My 1st horror story

“NEVER EVER”

By: Larah Trance

Never play with a ghost, that’s what others say. But my friends and I were different; ghost hunting is one of our favorite pastime. We usually do it at old schools, abandoned houses and even on a cemetery. But one night, it was different, something went wrong.

We dared each other one Friday night to scan the cemetery grounds. There was a full moon and the night was bright. As we entered the grounds, we knew that the moon would be instrumental on what we intended to do that night.

Consisting of 7 girls and one boy, we wandered through the cemetery. Lorraine, one of my friends, suddenly told us that she felt something extraordinary. We took it lightly and continued talking and joking around treating the dare simply as a game. Before reaching the gate, I felt something different. I tried to tell them that we should just leave, but they didn’t listen and even told me, that I was just scared to do it. Even though, I had that strange feeling, I continued on walking and join them.  As we were walking, my friends started joking around the tombs and pretending to be zombies.

An hour had passed and everything was still normal, my best friend and I were talking about school, while the others were playing “enter2x”. Until, Carla one my friends, suddenly collapsed. We were in shock, some of us even panicked. And Mitch, our nurse, tried to wake her up but still had no effect. We tried to go out of the cemetery to rush her, to the nearby hospital but as we tried to go out the gates suddenly closed it’s like the cemetery won’t let us out. So we decided, to let her breath and tried to wake her up. Then suddenly my friend Diane was so scared she tried opening the gate, she punched the gate, and kept on saying let us out!!  Then suddenly, as I turned my back to see if she’s still there, to my surprise she was there, but lying on the ground.  I went to her to check if she was okay, as I looked at her into her eye, she suddenly burst out and strangled me, as I looked at her. Her eyes were all white it was like she was being possessed, she kept on saying “get out of here!!” and screamed. It was the scariest thing that I have seen, she then let go of me, and I fell down on the ground and bumped my head.  

As I wake up, the first thing on my mind was where were my friends? I ignored the pain that I felt, and the next thing I knew, my head was bleeding. I wandered around the grounds to see if my friends were still there. For an hour of searching, I almost lost hoped then I saw Gino, the only guy in our group. I saw him with Mitch, Paige, Lorraine, Hillarie and Carla who’s still unconscious. I asked if Diane was ok, they answered me, and that she already died after she was possessed. At that time, I didn’t know what to do, who will be next to die, I was so confused and scared. 2 hours had passed it was 2 in the morning, we were all still shocked of what happened, then suddenly, we heard a faint scream.  Mitch and Lorraine volunteered to check if the gate has opened, I couldn’t stop them, because we had no way it our but through the gate.  As, I watched them approaching to the gate, I screamed because I saw 2 men in black suits in their backs, but I was too late to run to them. I told the group what I had seen, at first they didn’t believe me, but at the later part they did believe me that I was right. My friend Paige wants to make sure that Mitch and Lorraine were all right, she wanted to go near the gate, but I told her not to. She was hard-headed and the same things had happened to her. The only people left in the group was the four of us me, Gino, Hillarie, and Carla. We didn’t know what to do, so we just prayed and prayed until I saw a light that led us to freedom, it was a gate at the back of the cemetery but I was in shocked because it wasn’t there, when we first entered.  But despite, my feeling I led them to safety, we finally got out of that nightmare.

  A year had passed since we encountered that incident; we still didn’t know who took our friends, who were those men in black suits. One thing’s for sure, we will not go back to that creepy cemetery again. And that my friends and I will stop ghost hunting, we already learned our lesson, not to play with ghosts. And we will always treasure each other and no matter what appends we’ll still be friends and just to trust God, have faith in him, that he is their always.
