haunting of the Ozark hallows story<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nI may have a few other haunting experiences but most of them are not worth writing about.\u00a0 I have never even seen a UFO or a ghost. \ud83d\ude2f\u00a0\u00a0 I am very good at scaring myself, but I can’t say doing that originates from anything outside of my own mind.<\/p>\n
I still suffer PTSD from spooky things that we believed as kids. I would not want to be alone in a graveyard at night or even be alone in spooky places. After all, I would not want to wake the living dead there or the dead dead there. I have no love for zombies.<\/p>\n
I also do not like dark basements. When I was a kid, a number of us talked ourselves into believing that we saw strange things moving in basements while looking through basement windows. I never felt comfortable in dark basements after that. It did not help that rats would occasionally get in the basement where I lived as a young lad. They could make things go bump in the night.<\/p>\n
We lived next to a pipe-yard. The rats got big – real big. I will never forget the dark night that I carried two metal garbage cans from the back of the house to the front curb. While carrying the two cans by their handle, I saw what I first thought were two cats jumping out of the cans. The cats turned out to be two big rats. Need I say that from then on I started kicking garbage cans before picking them up?<\/p>\n
At 16 or 17 years of age my cousin and I were dropped off in a deep wooded river gorge to camp for the weekend. There were no other people in the gorge. After dark it was pouring rain so we were in the tent. Suddenly something was approaching the tent roaring and making sounds as if it were a bear or something. It was circling the tent.<\/p>\n
We knew it was no animal but we were not about to get soaked to try to find out who was crazy enough to act like that. It probably was nobody we knew because we were over an hour away from home and few people knew about the camping trip. Few teens even had cars in those days. It was only one person, what kind of person would even do that kind of prank alone? Nobody we knew ever confessed to doing it.<\/p>\n
We declared in a loud voice that we had machetes and would come out of the tent with them. We had a propane lantern in the tent and we made sure that the reflection of our raised machetes appeared on the wall of the tent. The noise soon got fainter and then stopped. A couple of minutes later we heard a car door shut in the distance and an engine start.<\/p>\n
Local prankster? Perhaps, but what kind of nut case stranger would come out in the pouring rain and walk around a tent roaring like a wild animal? The nearest town did have a state crazy house in operation back then. Maybe that explains it. That nut was not far from the tree.<\/p>\n
In that same gorge on another trip four or five of us hiked up to an old boy-scout camp that was unoccupied. It was almost dark. Suddenly we heard a very loud scream that made our blood turn cold. We all ran down the trail to get away from whatever made that sound.\u00a0There was only one road in and out of this remote unoccupied gorge so it could not have been a human hoax. No other car was down there but the car we came in.<\/p>\n
In hindsight, I think it was a cougar, but back in those days we did not believe that cougars existed anywhere but out west and maybe in the Florida Everglades. Today, even in Missouri we\u00a0 have occasional sightings of mountain lions. I guess it also could have been a Bigfoot? \ud83d\ude44 We camped several times in that gorge after that but we never heard that sound again. We did start bringing 22 rifles with us. That remote gorge was a spooky place at night. Owls, and falling rocks from the 200 foot cliffs on each side of the river bed often broke the silence.<\/p>\n
People went missing in that gorge. When hiking down the gorge river bed we saw missing person posters on trees. At least two people went missing in that gorge in the same year.\u00a0 I have camped in hundreds of places since then but never found anywhere as spooky as that gorge. Maybe that is why we liked camping there. That river gorge is now day use only. I hear it was closed to camping because they had trouble down there at night.<\/p>\n
Who knows, maybe spooky stories and spooky video’s create their own offspring. \ud83d\udc7f That would explain a lot of what is now going on in the world.<\/p>\n
