about 10 years now made Sergeant 4 years ago but at the time of this story I was just 2 years on working night shift Patrol I've been lucky that not a lot has affected me mentally anyway during my career I don't have kids that's how it gets to you usually you can build all the mental walls you Want but when you have an emotional connection with your kids and see something happen to kids the the walls mean nothing anyway this one stuck with me still makes my hair stand on end especially when it rains it
was September just after midnight I get put on a call of shots fired now normally these calls turn out to be either fireworks or perhaps a car backfiring but mostly fireworks so unless we get multiple calls on it or a confirmed Gunman or someone confirmed wounded we just send one unit that night it was me the shots fired was reported around a college football stadium this was during football season so there were a bunch of really big white tents set up all around the parking lots for Tailgators I notified dispatched that I was on scene
and started rolling through the parking lots casting my Spotlight here and there it was raining pretty heavily and hard to see about halfway through the Lots my Spotlight illuminated the silhouette of a man sitting in a folding chair under one of those big tents I pulled closer and lit them up up and notified dispatched that I was out with one in the parking lot his back was to me he appeared to be hunched forward as if his elbows were on his knees and his head leaning forward I walked towards him and started calling out to
him can't remember exactly what I said but something like hey man you okay you Heard anything strange can you come talk to me he didn't move or answer as I drew closer I lit him up with my flashlight I then noticed the outline of a shotgun on the pavement next to him combined with him not answering in the nature of the call it was enough for me to break leather and have dispatch hold the channel I kept calling to him as I approached asking him to show me his hands Etc 30 ft 20 ft 10
ft my handgun Glock model 22 has a Streamlight tlr1 Light on it so I had him lit up 6 ft under the tent with them 5 ft 4T I close on them come around to the front of them shotgun sords are difficult often if they put the barrel under their chin the blast from the barrel will blow the gun out from under the chin before the shot ever hits them there was a guy in my hometown that succeeded in a shotgun sord only because he did it in front of a pond put the barrel under
his chin pull the trigger Only managed to blow his face off Corner said he probably ran around screaming through the hole that used to be his mouth before he drowned in the pond this guy succeeded blew his head clean off you do this job long enough you noticed funny little details his elbows were indeed resting on his knees it was as though he blew his head off set the shotgun on the ground next to him and then leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees to think about what He done about that time I
noticed that even though I was under the tent with him it felt like it was still raining and then I looked up I'm the sole survivor of a roller coaster that couldn't be stopped for 12 hours last year I learned a lesson I will never forget trust your gut I had the day off from work I wanted to do something fun but everyone I knew was busy makes sense I mean it was a Tuesday I decided I'd just go to the museum park by myself I've done before and had a great time I'm a bit
of a thrill seeker well not too much anymore going 5 miles over the speed limit is about all the excitement I want out of life anymore I got to the park around 2:00 p.m. it was slow even for Tuesday it gave me a sense of excitement because I knew I'd be able to ride a lot of rides without having to be there all day at the same time it gave me a weird uncanny feeling all this Space and not enough people to fill it up I ignored the feeling and moved on I don't know about
you but whenever I go to an amusement park I like to work my way up to the really crazy rides I'll just start small and finish off the day with my favorite my favorite just happened to be called the Grim Reaper it feels a little too on the nose doesn't it it was 7:30 p.m. and the Park closed at 8:30 I knew it was time to get in line for my final ride I also made a new Friend while there we met staying in line at one of my first rides of the day we decided
after chatting the whole time time in line that we'd hang out for the rest of the day his name was Charlie we agreed on every ride that day except for the last he wanted to end the night on the Mind Bender but after some convincing AKA The Mind Bender's line was way shorter while passing by we decided to do the Grim Reaper last we got in line for the Grim Reaper and There was hardly anyone in line it made sense given that it was almost closing time do you think they will let us ride multiple
times if the line stays down Charlie said with his hands clasped excitedly in front of him I just smiled at him and chuckled normally I would have been excited too but something in my gut felt so off for some reason I didn't want to go out on one of my favorite rides maybe it was the five corn dogs I ate a couple hours earlier I Figured I'm a very rational person I wasn't the kind of person to let anxiety or worry rule over me I always thought life was just what you made of it when
we got in line there were about 60 people give or take the people in front of us did their ride and 30 of us were left in line people started looking at the time and saying they were tired and just getting out of line by the time it was our turn only 19 people were in line I knew the Ride well enough to remember that it held 20 people so if no one else got in line they really might let us go multiple times I really didn't want that though honestly I felt even more compelled
to get out of line after all those others did too I didn't want to seem lame to my new friend if I wanted to get off the coaster after one ride the time came for us to get on the ride my heart was pounding faster than it ever had I wondered if I was all worked Up because I watched Final Destination 3 with a friend a couple weeks back but I wasn't having visions of the terrible fate we would all face I was just feeling off I did everything in my power to get it to
all make sense and not to worry but nothing worked I seriously considered just telling Charlie I didn't feel great after the last ride but I finally found someone with my tast in roller coasters I didn't want to let him down we were towards the back of the Line so we didn't have much to say in where we sat we ended up in the third car from the front I was just happy we weren't in the front car as you get on the Grim Reaper it plays a Cheesy little jingle Nowhere to Run nowhere to hide
the Grim Reaper will find you dead or alive with music in the background that always sounded so dumb in the past I couldn't believe it was getting to me Charlie even hummed along to it while grabbing my arm with happiness we got in Our seats and an employee came by and pulled down the metal bar restraint there's a Ure us in our seats it was the kind that strapped you individually over your shoulders I'm on the chubbier side but I can always fit into coaster seats I've never been told I couldn't go on a ride
I'm just sometimes a little snug it's actually kind of nice because I kind of feel secure as we got strapped in I felt the plastic coated metal hit my shoulders and chest it should have Given me a sense of comfort and safety but I just felt trapped the employee walked to the station as the infamous big button that starts the ride he flashed all a thumbs up and yelled ready for the reaper everyone raised their hands and let out an excited scream except for me I let out a large sigh counting down the seconds trying
to imagine Charlie and I once we were off the ride and now happy we'd be the employee hit the button and we were off The coas are shot out of the loading station like we were a bullet being shot out of a gun after that it started on a relatively slow Ascent up to a point to a drop off a 60° a couple of twists and turns a big loop and some more twists and turns about halfway through the ride I was enjoying myself I was just thinking about how the hard part was done and
I was safe just a little anxiety was all we were round at our last Bend when a sense of relief came Over me I could see the end of the ride I was almost done but the ride didn't start to slow down normally the coaster starts to slowly come to a Full Stop several hundred ft from the end but it was still going as we pass passed by the loading area I saw the operators look confused as we raced by I noticed no one else was waiting in line someone screamed one more time and everyone
on board gave an excited response everyone except for me Charlie looked over at me And grabbed my wrist yes I knew they would let us keep going this is awesome he let out an excited Yelp as we reached the climb to the drop he was beaming with joy the whole rest of the lap we passed by our loading area once again but this time the coaster operator had a couple couple other people standing with them the operator who strapped us looked red and worried as we were whipped by the employees for our third ride of
the day the other riters were divided some Were still excited screaming let's go one more time or Best Day Ever yeah some people started to sound scared not everyone noticed the employees looking frazzled I can promise you one thing I noticed we started going up the incline again this was the slowest part of the ride at around 10 mph and slowing down a little as it reached its peak this gave us the opportunities to take a breath or try to talk although it was only for a total of about 20 seconds are are we Stuck
I said nervously to Charlie I'm sure we're fine they're just a mou function with the electrical system not activating the brakes or something there's always a manual shut off he was cut off and we were went down the Steep Hill we passed by yet again this time with more people looking worried and someone standing close to where the coaster would go by he tried to yell at us as we went by but we couldn't really understand him maybe something about Them working on getting us off this time as we zoomed by everyone was scared and
starting to panic I guess it didn't sink in for some people what was happening until right now we went around a fifth time and everything remained the same on the sixth time we were at the peak and saw a firet truck coming into the parking lot from the top of the incline we had a perfect view of the parking lot along with the side of a highway a little further out and took two more Loops around the track by the time the fire department got to us not just them but police officers and ambulances it
started to scare me why did they get ambulances it is just protocol or is there more to this someone came in a few minutes later with a big white board that they used to write messages to us the ride was too loud when passing by them to hear anything so this was their only way to talk to us it must have been the 12th or 13th time around when the Whiteboard read trying to free you at Peak I knew they couldn't write a novel for us because you can only read so much while going by
so fast but come on people what is that supposed to mean I think they just wanted to tell us that they're working on a way to get us down but it didn't matter we've been on this ride for nearly 30 minutes and we felt sick and our bodies hurt like crazy a couple loops after that we saw a fire truck trying to get underneath where the Top of the Ascend was luckily there was a large space where the truck could pull right beside it unfortunately at its peak it's about 200 ft in the air it
also doesn't have any emergency exits at the top like most coasters do you think that' be a requirement but what do I know we saw the firetruck start to expand the ladder that comes out of the top but it wasn't even close we waited for the firefighters to try and figure out a solution to save us as the Audience below us was watching us like we are some kind of show it was close to 45 minutes when the first death occurred then one more soon after there was a skinnier guy in the car behind me
I heard him talking about trying to slip out of the seat restraint which secured him to his seat the other guy he was with told him it was a bad idea so did I the next time he went up the ascent he began violently wiggling and thrashing back and forth to the point where people Thought he was going to throw off the ride he managed to wiggle about halfway out right at the top but well didn't end very well his leg got caught on a part of the track and yanked the rest of his body
out of the bar restraint it sent his body crashing down towards the Earth however I think he was dead soon after he was ripped out of his seat I didn't see too much of it the guy who was beside him let out an insane Screech hearing that kind of Agony as you were Feeling the harsh effects of gravity hitting on your chest while going down a steep hill was truly mortifying the Screech out of nowhere stopped and more people screamed the man beside him had a heart attack I could hear the Symphony of moans and
crying coming from the crowd watching us I couldn't hear them before because of how loud the ride was but they were terrified of what they saw police tried to escort them out of the park but it didn't stop people from Parking on the of the road to watch and record on their phones made me feel disgusted at around an hour on the ride everyone stopped screaming or trying to talk to each other it seemed like everyone accepted their fate my nails were deeply embedded into Charlie's wrist I couldn't scream anymore due to my throat feeling
raw from the yelling even if I wanted to I probably couldn't do it in my voice given out I saw that I drew a little blood on Charlie but he Was too out of it to notice he along with a few other people were incredibly sick he threw up probably five times at this point looked crosseyed around that time the electricity in the whole park shut down all the lights everything I think they were hoping a hard reboot of the whole park would stop the ride the coaster didn't just rely on gravity but also on
a lot of help from Motors and other electronic elements it all turned off when we were on the straightaway of Course it still didn't stop I could hear someone yelling with frustration not understanding how it could still be moving if it didn't have an electrical source after 2 hours they let some family members come into the loading area which is a terrible idea we're doing our best to keep cool and stay calm our family is watching us zooming by them every 2 minutes and absolutely screaming at us made it so much worse my mom was
my first family member to show Up don't get me wrong I love my mom but she's very stubborn and wanted something done even though they had already tried everything of course it was just because she wanted me safe but it was stressing me out the firefighters put down a safety net underneath the ascent it was still quite a jump if we could even get out and successfully to land on it it might be okay but we're all a little scared from what happened before it seemed like they put it out just in case Someone tried
to get out again it didn't seem like it was the plan to have us all just jump out of that moving death machine they weren't desperate enough at that point we saw a large group of people passionately arguing and yelling at each other from what I could tell it was made up by family members firefighters and some employees of the park I'm sure with lots of varing opinions the ride was on hour three when the coaster entered the loading area Once again I saw a woman run over to the control panel a couple of people
ran over to her and told her to stop and not press the buttons she was screaming her head off and wailing it had been hard to understand people in the past while going by them but this was as clear as day as we passed by I could tell she was starting to break free from the grip of people holding her back I wasn't too worried whatever button she was wanting to press I'm sure it wouldn't work since None of the others works so far we were about 5 seconds away from going down The Descent when
we heard a click come from all our seats the woman hit the button that unlocked all our overhead seat belts of course the seat belt button worked but not the button to stopped the ride a few people reacted fast enough to either jump out or snap it back over themselves with the ride went down others weren't so lucky three people managed to jump out but didn't survive The fall despite there now being a giant net to catch anyone who's dumb enough to try and get out that high one person hit a support beam on the
way down and the other two landed wrong when they hit the net their bodies folded in an unnatural manner as they hit all three died instantly I would say around half of us that were left managed to get the seat belt secured before going down the hill everyone else had to hold on for dear life and unfortunately I was one of them I felt my stomach start to drop as I reached up to grab the only thing that would keep me from becoming a part of the pavement below the restraint wasn't completely completely useless at
that point I just had a good 12 in in between my chest and the restraint as I dug my fingers into the plastic I hoped I would be fined then the ride dropped I felt my butt lift off the seat I'd become so familiar with I tried to wrap my ankles around the floor of the coaster to keep The B rest of my body from flying out Charlie luckily got the restraint down so he was trying to get his leg over mine and hold me down with his arm after the longest 5 Seconds Of My
Life I managed to pull it back down over my chest I was n sure who else got theirs down but I assumed from how scared a few of them sounded it wasn't good all I could think about and look at was the big loot coming up as we got closer I could hear swearing from multiple Passengers including someone in front of me she was violently pulling at the restraint but it wasn't budging I was hoping and praying that the centrifugal force would keep her in her seat as we went down the big loop I closed
my eyes I knew I don't want to see what was about to happen I heard multiple people screaming and making horrendous cracking sounds I don't have an exact number but I would say only seven people were left I could see the two people in the very Front row and Charlie beside me I recall only hearing three other voices behind me at this point at hour 5 three more people died while on the ride two of them from a heart attack or something the third person well he watched the person beside him suddenly die while going
around one of the BS he yelled out in anger and he um well I'd actually rather not go into detail but he died soon after I saw the whole thing there were two people left in Front of me and Charlie at hour 6 we saw a group of people bringing in what looked like another large net except that it was in the loading area the next time we looped around they wrote something new on the big whiteboard we're going to try and stop it manually I had no clue what this meant but by the look
of the net I was terrified the next pass there were people on both sides of the loading area on one side the net was wrapped around a large pole that had Been somehow fastened into the concrete slab I saw a large similar pole on the other side but the net wasn't yet attached as we zoomed by I could hear people trying to rush and hurry behind us we were run around one of the turns and I cranked my neck looking to see what plan they had in mind they frantically trying to tie the other side
of the net to the support beam that was freshly drilled into the ground I couldn't believe how stupid these people Were how on Earth did they think this was a good idea was this a last ditch attempt I was yelling at them and telling them to stop but of course they couldn't hear me even if they could they wouldn't listen they're to get at least someone out of this alive Maybe the owner of the park wanted all of us to die so that no one could publicly talk about the horrific things we went through as
we went past the last bend the hundreds of people watching the Spectacle cheered clapped and celebrated somehow not seeing any of the flaws with this terrible plan we were on the straightway and my heart started to pound again the few seconds before we hit the net felt like slow motion I swore I could see everyone's face they looked happy I couldn't believe it made me upset because I knew they're all about to be very disappointed finally we hit the net of course it was no match for a giant metal Contraption hitting it the metal pole
was ripped out of the concrete slab and smashed down right in between our car and the one behind us as we headed for the incline we tried to get the net that was attached itself to us off the coaster luckily we were able to get it off of us but no luck with the metal beam that was not awkwardly lodged into the coaster as we started going down the whole ride started to shake violently it felt like we were going to fly off the Track we made it to the first turn and I heard a
loud snap and two screams the seven coaster cars behind USS broke off and the metal beam found its way underneath as we turned I watched in disbelief as the cars behind us all went flying off the tracks at this point in the ride it was about 50 ft off the ground still enough to kill them I wasn't fast enough to close my eyes and saw the whole thing it went off the track like it had wings and suddenly Plummeted down into the Earth the screaming IM midly stopped when the ride landed upside down my imagination
filled in the blanks and shuddered at the thought of the Carnage below me and then there were two we were hoping that somehow the ride would stop or slow down because we lost the back seven cars I was not sure what the logic was but we were desperate at this point after another hour it was not showing any signs of slowing down once we made It to hour 8 we accepted Our Fate I was hoping that this would all be over soon and we could just be done I don't think either one of us thought
we'd get off we just hoped as at this point that our deaths would be quick over the next couple hours we noticed a piece of metal on the car ahead of us start to wobble and loosen I'm not sure if it was just the wear and tear of the ride going for so long or the Whole Net Fiasco it kept looking like it was about to come loose And we'd duck out of the way we were Imagining the worst possible outcome thinking it would fly off and decapitate one of us eventually it did come off
but it wasn't as dramatic moment like we thought it would be it was so much worse instead of coming all the way off it only partially came off and started grinding loudly against the track we heard an audible cringing sound from everybody watching below the sound was horrendous the thin strip of metal Started to find its way underneath the car Charlie was worried it would dislodge the coaster from its track like we saw just hours before he told me he was going to try and grab it I begged him not to after a few laps
of me telling him to just leave it he made up his mind and contorted his body to try and grab the sharp metal I couldn't see his hand as he reached down forward but I could see his face face somehow that made it worse his expression quickly Changed from Focus to shocked in a matter of seconds his face went blank I heard screaming but had no clue what was going on he lifted up his arm and I don't think I'll ever be able to get the image of what used to be his arm out of
my head when he gripped the metal it slipped and went deep into his forearm I tried to grab his shoulder to calm him down but to my shock he was calm he was more silent at that moment than he had been the whole day he wouldn't even look At me he was almost mesmerized by the side of his bloody disfigured arm I felt laded and had a ringing in my ears watching The Blood start to make its way down his entire body then to me in the floor of the coaster it was making me feel
sick watching the blood move around the car as we run on the twist and turns of the ride within minutes Charlie looked like a ghost I did my best to try and wrap his arm up with the shreds of my shirt but it was completely pointless I don't think an old t-shirt can help when you could see the bone I tried to talk to to him I tried to make him feel as comfortable as I could but it was no use he was fading in and out of Consciousness he began going up the ascent and
he finally looked over at me I couldn't begin to explain all that I saw in his eyes I could see the pain and sadness but also the relief he knew he was going to die but I don't think he cared he gave me a weak nod of the head And looked ahead when we went down the hill I tried to keep a close eye on his this lap but it was honestly hard to look at him I heard him take a deep breath right before the loop when we finished the loop I looked over at
him and well he was gone I was now left alone in this death trap I never imagined it could have gotten any worse but having a dead body sitting next to you on a roller coaster is not something I would recommend I was sitting in shock Next to my dead friend for a couple hours I was frozen in fear not wanting to even think of a way out after gaining some courage I contemplated my next move I came back into reality and realized the coaster was going just slightly slower it wasn't significant ific but if
the loops were taking just slightly longer than before that damp piece of metal that killed Charlie must have made it way underneath and not derailed it but slowed it down I ended up taking off My shoes and Charlie's shoes I had a plan that was probably dumb but if I died at least it would be in my hands as I went by the loading area the coaster started to slow down just before the ascent I threw all four shoes right in front of the ride a part of a shoe caught the truck in just the
right spot the ride was still I could feel the coaster almost pulsing trying to move with all its might I was sore my shoulders were badly bruised by the Shoulder restraints repeatedly hitting me over and over again my whole lower half aching from sitting in a hard seat for hours on hours I took a deep breath and squeezed in my gut like I never had before I let out a horrific yell as I forced my body out of the restraint that had been holding me down for at least 12 hours around 360 times around the
track my heart was racing as I felt the coaster start to win the battle to move again I managed to squeeze out just Seconds before it took off I was freed and jumped luckily I just barely hit the net below I also managed to hit the net so I didn't hurt myself too badly nothing is worse than what the ride already did to me I laid on the net looking up into the sky in disbelief I was still I wasn't moving it was almost making me feel motion sick not moving around like when you were
reading a book in the car and you look up after an hour everything was blurry I could barely Hear the faint sound of people trying to get to me but it was mostly just my ears ringing and my heart beating after just a few minutes I was down they immediately rushed me to the ER where I stayed for 3 weeks I sustained a broken rib a broken collar bone severe bruising and a concussion just in name a few not to mention the mental trauma I'm writing this as I'm feeling ready to finally tell my story
this is the first time I'm digging back into my memories and Recollecting the whole experience I've started to work through all this with a therapist and it's made me realize I need to get it all out of my system don't bother trying to find anything about the story the owners of the park have done a suspiciously good job hiding it it's another reason I want to get my story out there they have completely scrubbed the internet of it somehow although talking with a professional has helped there are still some sounds and Images that I can
just never completely get out of my head if you take one thing from my story and say you should trust yourself even if you don't believe in a higher power or gut instincts if you have a feeling trust it please home alone with my old dog although it doesn't seem like it this happened quite a while back probably over 10 years ago I was in the later years of high school and was home alone my parents were at a wedding that Required them to stay at a hotel my brother worked the night shift at that
time my family lived in a very well-known east coast city in a bluecollar neighborhood hood that was starting to take a nose dive as a teenager I was a bit of a loner I wasn't a nerd or anything I was a big dude who had friends and went on dates but I'm a natural introvert so I cherish the rare alone time that I got this weekend I was looking forward to engaging in my normal Empty house routine play some PlayStation on the big screen TV then order a late takeout dinner pizza or Chinese and pig
out while watching some Dragon Ball Z then around 2: a.m. fall asleep on the couch with my old dog Cecil Cecil was a beagle who was as old as the hills and had been in our family about 8 years he was quiet and peaceful and spent his time begging for food and sleeping unlike most beagles Cecil never howled or barked he was more content to Rest his head on your lap and spend the night there anyway back to the story it's approximately 1:00 a.m. I just finished the last slice of pizza and was dozing off
on the couch when I hear a bang coming from the back Alleyway I didn't think much of it anyone who has lived in a city knows no happen at all moments of the night cil's head popped up out off my lap and the hair on his back stood up he was always a bit skittish so I calmed him down and Started dozing off again not more than 2 minutes later I hear another bang and Cil did something I never seen him do before he leapt off the couch and ran like the wind towards the door
leading to the basement barking and growling like a dog twice his size the look on his face reminded me of a German Shepherd Canine Unit I'd never seen him like that before which got my adrenaline pumping through the dog's barking I could now make a persistent banging There was a seldom used door in the basement that led to our back Alleyway it was old and rusted and was hard to open even with the key and it made a lot of noise I suddenly realized that someone was trying to break into my house through my basement
door quick little bit of context for anyone who hasn't lived in a bad neighborhood if someone tries to get into your house and moves on after they realize the door is lock they want your stuff if someone is Persistently trying to get into your house despite the door being locked well they want you knowing this I Rush upstairs to grab the heavy wood baseball bat that I keep under my bed for situations like this then I head down to my basement I probably should have ran but I was a macho teenager with a tough guy
complex and plus I had nowhere to go while I'm heading down the stairs of my basement Cecil blows past me with the speed ingression of a dog half his age Suddenly I hear a man's voice say oh [ __ ] and the banging stopped I didn't call the cops or anything else which is probably the dumbest thing I'd ever done I just sat up for the rest of the night with a bat in my hand my brother came home that morning and I told him what had happened we went to the basement door to take
a look and we gave it a tug to open it the whole door fell off the psycho was one good shove away from getting in my house but old sea still Scared him off I'm pretty sure that Lazy fatle Dog saved my life when I tell this story to people they dismissed his actions as a dog doing what a dog was supposed to do but when I tell you that Cil never barked or moved that fast in his life you can take out to the bank it was almost like he knew the urgency like he
knew that door was going to give a few years back we had to have him put down because he just had no will to live anymore before the injection I got a Moment alone with him I thanked him one last time for his friendship and for what he did that night at this point I was a grown man with a wife and kids I'm convinced none of that would have happened without old seao thanks pal I miss you being left alone at a house in the middle of the Mojave Desert back around 1992 I was
in high school at the time I was a sophomore and unlike most of my friends in school I didn't work the Typical high school jobs like McDonald's Taco Bell some retail job in the middle of the mall or work at the local grocery store I was very good with my hands and work jobs like construction demolition flooring and auto mechanics all of my contacts I worked under the table as I started working on some of these jobs at for it was beneficial for both of us as I was only called in when needed and I
was the guy willing to only work evenings And weekends one of my contracts worked doing remodeling projects like at restaurants bars retail shops and typical commercial projects that we could only work after hours like I said that worked out for both of us because I went to school and would sometimes work after school or weekends for this one contact it wasn't uncommon for him to leave me alone at a site and have a list of things for me to do alone mostly demolition work I did this while the Other crew was doing the installation or
remodeling work I was the kid but had their respect because I did what I was supposed to do and did the work of a man without complaints I got paid good and in one night I could make more than my friends did working all week at McDonald's this one instance I got a call from a guy I worked for and he said he had a project for me and if I could work the following Saturday I said yeah sure he said be sure to bring food and Lots to drink as there was nothing nearby I
used to have a small cooler and fill it up with drinks like Coke Gatorade or whatever plus chips and a couple sandwiches back then I could eat a whole pizza by myself and burn it all off he picked me up that Saturday morning as they didn't have a car or license yet so he would pick me up and drive me to the sites for work and leave me alone there I rarely worked with his other Crews as they were the more Skilled labor guys I was just the tear out kid here's the part that was
my major downfall to the story I didn't paid attention to where we were going I was too busy talking to him and think we were talking about cars you see at the time my goal was to save up enough money to buy an old muscle car and rebuild it it took a long time to arrive to the site as we drove up it was in the middle of nowhere now you may not think California has places like this but back In the early 1990s out in the Mojave Desert yes it was big plots of land
and homes more than a few city blocks apart I knew we left the highway and went down a few other two-lane Highway ways for a long distance I remember he asked me about my drinks and he pulled out a brand new jug of water that he had in his truck that looked like it had been there a while and told me to take it with me just in case he said that the water of the house I would be working at Was off as we pull up to the property he is a hurry they drop
off tools and get to the other work site so I hurry up and help them with things like breaker bars shovels pry bar hammer broom several big trash bins and a small tool bag that I often had with me he tells me that he will be back to pick me up at about 5: to 6:00 p.m. as there's no electricity to the site either plus it should only take me till then to do what I needed to do that was always his way of saying I'm Only paying you till this time so you better get
everything done by then it was never too outrageous and he we would always have a good understanding on time and tasks he drove away and I am on his property all alone I walk into the house it's mostly empty my job was to remove all remaining Furniture contents and appliances remove all the flooring got the kitchen and bathrooms and remove all the wood paneling this project was going to be like what we now call a flip they Were going to fix it up and sell it almost immediately I get kind of spooked by the place
it was very odd now mind you I am used to being on sites alone working all night this was the daytime on a Saturday and bride outside however the house was old dark musty and kind of cool inside the kind of cool that gives you Goosebumps to add to the spook Factor the house let me describe what I remember about the house imagine walking back in time to the 1960s or earlier Dark green carpet that I looked M matted down broccoli Pinewood everywhere that had a darker stain to it the wood paneling wasn't the kind
used in the 1980s sheet paneling but actual board paneling tonged in Groove old window curtains that all looked like someone's grandma made avocado green sink stove top oven and the stuff that was left behind like old furniture and a closet full of old stuffed animals that looked to be about 30 years old the style of This house was like an old Western Ranch as there were Wagon Wheels inside and outside the house I old battery powered radio but only could get a few stations but was just happy for the noise I started removing all the
junk from the house and as I normally did on a project if there wasn't a dumpster on site I made a trash pile I tore up all the flooring next to my delight everything seemed to come up with ease and it was a rip cut and toss I took a big demo Hammer to the kitchen and tore it apart in less than an hour I ended up using that big jug of water that my boss had given me to wash my hands and face periodically but by late noon as most you know the desert the
dryness also starts to take moisture from you especially if you working in it so by late afternoon I am down to my last drink and I'd already ate everything I bought no worries I thought the guys should be here in a couple Hours to pick me up as the time gets closer for them to arrive I'm all done with my tasks I even sweep the entire place and it's now ready for the rehab crew to get to work making this place look modern the time of year I was out here it wasn't a typical hot
desert day but you know in the desert as soon as the sun goes down it starts to cool rapidly I had a flannel shirt but that wasn't enough and it was starting to get dark this was the time before cell Phones were common and well there was no electricity water and phone service to the house I climbed up to get on the roof of the house to get a better look to see if I can see something in the distance it look like miles down I saw a smaller road that was a dirt road led
to and a few homes but those homes were all in the dark my first thought was hik down to the neighbor's house and asked them to use the phone the nearest house known was home and this home also looked Abandoned if you remember in the early '90s was the start of a decline of the economy in recession so it wasn't uncommon for a lot of foreclosed homes in a track of homes a lot of those I worked on at the time I started to think about my options as Darkness faster approached one was to stay
at the house until morning to hike with the little water I had a few miles in the dark Mojave night three wait until early morning and Hike out of there to some Sort of civilization it also suddenly occurred to me that no one knew where I was except my boss I don't know if he told anyone else where I was and certainly my family wouldn't miss me until maybe Sunday night but I didn't even tell them I was going to work there they knew me and how much I would work to save up for my
car that they never worried about me not coming home as full Darkness was all around me it was amazing looking out at The night sky and lucky for me the moon was bright I didn't have a flashlight or any way to make a fire even though I tried I was going to make a small bonfire out of broken up construction debris as the temperature started to fall probably down to the low 40s my only option was go back inside the empty creepy house that somehow seemed even more creepy sitting alone in the dark at about
8:00 p.m. the batteries on my radio which was my only source of little Light and no way started to die I grab my old wooded chair and sit in the living room of this house facing the door I'm starting to hear wind odd noises which I assume are animals in the distance and what sounds like leaves cracking under feet I'm starting to shiver from the cold so I set off on trying to start a fire in the fireplace imagine like Tom hsen Cast Away trying to make a fire at least this is keeping my mind
of my situation sitting in this Living room next to the fireplace the house seemed even more darker than it should have mind you in the daytime the inside seemed dark so with only the moonlight I was pretty much sitting in complete darkness my mind starts to play tricks on me I am seeing shadows moving outside and inside the house I'm also starting to hear someone talking like Whispers or something I get up from my chair and yell out hello and just as I do I hear Something fall from the other side of the house I
run over to the door and go outside again at least in the Moonlight I can see better but off in the distance I hear noises and see movement but can't make it out out I have my pile of tools by the edge of the house ready for when my boss picks me up so I run over there and grabbed Big Daddy it was my big heavy pry bar that I use in demo I was ready to defend myself for who or what was out there I have to keep moving Because my undershirt and flannel shirt
wasn't enough to keep me warm the wind was also starting to pick up and for as far as I could see no lights around me I didn't want to try and make it up on the house again out of fear falling in the dark but I get up on top of the gate just to try and gain a little bit of altitude to see if I see some house lights or nearby or car lights my mind went to these stories that circled around at the time about how people Would come up to the Mojave Desert
and bury bodies how there were Satanist groups out here and now people would go missing for no reason out here every noise had me on edge and every shadow had my heart pounding now I knew no one was inside the house but I swear I would hear noises from inside I held it up on the front porch looking in the living room window expecting to see someone out at any moment by around 11:00 p.m. I look at my watch thinking this is going To be a long night as all this stuff only happens since it
got dark I don't know how I'm going to make it another 6 hours till Daybreak I start thinking the moment it gets to be Daybreak like the moment light starts to appear on the horizon I'm going to take the little water I had left and walk East I knew going east I would eventually make it somewhere the dirt road I was off of I knew that direction led to a paved road closer to midnight I'm wide awake wake My eyes are fixed on the dirt road thinking that anytime now A Car would come down it
and maybe they can call for help for me I remember casually turning to look back into the house as all this time I keep hearing noises but telling myself maybe a rat or some animal I see a shadow of a person moved from the kitchen to down the hall I jump up from sitting down and was like that is not an animal that's a human I start back in my way out of the front porch towards the Pile and trip over debris and fall down on the ground I get up and fall again it was
like something pushed me down or my imagination but all of a sudden these bright lights are coming closer to me as I'm laying on the ground I jump up and into my boss he's looking at me like what the heck are you doing I was just so glad to see him I wasn't mad or anything just asked him what happened he said that he was sorry but he thought the other crew was coming to get me and They thought he was coming so no one actually came he said it wasn't until later in the evening
he asked the other crew leader about how far along I got and he said I didn't go get him well it took him almost 2 hours from where they were working to come get me he felt really bad and told me he was going to pay me for the entire time I was out there he also grabbed a can of Coke from his cooler and asked me if I was thirsty and drank that all in one gulp once we Got back towards civilization he went through a fast food drive-thru and I ate like I had
never ate before as he was driving me home I asked him about the house I told him how creepy it was he said he didn't have any information on the house only just what we were supposed to do after that I I made sure to always keep extra batteries flashlight and double the amount of liquid something strange happened to me in Mount rer National Park pictures Included I wanted to pose this here to maybe get some feedback on something that happened while camping in my Mount Rainer National Park yesterday the circumstances around what happened are
very foggy as I have very limited recollection of what happened as everything happened in a haze but pictures that definitely proved that something whatever it was did in fact happen let me give some context I 23m went to a van life meet up in uman Claw Washington over the weekend the city is close by Mount rineer National Park and because I had already made the trip I figured I might as well camp overnight nearby the park in a dispersed camping spot in the forest I bought some ingredients to make some carne asada tacos downloaded some
movies and was ready for a nice cozy evening in my van something which I do on most weekends in various campsites around the state I hacked around the campsite which is very Nice save for the large amounts of trash which was littered about which made me really sad the trail led to two fire pits not too far from where I had parked and ended at a quiet Riverbank it seemed like it was a spot that local teams might go to drink or smoke weed there was even a log bench with the words 420 painted colorfully
on its seat I wasn't sure how recently people people had been there and there were open half drink cans around the fire pits which seemed Cold I wasn't quite sure if this meant anything in the moment but it was a bit on the warmer side outside at around 70° I decided that it likely was an active camping stay the spot wasn't terribly isolated every 30 minutes or so someone would drive by to claim other campsites down the lonely Fire Road some trucks and even an RV people like me looking to spend time out in nature
and who don't want to Shell out the extra patch for a campsite after exploring the area I went Back to my van to start making dinner I used a satellite Communicator to check in with my friends and family as I didn't have any service as deep into the forest the sun was set in as I sat down to eat my tacos I left my doors open to let the air flow and the Cool Breeze felt amazing but after eating and when it was quiet I started noticing a sound in the distance they sounded like gunshots
really almost like cannon shots deep rhythmic booms echoing in the Valley every few seconds what accompanied these sounds was a very distant yet closer noise of a chainsaw in the distance now neither of these noises are very uncommon to hear when camping on fire roads to be honest people in Washington love their guns it wouldn't be unheard of for someone to use a chainsaw to cut down larger trunks into firewood some are fire band be damned I also saw some campers start to leave including an RV which is Particularly unusual finding a campsite for an
RV can be hard hard but it is especially hard to find one at night the rule is to always find Camp before the sun sets and the sun had only just disappeared from the sky something spooked them and I wondered if it would be wise to follow their lead however I had unwashed dishes on the counter and I was in no mood to move and so I didn't I did however triple check that all my doors and windows were locked before Drifting to sleep that night can only be described as hazy and disorienting I have
very little memory of anything that happened but the evidence that something had most definitely happened was very evident I remember being awake in the pitch black of night struggling to breathe not choking my lungs were filling with air but I remember the feeling of drowning I remember the pleading desperation for Air I remember trying to see with my sight being wholly Consumed by the darkness in front of me I have a memory of trying to punch out a window to no avail I remember making my way to the side door of my van to open
the door to breathe and then I woke up in bed and the sun was in the sky I would have chocked this up to a really bad dream but the damage around me EV was evident there was definitely struggle some of my window blinds were sliced and ruined one of my windows had scratch marks from the inside even the Air vent on my ceiling was obliterated from the inside I didn't think I was ever capable of this in the van was well ventilated so I'm unsure as to why I would have trouble breathing in the
first place my carbon monoxide detector was silent and the van was well ventilated after cooking I have no idea what possibly could have caused me to do this and ruined my lovely van I saw no indication of any kind of forced entry and all the Damage was done from the inside by me trying to get out of I guess my knuckles were very sore as were my feet as I probably hit them hard on the various cabinets in the van on my way out a pole I used to prop up my canopy was strangely out
of place in the middle of the floor and broken at the ends I've never had any form of Night Terrors or sleepwalking before this except for one incident also near Mount rineer National Park a few months ago my friends and Were're driving through Unum claw trying to find a camping spot we might be able to post up at it was night time already and as I said before finding camp at night can be pretty difficult we were driving down the same road I had taken from our recent trip we had gotten a tip from a
local about a mountain which had some good dispersed camping we were tired and hungry and just wanted to start setting up camp we passed a few spots mostly mud and Rock None to level And none too appealing we decided to pick the least muddy spot we could find and I helped them set up their tents it was one of my first trips in my van and I was excited to test it out as we were setting up camp we heard the wind blowing ominously through the trees causing them to Creak loudly threatening us with a
fall in this particular area of the mountain was very unleveled in the most unsettling way so we thus refer to this campsite as the ominous slant When we slept that night a few things of note happened my friend Melissa claims to have heard squeaking noises as if someone were wearing a latex bodysuit Sher to the sound as the happy gimper Kurt her boyfriend swears he heard a bear that night however the worst of it was when in the middle of the night they both heard me yell bloody murder from my van Kurt rushed out of
the tent tripping a few times in his haste and rushed over to the swing open the door but I was Asleep he asked what was wrong and he thought that someone was attacking me I had no idea what he was talking about I have no memory at all of any nightmares proceeding it or anything I have no idea what any of this means I've been on many trips in the van since with people but and nothing like this has ever happened anywhere else it has only happened when I've been in Mount rer National Park to
be honest thinking about the feeling of drowning in darkness makes me feel very Much not want to revisit the subject anytime soon so I don't believe I'll be visiting the park any time in the near future for camping either I was attacked but I don't remember anything about it let me start by saying the story I'm about to share happened almost exactly for years ago there are a lot of things I do not remember so some of the information was told to me by others after the fact that being said everything is true and really
Did happen to me I apologize ahead of time as I know it will be quite lengthy in 2020 during the pandemic I just moved into a really cool old second floor apartment on my Town Square it was the first time I think I'd ever lived completely alone my entire life and I was truly in love with the place one day in Late July I had left to go shopping and had locked my apartment something my mother had practically pounded into me from my childhood I never left my doors And windows unlocked when I got home
from shopping I noticed a few things weren't where I thought I left them and I mentioned this to my cousin Michelle I told her I thought someone might have been in my apartment while was gone after discussing it with her we came to the conclusion that I must have just forgotten I had moved the items myself and didn't think about it again a couple nights later I was up watching scary movies until about 2: in the morning When I decided to get ready for bed I remember walking into my bathroom to change into PJs and
do my nightly routine that is the last thing I remember until I woke up the next day when I got out of bed I immediately noticed something wrong with the clothes I had on they were those PJ shorts that had the drawrings around the waist I always tied the drawrings to make them fit but when I stood up the drawstrings looked like they had broken they were Still tied and were practically falling off of me I told myself I must have moved around a lot of my sleep and the string must have snapped or something
I headed to the bathroom for my morning routine when I walked by my bathroom mirror I turned to look at myself and I didn't see anything wrong but I felt really weird out of sorts I guess you'd say even more so than usual after I first wake up the longer I was awake the stranger I started to feel I noticed I Had a headache and my vision was kind of blurry I went to grab my phone from my nightstand to check what time it was but I guess I'd forgotten to charge it before going to
bed because my phone was dead I took my phone to the living room and found the charger and plugged in I stood there and waited for my phone to come on when it finally did come back on it was completely shocked to find out it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon this was highly unusual for me because no matter What time I go to bed I usually wake up around 7:00 or 8: in the morning this is when I began feeling slightly panicked like I said this was not normal for me I began rubbing my
face in my hands and that's when I felt something was wrong with my face I ran back to the bathroom mirror this time when I looked into the mirror I discovered my vision was so blurry that I couldn't even see my face no matter how close I got to the Mirror it looks like a dense fog or like when You take a super hot shower and the mirr fogs over except that I had not run any hot water at all this is when I realized something was very very wrong with me I was disoriented and
confused I walked back into my living room to check and see if my phone had charged enough so I could call a family member or friend to come over the phone was only at 5% but I decided I'd just keep it plugged in and try to call Michelle or my son I picked the phone up and then stared at it I Canot remember how to use my phone to call or text anyone I knew that I knew how to use my phone but for some reason I did not have the ability I was beginning to
get very upset and scared but most of all frustrated because I knew that I knew how to use this phone but my brain would not register that I did at all soon after this a flood of messages and missed calls came through and I was finally able to text a friend and told them that I was having some Sort of an emergency and I needed to contact my sister to get someone to my apartment ASAP my sister lives in an independent living facility because she was born with CP and could not walk walk she relies
on a wheelchair to get around I knew she would not be able to physically help me but could get a hold of my son I was becoming more confused the longer I was awake my sister had gotten a hold of my son and he was on his way I thought I should probably go Downstairs to unlock the door to the stairway but I was feeling so strange and off balance that I sat on the steps and inched my way down unlocked the door it was already unlocked and in my confusion I actually locked the door
I went back upstairs the way I went down by sitting and inching my way back up soon I received a call from my son telling me the door was locked and he could not get inside so I had to repeat the entire process all over again I Opened the door of my son along with his girlfriend and my seven-month year-old granddaughter took one look at me and his eyes widened in shock and he said Jesus Christ mother what happened to your face I had no idea what he was talking about I went back to the
bathroom here and discovered a horrific sight I had a goose egg in the middle of my forehead the size of a tennis ball and my right eye was completely swoll shut and it had one hell of a black eye My left eye was partially swollen as well it certainly explained why I slept for 14 hours straight all the confusion the headache and blurry vision I was experiencing I informed my son of everything that I had done that I remembered since going to bed the night before but I did leave out the fact that the draw
string of my shorts had been broken Michelle also showed up and told me I need to go to the ER and get checked out as we kept discovering other Injuries on me besides just the goose egg and black eye I had bruises in the shape of large fingerprints on my upper arms they were not my own I am tiny 5 foot tall and only weigh about 117 pounds it sort of looked like someone had been sitting in front of me facing me and had grabbed my arms to shake me or something then we noticed I
had Ren marks around both my wrists and both of my ankles I also had rug bur type injuries on my shins and knees I was Very confused still and I have absolutely no memory of what took place in those 14 hours I was sleeping it's just a nothingness a black hole in my memory even when I try to remember now which I don't force but do think about on occasion I was taken to the local hospital Z which is really nothing more than a glorified Band-Aid station the nurse practitioner on call kept asking me what
happened even though I kept telling her I had no idea maybe I fell Or something she then asked if I was in a relationship with someone and I informed her I was single it was not seen anyone at the time she did not believe me and had the nurse call the police I was confused so I get why she didn't believe me but then I said well if you don't remember what happened there's not much I can do but I can tell you with 100% certainty that you did not cause these injuries someone did this
to you the police never came in to talk to Me and I was discharged into the care of Michelle I couldn't be left alone due to my condition so I was arranged that I would be staying the night with Michelle and my aunt Kay I was told if I started getting nauseated or began vomiting or my confusion and headache got worse to call an ambulance immediately that's what ended up happening about 2 hours later I was horribly dizy and I had tried to eat something because by the time it had been over 24 hours since
I Had eaten anything they got me something to eat and I began hallucinating at first it was just auditory hallucinations I was sitting with my aunt on her bed watching TV when all of a sudden I noticed that the movie we were watching had completely different dialogue I didn't remember being in this particular movie then the characters in the movie began directly speaking to me I don't remember what they were saying and I kept glancing between the TV into My aunt to see if she was hearing the same thing I was I was totally aware
that I was hallucinating but I had absolutely no control over it then the paranoia started my daughter called to check on me she lives in a different town and even though I was on the phone with her I was convinced she along with several other family members were all outside of the house talking about me that's when I started vomiting and my cousin called 911 when the ambulance Showed up the police also showed up and they were talking to my cousin when they asked me what hospital I wanted to go to I told them the
name and my cousin who knew me very well knew I would never ask to go to the particular Hospital a story for another time however because I seemed with it enough to the paramedics and I kept insisting that is where I wanted to go that's where they had to take me I wish now that they had listened to her because it was Incredibly late at night and the hospital I was taken to was 25 minutes away no one in my family met me at the hospital and the hospital did not even try to call my
family for information I don't remember what I did or what I said to anyone after that I was so confused and hallucinating that it must have been bad at as I was committed to the hospital psych floor over a traumatic brain injury for 11 days 11 also another story for another time maybe I'll write A part two to this because it's also incredibly long I still to this day have no recollection of what happened to me but I really don't want to remember seen as all the medical professionals and my own health care providers who
saw my injury say that I had to have been attacked by someone it's scary to think of all the possibilities was someone actually hiding in my house that night without me knowing could have been one of the carnival workers I saw walking Around the town square earlier that day worst yet was it someone I know and still have in my life now I'm not sure which is worse not knowing at all or having the memories of it forever if you have read this entire post thank you I've also been very reluctant to share the story
but I also find writing out all the details I do remember to be very therapeutic in a way I've always been afraid of our garbage disposal but I trusted my wife My wife has insomnia and does chores when she can't sleep it's been that way for so long that I've stopped noticing usually I don't even wake up but a few nights in a row she started running the garbage disposal a lot often on throughout the night sometimes for a minute or two of course I couldn't sleep through that so late one night I went downstairs
to check on her she was in her PJs and bent over the sink staring into the drain she was leaning in so Close that someone some of her hair had piled up in the bottom of the sink you lose something I asked she gasped and snapped up when she heard me you scared me she said she did look jumpy which made me uneasy too I saw that she was holding something and asked her what it was nothing uh slice of turkey she said guilly she had baled it up into a gray pink blob from squeezing
it so hard it doesn't go in the garbage disposal I said I didn't know what else to say Right she said sorry I'm half asle sleep she dropped it into the trash under the sink there was a pack of sliced turkey on the counter already half eaten why did we have it I was the one who ate lunch meat but I hated turkey I don't remember telling her to pick up any hungry she asked she had seen where I was looking no I said my body had gotone cold something felt seriously wrong here she nonchalantly
turned around and put the lunch meat back in the fridge then With her back still facing me she said actually I did lose something in the sink a gemstone Stone in my ring she turned around and Shrugged I'm an idiot sorry which did you lose I asked trying to sound nice I never talked to her while she was in one of her insomnia spells it was more like she was sleepwalking or as if I were talking to a stranger a woman who only looked like my wife and had wandered into my house a little one
right here she said pointing At a ring you wouldn't have noticed it it's really small you can barely even see it where it's supposed to go I doubted that I wouldn't have noticed it I bought her the ring but the kitchen was too dark for me to see clearly you want me to fish it out for you I said she smiled sure I said going over to the sink I felt a sudden panicked urge to run back upstairs but I pushed that feeling down I loved my wife I trusted her even when she was maybe
half line I Reached my hand inside the drain it was damp and warmer in there than I had expected the bumpy edge of the blade was almost hot the metal must have heated up from the garbage disposal running for so long it's really small she said she came over to watch and leaned against the wall the switch for the garbage disposal was right next to her shoulder I almost told her to be careful but didn't I didn't want to seem controlling she smiled again at me I poked around the Sides of the garbage disposal container
everything I touched soggy and soft old scraps of food the container felt like it was was made of rubber I thought it would be maybe metal or hard plastic but the sides gave slightly when I pushed they were strangely warm my wife was watching me intensely her shoulder now on the edge of the light switch panel my finger brushed something hard and she moved her arm the arm that was on the switch and I ripped my hand out of the Drain what she asked did you cut yourself I'm fine I managed to say my voice
is shaking was she really going to flip the switch you are she asked yes I'm fine I couldn't find anything sorry that's okay she said yawning she went back up to bed she moved slowly oblivious to her surroundings maybe she was sleepwalking I followed her upstairs and found her already asleep I couldn't make it myself getting to bed with her none of it had made any sense her Running the disposal to meet her lie about the ring so I snuck back downstairs the sink looked the same as before a few drops of water around the
rim a waxy smear of gree on the stainless steel I put my hands on either side of the drain and stared into the black hole there was nothing unusual about it other than the vague threat of something sharp hiding out in sight of this dark but then I heard a low soft gurgling sound in the drain I bent over And lowered my ear to the drain to listen better maybe it was water moving through the pipes but this sounded more organic like the gurgling sound of a baby might make and I realized that my ear
felt warm warm air was wafting out of the R every few seconds as if the hole were breathing I pulled away from the sink nothing came chasing after me just to see what happened I got a slice of turkey and push it down the drain with my finger as soon as the meat had Slipped past the drain flaps the garbage disposal roared to life the metallic grinding noise rattled through the house I probably screamed but I couldn't hear anything over the harsh wet grading sound finally it stopped my heart pounding I took all the turkey
that was left and dropped it down the drain then got a wooden spoon and pushed it down into the hole the garbage disposal turned back on again and I ripped the spoon out the end was nod to splinters I'm not sure how long I stood there watching the drain and listening to the blade chew up the meat a minute maybe then the foset was running too my wife was there she had come down without me noticing the water gushed loudly into the drain and choked on the pipes the garbage disposal soon stopped and she turned
off the water the water helps the food go down she explained I was too stunned to move and she grabbed me by the arms talking so Quickly I couldn't get a word in it had started a few nights ago when she had fed the drain some crumbs from the counter then she fed it more and noticed that it liked meat so she got more meat whatever it was the thing down in the drain whatever it was doing growing nesting it was getting more active because of the food and that meant it was getting hungrier which
meant more food she apologized for putting so many Groceries on the card but it had been Worth it she had tamed the thing that's why I knew you'd be safe earlier she said I'll show you she got a bag of sugar out of the pantry wet her hand under the faucet and dunked it into the bag she pulled her hand out and is completely covered in Sugar then she stuck her hand down the drain stop I screamed she pulled her hand back out it was perfectly fine and perfectly clean not a speck of sugar left
see she said he won't bite it feels good she sugared Up her hand again and stuck it back down the drain it kind of tickles and it's so warm I couldn't speak you want to try she asked she got my hand wet under the faucet too and dunked it into the sugar I let her I was curious honestly more Curious than afraid and then my hand went into the drain there was a loud sickening crunch I remember that but I don't remember anything after or even how the pain the adrenaline and shock blocked everything out
I must have Somehow tied a tourniquet on and called an ambulance it's funny I Clos my eyes and I can't even picture the stump it's still wrapped up or the blood there must have been lots of blood but it's all cleaned up now and I can't picture any of it nobody could find the hand anywhere nobody can find my wife either she took the cash the jewelry the second car all of it mine the cops putting on alert for the car I don't know it's all so screwed up today had a plumber come By to
check out the garbage disposal he had never seen anything like it the shredder and motor were never installed it's basically an empty container sitting under the drain and you said it was working he asked doubtful yeah I told him my wife used it for years my friends and I attended a trivia night the questions progressively got weirder Thursday is trivia night every Thursday four friends and I meet up at a local restaurant that hosts Weekly trivia games with all of us being young adults that recently graduated from college trivia is a great way for us
to stay connected despite all of us being real adults with real jobs now every week we go to the restaurant Benny's and sit at the same booth we participate in five categories of trivia with each category having five questions we drink laugh answer the questions and usually win or at least play second this is the rout r that we have followed for The past few months until the group chat got a text from Henry have you guys ever heard of Lucy's Bar I read the message and instantly went to look it up on Google Maps
nothing came up in the search bar except some recommendations for other bars or establishments that started with an L I typed out my response no where is that someplace over by Fairmont Avenue I got an ad in my mail advertising trivia at this place on Thursday maybe we check out a new spot I Frowned when reading that personally I love the status quo and hate change even when it comes down to something as simple as where we attended trivia night but before I could respond Al sent a text I'd be down to try a new
place it gets boring when we always win every week at Benny's well if Alice wants to try the new place then Jenny will side with her that only leaves me and Morgan I had to respond before he did we're going to Give Gary a heart attack if we don't show up Benny's tomorrow we're there every week Gary is the head bartender he'll usually let us get away with one round of beers for free come on it will be fun to try new place Henry really seemed to want to try this new place sigh before I
could formulate a response Morgan finally chimed in what's the harm in skipping Benny's for one week we'll see if the trivia here is fun and if it's not at least we tried somewhere new And that settled it the following evening I drove slowly down Fairmont as I squinted at the building looking for a sign advertising Lucy's Bar we don't live in a small town but I've lived here long enough to be pretty familiar with the businesses that line the street I'd never heard of this place before so I figured it must be new after parking
on the side of the road I began to wander down the sidewalk when I reached the last building I turned to the group chat For help where is this place go around the side of the Bank building there's a sign pointing to the stairs the bar is down there sure enough once i r at the corner of the building for the bank I saw a bright neon sign with an arrow pointing down the stairs no wonder I'd never seen this place I followed the stairs and found all four my friends already seated at a table
I scanned the place while walking over to them it looked like an average bar one bartender Stood behind the counter of the bar and there's a mix of regular tables high top tables and booths along the wall there weren't many others just a few groups of people scattered about I greeted my friends as I slid in next to Henry at the booth I never knew this place was here I said I either until I got the ad he Shrugged I didn't know of any other places that hoses trivia I thought it might be fun I
think we' have a good Chance of winning Alice whispered while Jenny nodded her head in agreement we're the biggest group here while we waited for our appetizers and drinks to come out I looked more closely at the other groups there were two groups of couple seated at different tables two trios and one group of four that were also in booths around us around a few minutes our food was brought out I could now see a name tag on the woman who is waiting on us are you the Lucy that owns the bar I asked the
one and only she replied with a wink she looked like she was in her 40s and on the brightest red lipstick that I've ever seen we'll get trivia going here in just a moment I watched as she went into the kitchen and a moment later she emerged and sat on one of the stools at the bar she had a handful of cards with her that she laid down on the countertop before clearing her throat so what does the winning team get I asked Henry not exactly sure the Ad just listed the location for trivia he
replied with a shrug all right everyone we're going to get started there should be multiple sheets of paper on your table as well as a couple of pencils after each question you write down your answer and then bring it up to me it was similar to our normal trivia in this sense that there were five rounds of five questions but bringing up the answer after every question seemed a bit tedious after everyone turned in Their answer Lucy would repeat the question tell us the answer and then Grant the points to the teams who answer correctly
oddly enough I did end up enjoying getting to hear the anwers sooner rather than at the end of the round the first round was a general trivia generic questions about the year that this product came out or who wrote that great American novel the second round covered Sports then the third round covered geography the first Question related to the Pacific Ocean and the second question related to the country in Europe then Lucy asked the third question where can you find hell she asked my friends and I exchange glances with each other like as an actual
hell Morgan asked we're going to find hell Lucy repeated grin at us what are we supposed to say under the Earth the Earth's cord and he asked Alice Shrugged I'm good with putting the core of the earth so that is what we wrote Down Henry brought the slip of paper up to Lucy who read it and smiled after the last group brought up their paper Lucy prepared to give us the answer where would you find hell well you'd hop in your car and drive over of Michigan where you'd find the tiny unincorporated town of Hell
Lucy said with a laugh all of the tables also let out little laughs now as the question made more sense the next two questions were normal geography questions Lucy listed the placings of Each team and my group was in first but only by a couple of points then we got to the fourth round time for round four Lucy exclaimed clapping her hands together name this 2005 horror film that Keana reev starred in everyone immediately turned to Henry the horror film buff in our group Constantine he whispered and Jenny wrote it down she had been tasked
with writing the answer since she had the neatest handwriting after everyone turned in their answers Lucy confirmed that Constantine was the correct answer next question who do you like the least in your group Lucy asked I looked at my friend and then at Lucy to see if she was being serious who do you like the least in your group there's no right or wrong answer but you will not get a point if you don't turn in a real answer she explained what Morgan asked what kind of question is that yeah I'm not writing anything down
said Jenny if you choose not to write an answer you Will not receive any point and it's in your best interest to get as many points as possible so you can win of course she said cheerily we all sat in awkward silence waiting to see if anyone would bring their paper over to Lucy no one did well Lucy chuckled you guys get a pass with that one but moving forward if you do not bring up a real answer you will get docked points next question who is the most rational levelheaded person in your group uh
still weird but I guess This isn't a mean question to answer Alice said I'd probably say Jenny I answered and everyone nodded in agreement Jenny wrote down her own name on the paper and brought it to Lucy excellent now you can earn a point Lucy told her the other group slowly filed over to the turning their papers and once everyone was seated again Lucy asked another question who in your group would you sacrifice if you had no choice complete silence filled the bar I think I've had enough of these questions Morgan said I'm done with
this the rest of us voiced our agreement and began to put our cash to pay so we didn't have to wait for a bill to be rung up I'm afraid that no one can leave until trivia is complete Lucy said in a sympathetic voice that did not seem sincere I don't think you can really stop us said a man from one of the couples that was sitting at a high top table he was putting his coat on while his wife grabbed her purse Lucy was silent as we watched the couple walk up the stairs once
at the top we couldn't see them anymore but we heard the sound of a door attempting to be pulled open followed by cursing fluster the man ran back down the stairs the door is [ __ ] locked open the door he shouted at Lucy I told you that no one may leave until trivia is over she clucked please return to your table so we may continue we should be allowed to leave if we want Morgan told her as we All stood awkwardly around the table everyone else was murmuring in agreement trying to figure out what
to do the rules are the rules once you begin trivia you must play all the way through I highly recommend continuing your participation because the first place group will win a very promising prize she told us you can't keep us locked in here said a man from a different group there's no other way out of the bar Lucy told him and the murmurs at each table Slowly began to turn into Panic All I ask is that you finish trivia that's it we all looked around at each other Alice looked at her phone and groan in
frustration of course we don't have service in here it seems like we have to tough it out and finish the trivia we're already on the fourth round we only have about six questions left said Henry disgruntled the couple seemed to also come to the conclusion as they returned to their table and we all sat back down You all have 1 minute to submit your answer for the previous question if you fail to turn in the paper with a real answer you will be docked a point Lucy told us she doesn't know any of us I
whispered to my friends let's just put a random name and turn it in Jenny nodded and wrote something down before bringing it to Lucy after the minute was up only three of the other groups had turned their papers in Lucio reviewed the slips and tally the points sadly none of you Get points for this round some of you failed to turn in an answer while the groups that did submit an answer chose not to be truthfully named a member of the group you all get doed to Point how the [ __ ] did she know
that I whispered to everyone who all stared back at me with wide eyes next question last one in this round what is the worst sin you've ever committed since there is more than one person in each group I expect one answer for each person your points still Count towards your overall group scorer but you can get more points if everyone answers truthfully we all sat there speechless do we try to leave again Jenny asked I wouldn't Lucy said red lips stretched into a wide grin just finish it out there's only one round left your group
is in the lead and it is in your best interest to keep it that way why do you keep saying that what is the first prize win a girl from one of the trio tables asked you'll find out Soon enough if I I were you I'd work very hard to try to take that first place spot Lucy replied now let's turn in those answers the girls from the table ignored her and walked over to the staircase anyway we heard them pushing against the door but apparently to no Veil as they gloomily came back downstairs a
minute later well somehow she knows if we're lying so we have to turn in the right answer Alice said about the worst sin we've ever committed That's a [ __ ] up question Morgan retorted clearly this woman is whack but we to turn in our own answer we don't have to look at each other's answers but I think we should just answer truthfully Henry reasoned [ __ ] it yeah I I just want to get out of here let's turn in our answers I said I pondered for a moment what is the worst skin I've
ever committed I cheated on my partner in high school I felt really awful about that for a long time obviously weren't Married or anything but I wrote down adultery SL cheating on my slip of paper and turn it in Lucy snatched the paper from my hand and after knit winked at me I walked back to the table and sat down after everyone had reluctantly turned their answers in the room sat in an eerie silence while Lucy examined the papers and wrote down the scores she proceeded to list out the ranking of groups by points and
our group still held the lead we have made it to the Last category Lucy announced first question what is your deepest fear well not a fun question it wasn't as awful as a sacrifice question the rest of the round proceeded with bizarre questions including who do you hate the most in in your life if you had to kill someone how would you do it which circle of hell in Dante's Inferno would you be sent to and we finished with the grand finale question of will you return to trivia at Lucy's my answer was simply a
[ __ ] no After the last group turned in their paper for the last question I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding the same guy who tried to leave earlier stood up again can we leave now trivia is finished I haven't yet announced the winners Lucy replied without looking up from her score sheet I don't care who won we want to leave he told her well the winners get to leave first she said in response she listed the rankings again with the Duos Finishing last then one of the trios third
place went to the other Trio second place went to the group of four and my team was announced as the winners congratulations Lucy said beaming toward our table you all get to leave first second place get to choose three people to leave and third place gets to choose one person to leave everyone who had been gathered in their things stopped in their tracks forget that we're leaving said one of the girls in the duo that Finished last Lucy stood to her feet no was all she said you can't stop us the other girls said and
the two of them headed towards the stairs the bartender who had been silently cleaning glasses the counter now stood at the foot of the stairs blocking them let us through the first girl demanded the man stared at her silently he lifted his jacket up to reveal a gun tucked inside the waistband of his pants the girl shrieked and ran back to the table while everyone else is Sended into panic mode quiet down Lucy yelled so loudly that it stunned everyone into silence first place groups gets to leave first my second and third place groups you
have 2 minutes to decide who goes and who stays or else you will all stay guys let's get the [ __ ] out of here I whispered and we all hurried towards the stairs the man moved slightly to let us through and we all clambered up the stairs I reached the door first and I held my breath as I Pushed it thankfully it opened we stumbled into the chilly night air and backed away from the staircase we have to call the police right Alice asked if she had already had her phone out and locked yeah
yeah Morgan said watching the staircase what just happened Jenny whispered staring at the ground what did she mean when she said that the second and third place groups had to choose who got to leave no one answered a moment later three other people emerged from The staircase and came over to us we left Adam in there one of the girls said tears streaming down her face please tell me you called for help we did Al asserter the police are coming we watched The Doorway to see if one person from the trio would have come outside
but no one did no one said a word as we all stared at the staircase hoping that someone would appear from the hell hole of a bar after a few minutes smoke began creeping up the stairwell and Rising Into the open air hey I think there's a fire Henry exclaimed and he and I ran towards the staircase we quickly descended the steps and tried to tuckle the door but it was shut firmly one of the guys from the other group followed us we all tried to kick the door in we heard banging on the other
side of the door and the faint cries of those stuck inside there's got to be a way we can get this door open I said to them pulling my shirt over my nose and mouth The Panic cries of those trapped in the bar were growing louder with what there's nothing around here we can use to try and bust the door down he said miserably we need to get away from the smoke my friend is in there the other guy said she said we had to leave someone or we'd all have to stay and Adam told
us to go and get help I promised we'd go back for him the guy said beginning to weep help should be here soon I said said but even I didn't Believe that help would come in time for this guy's friend because the stench of burning meat began to fill my nose I think the others smelled it too because we all trudged back up the stairs I couldn't bring myself to look at the agonized faces of the group that left their friend down there another few minutes went by before we heard the sirens approaching should we
get out to the street I'm not sure if they'll know we're back here Jenny said we agreed and Followed her around the side of the building to the Main Street the members of the other group followed us from rush over to the car trying to that their friend was inside and needed help the responding officers realizing the gravity of the situation followed us back around the building towards a staircase but something was different the neon sign that labeled the bar was now gone weeds and Vines were covering the railing that surrounded the hole in The
ground where the stairs were this is where you were one of the officers asked skeptically yes one of the girls cried we were down in The Spar to play trivia and the lady was being weird with her questions and then she wouldn't let her friend leave there's other people who are stuck down there too the officers descended to the staircase while we all hung back this doesn't look like a bar to me one of them called up the stairs dismayed I went down the stairs to see For myself he was right the door swung open
into what looked like a basement but it was devoid of a bar chairs tables or any sign of Life the ground was dirt and the empty space gave no indication that a bar had been there moments ago this some kind of prank an officer asked no sir we were just down there I insisted it's like she said there were other groups of people with us and they got trapped in there I smelled smoke and we tried but we you couldn't get the Door open the officers clearly did not believe me and how could they IID
also find it hard to believe that entire bar disappeared in a matter of minutes after they took all of our statements individually they dressed us all together I'm not sure what's going on here but all of your statements match up I can tell you that nothing has been down there for several years let alone a bar we'll keep looking for your missing friend and keep an eye out for any Missing persons reported in the area an officer said I don't really remember getting home that night the next few days are a blur every Thursday I
drive to the site where we had that trivia night only to find that it Still Remains a decrepit old basement My Hope Is that when Lucy's barri appears I'll be there to ward off anyone who thinks they're going in for a fun night and my advice for you is if you ever find yourself participating at a trivia night in a new Place that you're unfamiliar with make sure you win and all right guys that wraps up unexplainable true Reddit stories I really hope you enjoyed this video I enjoyed reading these stories and I hope you
