It was about 4 years ago now when I used to sleep at my cousins house, it had been a really hot day so me and my cousin decided to camp out in my tent in his back garden. We invited 4 of our friends to sleep over with us.

We were really bored so we decided to make a oiji board, (A spirit in a glass) any way we had done it a couple of times in the past and it had never of worked, our mates would start being stupid and start moving the glass pretending it was the spirit, but this night was different. For some reason I didn't want to play I was getting a horrible feeling, I don't know maybe it was because I was hot, any way my cousin went up stairs and got a MATCH STICK and put it in his pocket and didn't tell anybody that he had it in his pocket, he only told me because I wasn't doing the oiji board, and he never cheated at doing it.

So it must have been about 11:00pm when I said to my cousin if I could go and get his dog and bring him in the tent, when I went in the house and got the dog, I brought him in the garden and he wouldn't go near the bicycle witch was near the tent so I started to get scared because I had read other articles about this stuff. But I got the dog and took him to the tent when I looked in the tent everyone was scared ragged because they were whiter than anything and ther hands were shaking. I asked if they were all alright when we all heared a load bang like someone falling then we heard something like cocking, and when we looked out side we saw the bike peddle going around then we look around and there in the corner were it was really dark, was like a fat dark figure, and the the dog started to howl at the object then the dog ran in side, and I wasn't wasteing no time, I ran in the house and so did everybody else.

I found out a couple of days later of my cousins mum that about 20 years ago some old woman had passed away near the old peoples home were my cousin lives, he lives right next to the old peoples home.

I didn't go to my cousins house for at least 8 months, and do you blame me, I talk to him about it now and then but we have never camped out in his back garden since! I'm sorry if I have spelt anything wrong! Karl David Hewitt.
