haunted places. As we started on this journey; our hearts beating in time the his rusty engine in pure adrenaline; headed for the place mentioned thousands of times through high school and middle school.
A circular building/farm or something that was haunted. I can't recall the tale of murder or death, but the "round house" was terrifying to my classmates as a result of illegal shooting at the building. With the slightest breeze, the building would echo a terrifying scream-like noise. To our disappointment, the building had been torn down a few years before.
Ryan enthusiastically suggested the "coffin house". He described the building as old and boarded up, conveniently located beside a cemetery and difficult to enter because of a cop who lived nearby.
Ryan, his girlfriend and I ran up the hill and walked beside a green, garbage filled stream. (I'm pretty sure the stream was almost a solid mass it was so polluted.)
The house has also been torn down, but the "coffins" remained in a half circle around where the house used to sit.
Kinda like this; scary right? |
These square containers couldn't be longer than five feet and they made of thick grey cement--close to four inches thick. Many of them had decayed on the corners and you could see inside--if your head didn't block all the light.
Ryan starts looking inside one with his flashlight and he starts yelling, "Oh my gosh guys, I think there's something in this one! It looks like something is scratched on the inside! I can't make out the words. Someone must have scratched in it with fingernails or something.
I am a skeptic, because clearly these weren't coffins. I take his flashlight and get on my knees, peering into the dark cement box where a skeleton should be rotting.
At first I see it too. There seemed to be writing and it kind of seemed to shine in the light of the flashlight. Suddenly this skeleton turned into an alien form leaving a message for us. I shove the flashlight as far as the decaying cement would let me and I see----DUCT TAPE.
That's right; my idiotic friend confused the grooves in silver, bent duct tape to be writing from an undead creature.
