Recently, I had the misfortune of finding myself alone in a Really Scary
Place. I had just went over to my friend, Oakshadow's apartment to help
him move in. The apartment itself was really nice; cheery, decorated to
the teeth, and so on. In the course of helping him move in, I went down
with him into the basement, to put things in his storage room down
there.
I'd been in much scarier-looking basements before. This one was large,
clean, and well-lit. I helped Oak move a few things in, not really
thinking much of it until he asked me to take the last thing down by
myself. I trudged down the stairs and across the floor to his storage unit
when I suddenly got that Scary Kind Of Feeling. You might know what I
mean...the same kind of feeling that made you leap into bed just after you
turned out the lights so that no scaly arm could grab you and pull you
under the bed. As a kid, I frequently leapt into bed like that, sometimes
right on top of a carelessly-placed Millenium Falcon. D'oh-owwww! I could
almost hear Han Solo inside...
"Chewie, what was that?"
"Rooooooonnk!"
I took off running, across the floor, up the stairs, and into the
apartment. Panting, the first things out of my mouth was "Dude, I *hate*
your basement!"
Only later did I notice how much I really *did* hate the place. It's not
that I heard moaning, or chains rattling, or anything like that, (though
that's not always so much of the sign of ghosts as it is kinky
neighbor) After some consideration, and realizing my webpage was in
horrible need of
updating, I decided to spend the night in that spooky basement, and write
about it later.
Now, I must admit, I don't really think the place has ghosts... raised a good Catholic kid, I don't even believe in ghosts. But, if any place *were* haunted, as far as places I've been to (including Waynesville, Ohio, called "America's Most Haunted Village") this place is. Without further ado, here's some pictures and my summery of The Night I Slept In A Kind Of Spooky Basement.
Summary My Summary of that night.
