The Most Frightening Experience of My Life
The most frightening experience of my life
I have heard many people telling some frightening stories that they experienced in their lives. But those stories are not as terrifying as mine. It occurred in a foggy night in a small town called Luján in which i was accompanied by my boyfriend and my brother. Whenever I hear about Luján cemetery, it makes me recall a set of unpleasant feelings like fear and unease that I had once when I was there.

That day, in the morning, I was travelling with my family and my boyfriend to a peaceful and small town called Luján. While we were on the way, i was looking through the window; the leafy and fruitful trees daintily were swinging with the cool breeze. My father told me that day was the anniversary of my grandfather’s death. We decided to visit his tomb. Trough the day, my family and I were visiting all my relatives that resided in that place. At dusk, my parents were very busy to go to the cemetery. I suggested going at nightfall but they told me that I did not have to bother dead people at night, because many strange things could happen. I assumed that all those things were only superstitions. Finally, my boyfriend, my brother and I agreed to visit Luján cemetery.

At night, we were walking on a path that led to that cemetery .The sky was full of thick clouds and it was slightly foggy. The leaves and the twigs were ominously quiet, the air was freezing and we were chilled to the bone. At last, I saw a giant rusty gate. We supposed that it belonged to the cemetery. When we enter I could appreciate that it had a spooky appearance that it made my hair straighten up to see such terrifying place. Inside, we saw many rows of gravestones with extremely enigmatic carvings on them. When we were passing by the tombstones, suddenly we heard a strange noise coming from of a tomb. I felt a strange sensation and I was about to faint. We ran as quickly as possible screaming desperately, going out the cemetery.

Outside the cemetery,

    As we approached the front porch we could feel the eerie chills in the air. We walked through the front door and at first everything seemed normal, but after we had all crossed that initial threshold of the front door the house had hold of us. The door slammed shut behind us and locked all on its own, we were trapped inside… We quickly started to panick, looking for an escape. As we were searching for an exit the strangest things started to happen. We would see shadowy figures turning around corners, just to find no one there, bugs seemed to appear out of nowhere then scurry away, the eyes on paintings seemed to follow us as we ran through the house, and lastly the noises, they came from somewhere deep within the house and had no explanation. Each experience slightly more terrifying than the last; it was almost as if the house could sense our fear and was feeding off of it… Eventually we all ended up succumbing to fear and we just crippled over and gave in, the house had won. All of the legends and horror stories we had always heard about the house were real, today we discovered that they were true. The house had won, it had claimed its newest souls and feasted on their fear until nothing was left but the bones of its…

    The wind howled around me like a pack of starving wolves as I entered the cemeteries rusty iron gates. Yet it seemed so wild and chaotic that it reminded me of home, so it didn’t bother me at all, I was used to it. My brother’s headstone was only a ten minute walk away so I let myself drink in the moonlight and the memories the cemetery held. I remembered the first time I went there with my mother, just after Jason died... She led me down the now familiar mud track past the eerie, dancing trees, to the spot she planned on burying him. And it wasn’t until I was standing in front of the headstone that I realized he was gone ; that was the first time I truly cried. I slowly walked down the pebbly path and admired the cherry blossoms that were flourishing around the graveyard. It was a cold Aprils night and it was going to be dark soon.…

    You stumble across a cemetery and impulsively decide to take look around. Once you step inside, you immediately notice hundreds of tombstones scattered around. You take a long breath and move tentatively around knowing you have walked into the valley of death surrounded by silent souls. You look around and see the hollow eyes of death, smell the coldness of death, and hear the silent whispers of death. Tombstone after tombstone you wonder if that woman had a sister, what that young boy died from, what the old man did for a living, or why that young girl deserved to die. Tombstone after tombstone you suffocate in sorrow. Tombstone after tombstone you decide to maneuver your way out of the cemetery, but the smell of death sticks to your skin…

    My visit to the cemetery was very interesting. When I first read the assignment sheet, I didn’t want to visit the cemetery. I thought it was scary to visit a stranger; it turned out to be very fascinating. When I got to Kewanee Cemetery I got the goosebumps all over my body; six crows following me around, watching every step I took. After a while, I was more intrigued about the headstones that I even forgot about the crows. I was curious about their lives and how they might of live in a time of war, but even though, none of them inspired me to write about anything, into I got across Edward Tunnicliff headstone.…

    Smeltertown Ghost Town

    Just behind the cross, piles of rocks lay haphazardly on the ground some vanishing in the blowing dust and sand. More grave markers lay randomly among the rocks, one tombstone leaning against the wind, and three handmade crosses each topping a pile of rocks and debris. On the left, behind the leaning tombstone, a brown picket fence juts out of the ground surrounding what I can only assume is another tomb. Only the whisper of the wind as it beats against the grave markers can be heard in this desolate place. In the background, and barely visible against the brown and grey landscape, is a chain link fence separating the cemetery from a dusty, empty road. Beyond the road a glimpse of the abandoned ASARCO Smelter Works, an ore refinery and at one time, the economic center of…

    I woke up in the middle of the night to a whistling sound. I sat up and looked around, it was 2:00 in the morning. Suddenly, a book fell off of a nearby shelf all by itself. I quickly got up and went to find Viviane. It appears she is having the same ghostly experiences that I had. We wanted to get out of this creepy house, so we ran to the verandah. When we got there we saw a strand of beads hanging on the railing. I snatched them up and they began to glow. All of the sudden, we were both picked up by two ghosts, that were both women. They hovered in the air for a minute then took off, carrying us through the skies. We came to what looked like another plantation, and they dropped us in a grass clearing, and disappeared. We were so tired; we lay down and fell asleep before we could explore our new…

    Tired, with a headache, and not in capacity to maintain my eyes open, I remembered next day was Halloween, which was the last thing I remembered before falling sleep. I woke up and saw the watch, it was three o’clock a.m. I listened to a weird sound that came from my closet; it was soft, but I could hear it like a rat scratching the walls. Intrigued about what was happening, I woke up and walked towards the closet. The sound gave me the chills.…

    About an hour ago, we were meandering about the arboretum, walking through the various gardens, when we decided to go on the 3-mile drive. We piled in the car and began the slow journey through the winding hills and vast fields of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. We stopped to explore an old cabin turned museum, 3 tiny houses that teach kids about plants, and a giant tree that had once been struck by lightning. We soon reached the grove of cherry trees, and we all got out of the car to go and explore. I followed the trail up to the top of the tallest point in the arboretum, and I sat down on the short memorial wall that rings the top of the hill. My little sister had followed me up to the top, and when she got there she immediately climbed on top of the wall, and began walking on it. I got up and and walked around to the opening in the wall that allows you to get inside of it. The circle area created by the wall was all green grass, except for a small divot in the center that was dirt. I stepped on to it and I immediately heard a dead…

    Walking through the abandoned high school hallways was even scarier at night, especially with the news that had gone all around about two teens who were found dead in our school parking lot three weeks ago. To this day the killer is still on the run, nowhere to be found. Quickly I head towards my car and at the same time feel a cold shiver go up my spine, I try to ignore it. I realize itś a Friday the day when most teens head out to the cabin hidden deep within the woods to have some fun. My friend Grace and brother Caleb were going so why shouldn’t I ? Heading towards the cabin I keep remembering about that tingly sensation on my back giving me the chills it felt as if a spider had crawled all over me. “ No , just ignore it” I kept telling myself over and over. When I returned to my five senses I realized I had already passed the cabin, quickly I made a U-turn and coincidentally the car behind me did too. It didn't bother me much until after having driven for 10 minutes the same car was trailing me! I realized the driver was following…
