I won't go back here
The night started out normal... My girlfriend came to see me. Her and 2 friends and I were driving around trying to think of something to do.... The girls get this grand idea to go to a haunted place and get scared.. I was like okay I know a lot of places to go....so they said alright lets go... I decided to take them to a cemetery that I didn't much like and was kind of scared of.... as we are on our way.... I hit a cat.... I don’t know why that serves any purpose to the story but I thought I would add that... as we are pulling down the gravel road to the cemetery I’m getting Goosebumps thinking about what kind of things could be lurking in that cemetery.... things like ghosts, poltergeists, apparitions etc. So as we are pulling up I ask them... would you like to get out and walk through or drive through.... we all agreed on walking.... the cemetery set up is like this.... There is one road that loops around and comes back to the gate. The gate is a set of double swinging doors, then on the outside near the road there is a row of pine trees going along the driveway.... if your wondering why I am describing it from back to front is cause I would rather talk about LEAVING... we walk through the gates and as we are walking down the path I catch the gates closing out of the corner of my eye.. at first I thought I was nuts cause when we stopped and looked the gates weren't moving.... but as we started to walk more the gates began to close more and more.... the wind sounded like a high pitch hiss and we heard some sort of a squeaking coming from across the cemetery.... the squeaking appeared to be getting closer and we decided to get the hell out.... so we jumped in the car and started heading out of there... we got a ways down the road and I asked the rest of the group.... isn't that an adrenaline rush?..... They all agreed and since I was driving we turned around and went back.... as we are coming over the hill the headlights shine on a sign... normally the whole sign would light up.... and reflect... but it didn’t only a small corner of the sign reflected the light.... then that small corner turned black and then just as soon as the corner turned black the whole sign reflected the light... we all noticed but I didn’t care.... we pulled into the driveway and we were just going to drive through the cemetery.... but as the front of the car got even with the gate..... EVERYONE in the car got these eerie chills down the spine... I still didn’t care.... so I pulled farther into the cemetery.... all of a sudden the chills got worse.... the car started to cut out.... and EVERYONE was nauseous.... so I decided we were going to leave.... I backed out and started headed down the gravel road... as we are going down this gravel road there is a big black cow standing along side the road.... it could just be a big coincidence but I added it because it happened.... I don’t know if anyone considers this scary but we sure did.... and if you think we were just scaring ourselves.... guess again.... we went to 3 other cemeteries and did not get the same feeling of unwanting that we got at the one cemetery.
