First the backstory of the block. Before there were houses built on that block(houses have just started being built recently) it was just a trail through the woods(it still is pretty narrow) that ends in a small cliff overlooking the ocean. One night a guy was going down there on a quad, did not see the cliff, and fell off the end and died. Now his spirit is supposed to haunt the street to keep others from doing the same thing. The spirit is supposed to manifest itself as a light that chaces you out of the block if you go to the end, turn your car off, and sit there. I have even heard of people being pushed backwards while there car was in park.

Story not involving me:

My friend Danielle and her friend Rob(this happened before I knew her) went down Bedell to explore the legend. While driving down the street, something came out of the woods and hit the side of the car so hard that the car was pushed off the road. Danielle told me that there are claw marks in the door. I have not seen these marks, but she is supposed to show me them.

My experiences:

I have been to Bedell three times and have walked it all three times. The first time I went there I walked it alone and did not see anything. The second time I was walking with 3 of my friends. We brought flashlights with us this time. We made it to the end but my friend Pete was hearing things in the woods. The third time I went there I was in a car on the way down. Danielle and Q said that they saw a light(in keeping with the story), so me and Q got out to try and find the source of the light. We started walking toward the light source when Q saw someone. He told me to go get a flashlight from Danielle's car. When I turned around I saw that the car was gone. I told Q and we started walking out. We then heard someone following us out through the woods to our right. We started running and so did the person in the woods. When we got out, Danielle asked if me and Q had flashlights with us. When I told her no, she told me that there were two people down there with flashlights. While this i going on, Q is staring down one of the people(who is wearing camoflage). We finally get him to leave(as he was unaware at the time of the other people in the woods), then we went to other places which I will tell about in my next stories.

We also have been to the Conference House on the south end of Staten Island. On our frist trip there I broke away from the group and hid in the bushes to jump out and scare them. Then I hear my friends yell and start running out onto the street. We ran into a police truck. The officers asked us if what we were doing there then asked us if we heard any metal on metal noises. We said that we heard no noises but saw someone holding a candle in the house. They told us that some bigwig general lives there(even though the house is abandoned), then drove in to the house with their lights off. The second time we went there was the same day as our third trip to Bedell. We made sure to have flashlights with us then went in to the little path surrounding the house. We were approaching the house from behind(the last time we went there we approaches from the side) and saw that a light was on in the house. We went around the front of the house to the side where we saw the person with the candle. We shined our flashlights into the windows to search for someone. When we saw no one on the side, I desided to check the front of the house to see if anyone was there. As I rounded the corner of the house, I heard an animal-like scream followed by a womas scream. I ran to the street, followed by Danielle but no one else. I took Danielle's light(We only had 2 and I was holding them both at this point) and went back in to find out where everyone else was. I saw two of them leaving and gave them my light, and they went to the street while I went to find Q. I caught him in the beam from my light and he signed for me to turn the light off and get over by him. We watched as two people walked out of the house and we ran out to the street and well and told the others what we have seen.
