I am 17 years old. My name is Mariana, and I go to college in the Philippines.This is my sad and odd story about me and my very best friend. It’s nearly summer, this happened two years ago. At the stroke of midnight, I try to send a message to my friend:
Karen: “hello you still there? or am I disturbing your sleep?”
Me: “hey Karen, so glad your still awake! no your not disturbing me”
Karen: “okay?! hey, I saved up some food for tomorrow so you can stay here for a night.”
Me: “ohh thanks! so you mean I can have a sleep over?”
Karen: “of course you can. Do you want tomorrow night?”
Me: “okay! thanks oh I’ll bring some pillows and some lollies”
Karen:”……………….” She’s out. I call her and text her but she doesn’t answer my call nor reply.
The next morning I was at school and she was supposed to meet me at the entrance gate. The bell has already rang and I thought she had already gotten inside. I decided to look for her so I could ask her about what happened to her last night. I didn’t realize that she was actually not at school that day.
I still don’t know what happened to her since that night before her message seems to have been sent in a panicking way (like she send it without thinking) and it didn’t even say anything.
That night a message had been sent for me, “good bye and take care and don’t ever forget me” I was shocked when I read that message. It was more like a farewell. I decided to call Karen, when I was about to get my cell phone I felt goosebumps. My body felt so cold. It felt very odd, I forget to call her but instead I watched the tely.
The show is my favourite and also Karen’s favourite.I heard someone’s giggles that broke the silence. I wasthe only one who was in the house and no one else. I switched the tely off then someone cried out, “oh.. come on someone’s trying to watch here!” I was so afraid. I hurried to my room and I buried my head in the pillows and I fell asleep.
The next morning I heard someone knocking and calling me at the front door. I hurried down and opened the door to find Karen’s parents at the door sobbing. They hugged me so tight that I couldn’t hardly breathe.
They told me that, “all of us can get over all the obstacles of life, the pain and suffering.” I had no idea what they were talking about and Karen’s mom burst out saying, “Karen why did you do this?” I tried to comfort them and I walked with them to their home. The first thing I recognized that was pretty weird was that there was a guest book in front of their door. In the living room I spotted a coffin with a picture of Karen. I looked inside and found Karen smiling. I couldn’t believe it, she can’t be dead. “how, why…” my last two words.
Then I started to cry softly, suddenly the police came inside and put down their hats. They began to walk to Karen’s parents, “we have no clue who did this.” I began to ask Karen’s mother where did they find her. Karen’s mother, “when I was going to the toilet I found Karen cross- legged sitting with her hand holding her cell phone, while the other hand was holding a knife attached to her head and she was smiling.” Her mother continued, “they sent her to the hospital but she was already dead an hour ago.”
Suddenly a stranger stared at Karen and told Karen’s mom that she has been controlled by a girl who suffer from her boy friend that never replied then she discovered that the boy was cheating. The girl liked the boy so much that she would have given her life for him. But that changed when she realized that the boy was cheating on her and she decided to commit suicide, after all no one loves her. She controlled Karen and forced her to commit suicide. She chose this girl because every one loved her.
One night, I was sleeping in my room. It was quite early and I was a little tired so I decided to take a small nap. After my nap, I was hungry so I went to go make myself a soup. Then I realized that my brother wasn’t home yet from his soccer practice and would arrive shortly so I decided to make him a soup too. I sat down at the table and started eating my soup. I heard a strange noise, like a slurping noise. I said to myself, ok, no one else is in the house. So I was a little bit freaked out about that. I finally told myself that it was my imagination and went to take my mind off it by watching television.
As I was watching TV, I needed to go to the bathroom so I got up and passed by the kitchen table. I looked at my brother’s plate and saw that the bowl that was full 10 minutes ago was now empty and the spoon was just next to the bowl. OH MY GOD!
I went back to my room and sat on my bed. I couldn’t believe what was happening. I then went to the bathroom and decided I was going to take a shower. It was really relaxing and then all of a sudden I just felt like energy was being sucked out of me. I thought it was because of the heat so I got out, put my p-jays on and just went straight to bed.
It was about 4.00 am when I woke up and I just saw this little girl, about 11 years old with beautiful gold blond hair. She was just sitting on my bed blinking at me. She did not say a word. I felt as if my face was frozen and I couldn’t scream or move. I was like a statue.
Finally I forced my mouth open and let out a little peep. The spirit said to me, I’m lost, can you help me find my way to the light where I belong. I do not wish to scare you but if I am scaring you, please just tell me and I will leave. I finally gained sensation again and said to her, Child, you are frightening me. Please go away where you need to belong. You belong in heaven and I will guide you there. In a couple of hours the sun will rise, follow the sound of the chirping birds and the warm sensation of the sun. You will reach Heaven and be happy there.
She tried to approach me and give me hug but I pulled the covers over my head and when I took a little peek she was still there. I told her, please go back, reach your destiny. She looked at me as if she was lost. (in the moon) I just continued to stare at her and finally the sun was rising and she looked at me and said, good bye it is my time to leave. And she just left. I was just so shocked I couldn’t go back to bed.
The next day, we went to my grandfather’s house and I felt as if I had some kind of connection with the spirit so I asked my grandfather to show me some old pictures and the girl that I saw the night before was there! Right there in the picture frame! So I asked him who it was and he said, That was my little sister. She died when she was only 11. She got hit by a car. That’s when it reality hit me. I felt like I had just smashed into a brick wall. The little girl never came back to me again.
Two girls wanted to spend the night on the beach because they loved the beach but their parents wouldn’t let them because they thought they were too young. That didn’t stop the two girls as for the one girls (Lisa) had the idea that they would tell eachother’s parents that they were going to sleepover at one anothers house and that way the parents would never know.
The girls were laughing as they got to the beach to find out that their plan had worked, they layed out a towel and looked out into the ocean and were planning to do so till they fell asleep. Before the girls were able to fall asleep Lisa caught a flashing light to the right of her. Before the girls knew it a cop aproached them and told them to leave the beach because it was closed. The girls left the beach as tired as hell and they knew that they couldn’t walk home because then they would get in trouble. The girls figured they would sleep in the park near their houses. The girls were way too tired to walk because they have already walked a hell of a long way just to get to the beach. The girls could walk no more so they took a seat at a local Taco Bell. The girls ready to fall asleep in their seats were aproached by a large van that an older man was driving and there was his wife in the passenger seat. The older man was worried for the girls to be out so late and asked what they were doing. The girls explained the whole story. The man said “Well if you really need some place to go you can join us at our house because it is real dangerous out here”. Lisa eager to say yes said “Well we really shouldn’t but we are very tired”. The girls made up their mind to not go even though they knew the old people were just being friendly.
Barely able to stay awake let alone walk the girls walked home and told their parents what happened and each of the girls were grounded but not just for what they did but for a more in deapth reason. Apparently a warning came on the news the night the girls were out about an older couple in a van picking up young unaccompanied minors, taking them back to their house and raping/murdering them and that everyone should keep a look out.
On a dark and stormy night, my friends and I decided to go ghost hunting.
At first it was all fun and games, we didn’t truly believe in ghosts, until now, that is. Anyway, we were all just hanging out at the Grand Prairie cemetery around midnight when Chelsea decided she had to pee. So she went behind a grave stone and took a wiz. We all thought it was quite funny that she peed in a cemetery until we heard the scariest scream ever! We thought she was a goner!
Ashleigh ran to see what was wrong, and left me sitting there by myself. I can’t stand even haunted houses that I KNOW are fake. But, I was dealing. I was looking around, kinda worried about Chelsea, but then I saw this creepy figure walking toward me, it got real cold and I couldn’t move. I froze, facing the dark figure.
I wasn’t sure what to do, whether I should scream or talk to it? I’ve never been so scared in my life. I couldn’t hear Chelsea and Ashleigh talking anymore, it was like I was all alone in the world with this ghost. It grabbed my arm and threw me on the ground, and ripped off my shirt. My face covered with mud, and the ghost man still standing there, I heard Chelsea scream again!
By this point I was more worried about my own life than hers, so I jumped up and ran toward the car! I looked back and could see Chelsea and Ashleigh following me to the car at a rapid pace. As soon as we were all in the car, I saw blood running down Ashleigh’s face. We checked her out to see why she was bleeding, but there were no cuts or anything.
She went to put the key in, and couldn’t find it. She must have left it in the cemetery. Shirtless, and cold I decided I would make the run to get the key, ya know, to save my friend’s lives. I opened the door slowly, scared of what might be out there. So I closed my eyes, stood up and ran toward the cemetery.
I looked around for a moment and saw the ghost holding the key. I determined all on my own that we were officially screwed. Thank God Ashleigh screamed that she had a spare, even though I had already run into the cemetery to get her original one.
So, once I was back in the car, crying, cold, and scared Ashleigh turns on the car passes and we called it a day. We get home, and enjoyed a nice cup of cocoa. But the next day, I went to shower and I saw a huge handprint on my wrist where the ghost had grabbed me. I will always remember this night.
