Forest of Nightmares
It was October the 9th, 2011. That Sunday, I was feeling lazy and bored, sitting inside on my computer. I decided to go out. There is a place where quite a few people go near my town called Pine Ridge. It's a nice area but a part of it was converted into a BMX park by kids. I decided to meander about, and came to a tree with graffiti on it in the shape of an arrow.
I don't know why, but I turned in the direction the way the arrow was pointing and walked. Coming to the front of another tree, I see a tiny note attached to the it, a blotched rusty drawing pin keeping it in place. I pulled the drawing pin out with my coat zipper and slowly opened the mysterious note.
It was a set of coordinates.
I rushed home, excited and confused as to what this meant and where this was. I zoomed upstairs and turned on my computer, logged in, opened up Google Earth right away and typed in the coordinates. I was pretty pissed off. It wasn't far from where I just was. Either way I observed the way and got walking, it was 19:30 by this time.
It took 30 minutes to get to the gate I saw on the maps. Opening the gate, I slowly walked through. Considering it took me half an hour to walk here, it must've been about 2 miles from town. Without light pollution, the sky was so clear and starry and the moon was radiantly beautiful, but I didn't know my night would go from that, to this...
I walked through the field. Every shadow staring at me like they were alive, I quickly walked through the gate at the other end of this field. Cautiously walking around the windy path, everything got creepier as I got closer to this place, the trees twisted, their holes looking like mangled faces. It didn't help that I could hear screaming deer. My heart was pounding, I really wanted to turn back, but my curiosity got the better of me. I stepped off the path into a tiny clearing surrounded by trees much more frightening than the ones before. Just in my peripheral vision, in the moonlight, I saw another note. I took it out of the tree, from what looked like a broken mouth and tried my best to read it. It read: Turn around, take 10 steps and sit.
I did. After 10 minutes of sitting, I heard scratching, scratching on a tree. I looked around at the menacing trees, their empty eye sockets defined by the moon, but saw no animal that could've been making such a sound. "I want to go," I kept repeating. Thinking I had to sit still, shortly after the scratching stopped, I heard the rustle of many leaves. This was very strange because it wasn't even a windy night and I wasn't moving, but then... I heard it, at first it sounded like people talking, but there was no one nearby. Soon, I heard loud disembodied voices shrieking through the night. I couldn't take it anymore! I got up and ran like never before, evil sounds still echoing through the forest as birds flew from the trees...
This was the forest of nightmares, and that was my experience...
