ghosts and devils, and these stories still obsess me now. This event happened when I
participated in a camp that created “challenges” for children.
(where I was) By coincidence, the camp was adjacent to a cemetery, which made the
challenges even more intense.
(who you were with) At 2 a.m., a deafening alarm woke everyone up and the game was
ordered to start. We were a group of 7- to 8-year-olds, and we had to work with each other
under the silence and darkness of the night.
(and explain why you were scared) At one station, the challenge was to solve cryptograms
inside the cemetery. We were very focused on the cryptograms, but I freaked out when I felt
something fishy behind my back. I turned around and jumped out of my skin when saw a
person in an outfit full of blood. I screamed and passed out. Being unconscious, I have no
clue what happened after that, but I remember coming round at my house. My friends told
me that the “ghost” had to bring me home. This may be an absurd story, but it is a night I will
never forget my whole life.
