Whispers in the woods
posted September 26, 2009 - 1:27amA long time ago in my late teens me my sister and our boyfreinds went camping in a local camp grounds that was surrounding a lake, very beautiful park with plenty of fun summer activities like swimming or fishing or even a good game of volley ball, we swam and played most of the day then headed to our camp area to build a fire to cook dinner , we would need the few hours of sun light to finish the setting up we had not done in our hurry to go swimming on the other side of the lake.
Usually the park was full of campers but for some reason maybe because it was in the middle of a work week and most people camped on weekend we were among three other sets of campers from what i could see and each camping area was at least thirty yards away.....any way after dinner and a few beers some story telling about family and freinds it was time to turn in to sleep me and my sister had our own tent and the two guys had their own single sleeper tents....some time after lights out i woke up having to go pee, so there i sat in the dark looking for my other shoe and a flash light when all of a sudden i herd whispering... i stopped what i was doind and very gently shook my sister telling her in her ear to be very quiet cause some one was right out side of our tent whispering...so there we sat listening for hours or so it seemed listening to the faint sound of two people argueing, now for some reason we could not hear what they were saying only that they were argueing but the strandest part is their were no other campers with in ears distance we could barely see the tops of a tent from where we were when we had gone to bed and now all a sudden it was as if the voices were right out side, now this went on forever as i mentioned before and by this time i had forgotten i needed to pee...laying there in the dark we suddenly heard one final strange noise of the night and to me it sounded like a kid playing with fire crackers...well i geuss i must have fallen asleep because when me and my sister awoke it was day break and time to pack up and head home, we had also planned on stopping at the shoneys breakfast buffet on the way....crawling out of my tent the first thing i noticed was cops, cops every where, about thirty yards away, you could see the yellow tape they were putting up when some one gets murdered...well curiosity got the better of me and so i walked over, about the lengh of a city block one way just to ask what happened...turns out husband and wife had had a small fight over an alcoholic beverage and the husband had shot his wife point blank in the face...killing her...well he did not stay after that according to the police cause the vehicle he and the mrs. had checked in to the camp grounds was gone......next came the qeustion and to this day i'll never understand it but i was ask what i had heard, and how was i to explain i had heard angry whispers a cities block lengh away...and what about the muffled sounds of a fire cracker going off... needless to say, i've never been camping since....
