The Night In A Haunted Cemetery!

Just a small bet between friends became the fright night of our lives. A small group of teens decided to make a bet with their four friends to spend the night at a known haunted cemetery. The bet wasn't for much, but to us $20 was a big chunk in our pockets, so we accepted, thinking it couldn't be that bad. I was one of those four. We made up some excuses for our parents so they wouldn't think anything of us spending the night out.

About 6PM as the sun was setting, the four of us wandered to the cemetery. We all were full of pride, because we kept thinking nothing bad will happen to any of us. We all started to look for a place to spend the night. A nice tree would be nice, and we all had sleeping bags, food to eat for the night, flashlights, and etc. We were full of excitement as night headed in. We didn't really believe all the hype about the cemetery being haunted. We finally found a nice place to settle down for the night, and with just a short bit of sunlight left, we were able to set everything up.

As night fell, in the distance we could hear an owl hooting, which sounded rather eerie, as the moonlight cast weird shadows upon the headstones of the graves. We had been told that we had to walk through the graveyard during the night, that we just couldn't sit there. So off we went walking from one grave to another. We still weren't scared, however the eeriness of the night was rather somewhat ominous. All of a sudden we heard this very loud screeching sound, and all of us jumped as it was a bone chilling noise. We found out later it was the owl we had heard earlier, and he been frightened by something.

We saw a white figure floating above one of the headstones, and we wanted to get closer if we could to see what it was. As we got closer, the figure seem to turn and stare at all of us for a moment, then sort of floated away. What was strange is we weren't able to distinguish if it was a male or female, it certainly wasn't a person.

It was definitely a ghost or spirit! I think we were more curious than scared at this point till it started to swoop down on us, and screeching this terrible ear piercing sound. What a horrid noise, it sounded like this thing was in agony. It continued the swooping down upon us, and screeching as if to tell us something, however we were too scared to think about what it might want. We all seemed to be just standing there, like a 'deer stuck in the headlights of a car'. That is called the flight or fright syndrome. It reached down and grabbed one of our shoulders, and then we started to run.

We ran, and ran...finally getting back to our sleeping area. Well, you do realize that no one was going to sleep on this night, we would be just happy when the night finally passed. The ghost did not follow us, however, it kept on screeching those horrid screams. I began to wonder if somehow it was in some kind of pain. It is quite curious to think spirits or ghosts can even feel pain.

Well we decided to lie down and try to rest, since we had time ahead of us before we could leave, and some already wanted to leave. We heard other eerie noises in the night, some were the owls there, others sounds were hard to distinguish what they were, although they certainly were unsettling. Time was passing, and soon the sun would be up, and we could leave. We did keep hearing the sounds of the ghost we saw earlier, but it didn't come back near us. We were happy about that one for sure! I think we all must have fallen asleep because of a sudden it was morning, and we all could go now. WE HAD WON THE BET!!
