my friend Brian and I used to be big on Urban exploration especially in the dark about a half hour drive away from our houses is an old hospital SL Asylum that's been abandoned for decades it hasn't been torn down because it's in a really secluded location and it would just cost too much money Brian and I wanted to bring a Ouija board along with us and explore it one Thursday night pulling into the unlit parking lot and seeing the massive structure Standing Tall in the night even we were having second thoughts gangs were known to
hide out in this building or at least that's been rumored surprisingly there didn't seem to be any security patrolling the perimeter so the process of getting in was pretty easy we found a broken window that seemed to have been made into a common entryway by other Urban explorers and delinquents Brian and I have a lot of experience exploring abandoned structures at night and admittedly even we were creeped out by this building we made our way to the highest floor and did a little exploring up there there were so many holes in the floor that our
confidence in the structure holding our weight was low the floors were creaky and soft in certain spots and there were rooms that led into dark nothingness every time I'd shine my light down into one of them I'd have the haunting thought of someone or something being inside one of them we found a good spot to set up the Ouija board and candles yeah we went all out with this when the candles were lit Brian and I placed our hands on the planet and began our attempt at communicating with some kind of spirits we weren't really
the type to joke around with it so we weren't pushing it around ourselves just to mess with each other however the planet didn't move the whole time maybe that was because our Ouija board session was interrupted when we heard a creaking noise coming from inside one of the dark open rooms nearby it wasn't just a fluke noise it was a steady consistent creaking once every one or two seconds Brian and I quietly packed up our stuff and he whispered to me to go Shine the Light inside of the room I whispered he's got to be
crazy what if gang members were in there Brian whispered forget it I'll do it I whispered no but he either ignored me or didn't hear me he tiptoed over to the doorway which was pointless given that he'd be shining a light into the room however he never even turned that light on because before he could a distinct quiet short yet sharp laughing or cackling could be heard coming from inside the room it sounded like an older woman's cackle it was the most disturbing moment of my life Brian screamed run and we both ran down the
10 flights of stairs and back out the window we climbed in through we continued running all the way back to my car and drove out of the woodsy property we swore to never go back there and we haven't the thing that sucks is that we usually recorded our visits to places like this and one of the few times we didn't the most disturbing moment of my life took place [Music] It Happened One Night when my parents and I were hearing noises coming from outside of our Farmhouse the best way I could describe the noises were
various types of cracking and thud sounds my dad and I met in the living room to discuss what we should do because we were positive that there must have been people out there stealing our produce my Dad ran to his gun closet and Drew his shotgun and together we stormed outside into the night turning on all the lights mounted on the outside walls of the house my dad apparently saw somebody because he started yelling stop as he ran to the crops I followed him and I too started to spot legs running underneath the crops the
legs of two or more people my dad called at me to keep up with him as he chased down the thieves in the dark approaching the woods after running about 50 ft into the woods my dad stopped and reached out his arm to signal for me to stop as well as I was choking for air while out of breath I watched my dad as he stood in place looking around us I swear we were standing still for like 30 seconds in silence I didn't have the energy to ask what he was doing but eventually I
caught on I saw what my dad was looking at there was a person standing about 10 ft away from us but all I could see was his face since he was mostly covered by a bush the sound of an October Leaf crunching nearby revealed there to be another person standing only 10 ft away as my dad and I looked around more carefully we realized there were more than just two guys watching us there were seven or eight or nine or even more my dad slowly looked back at me and then back at the person closest
to him what made the scene so much more disturbing we could only see the people's faces which were partially illuminated by the Moonlight my dad took a few steps back and broke the Silence by saying we're leaving we both started walking backwards noticing the people were inching closer at the same time my dad waved the shotgun around to let them all know he was armed when we made it past the tree line and back onto the property we he sprinted back to the house I'd never seen my old man run so fast in his life
he slammed the door behind him and watched the windows with the gun still in his hand while I called the Sheriff's Office the cops took a while to respond about 15 minutes and the two officers that showed up were very unhelpful they only asked questions and took down notes they didn't actually go looking for the group we encountered the cops left within 10 minutes but It ultimately didn't matter because by the next day nothing happened so we assumed it was over and it was there was never any followup to this a friend and I were
on a road trip from South Carolina to Jersey where we'd be meeting with a bunch of friends we left late in the day to avoid traffic we were somewhere in Maryland when my friend had to get off the highway to find the nearest bathroom I don't mean to piss I mean he had the runs all of a sudden and needed to go really badly we were driving around some desolate Town looking for a place for him to go there was practically no traffic and all the store lights were off the place was a ghost town
the further from the highway we got the quieter and creepier the surroundings got as well eventually we came across a small 24-hour ghetto looking Dunkin Donuts it was an outlet though so we had to pull around the strip to a basically hidden parking lot around back there was not a single other car in the lot it was so hidden that nobody would ever find it unless they were looking for it we knew we were in a sketchy area so I begged him to just hurry back he said he'd be back in no less than half
an hour as he cracked a smile reminding me of his annoying humor he ran off around the building as I sat in the car windows rolled up and doors is locked a pretty bad motion sickness was still wearing off so I figured it wouldn't hurt to step outside for half a minute just to get some fresh air as I stood outside in that lot I was constantly examining my surroundings it took me a while to take notice to somebody standing all the way down at the far side of the parking lot now it was dark
but I could still tell they were facing the direction of the car in direct response to that I got back in the car and locked the door once again I guess that was a bad move because the person at the end of the lot started slowly yet menacingly approaching the car maybe whoever that person was saw my reaction as cowardice and therefore saw me as an easy target either way I texted my friend to come back right away since he had the keys and explained why the person was getting closer slowly but surely I desperately
stared at the screen awaiting my friend's response just like a guy awaiting a response from his Crow Rush by the time my friend answered the text he said wait for real I replied yes within the same 2 seconds he answered back with laughing my ass off all right be right out I texted back this is serious dude the person was a couple hundred feet away at this point he was so close that I was about to get out of the car and run my friend came running around the building just in time he spotted the
guy right away and hopped in the car we took off with only seconds to spare we stopped a couple blocks down the road to catch our breath and discuss my heart was still racing and I was still in panic mode Meanwhile my friends started to find it more and more hilarious eventually far enough into the ride I was able to laugh about it but still it was scary and still is scary to think about what would have happened if that person made it to the car maybe nothing maybe he just wanted to change or maybe
a lot worse
