It was the night after halloween and my friends and i went off roading at 2 o'clock in the morning in a national forest just outside the desert. All of us were in trucks and tearing up the road when we decided to travel up a narrow fire road in search of an abandoned mansion. We found it, nothing to special except the bullet holes in the walls and stains on the wall. Buit i started to see shadows darting in the brush. We kept the headlights of the trucks on so we would have some light and at times the lights would dim all at the same time and then brighten again.

As we headed down the mountain i saw what looked like a small boy standing on the side of the road, but no on else saw it. I saw him about 2 miles down only it was a man this time and he was crying. Again, no one else saw him. About five minutes later the guy driving lost control of the truck and we flipped 15 times down the side of the mountain, stopping 10 feet short of a 200 foot cliff. I was unconscious and when i woke up i could hear my friends trying to get me out of the car but all i could see was a black shadow in front of my face and something was holding my hand.

I was trapped in the car, it was upside down so it couldn't have been one of my friends. i passed out again because i had broken the window with my head so naturally i had a concussion. When they were pulling me out i started to come around and i started to scream because my hand was burning as though it was on fire, the area where the shadow was holding my hand.

I woke up in the hospital with tubes everywhere and a little drugged out and i saw a shadow figure at the edge of my bed looking in my direction and my hand started to burn again. I screamed and the nurses ran in to see the flesh on my hand burning and black smoke filling the room. That was the last time i saw the shadow.
