Nightmares
I have nightmares all the time. But last night they were just constant. One of them was so bad that I screamed like bloody murder and my mom had to come wake me up. I just remember I was walking down my hall way and I stopped for just a moment and all of a sudden a demon face came lunging out of the wall right at me (like it was apart of the wall, not like a ghost coming through) and I jumped back and started screaming and I guess I was so terrified that I screamed in real life. Please don't let me go to sleep to another nightmare tonight.
Sabrina R.'s Story - The Devil's Tramping Ground
My brother, Sanford, my friend, Beth, and I started our own paranormal group. It is different from all others because the only one who doesn't get scared is my brother. Beth and I are chickens and tend to take off running. Other groups frown on this action so we had to start our own. We named it Scaredy Catz Paranormal Society. We go to real places and investigate but we are also funny because of the chicken factor. Our scariest happened at the Devil's Tramping Ground in Siler City, NC.
According to Wikipedia, it is one of North Carolina's oldest legends. For over 100 years nothing has grown in this 40 foot circle in the forest. It is said that if you place something in the circle at night it will be found outside the circle in the morning. A United States Geological Survey team could uncover no scientific explanation for the lack of growth within the ring. Legend says that this is the place the devil rises from hell, devil walks in circles on certain nights to plot evil against humanity. It is said that when the devil is near there is a sulfur smell that gets stronger the closer he gets.
With this knowledge and our equipment, we finally arrived there after going to the wrong place at first. The first thing to happen to us is that when we were backing the car up to park we got stuck and the car wouldn't go into reverse. After some maneuvering we were able to get the car parked. Thinking it might have been a ditch, we looked after getting out of the car. There wasn't a ditch. I have no explanation of this and have found no accounts of this happening to anyone else. We walked to the circle and the first thing we noticed is how creepy it felt and how quiet it was. We didn't hear any bugs or birds. We did hear a cow in the distance that made Beth and I jump until we realized it was a cow. My brother started asking questions and taking some pictures. I was video taping our encounter and Beth was also taking pictures. My brother caught some voice recordings that seemed to match what he was asking. By now Beth and I were very scared, we kept seeing a dark figure standing between two trees and it felt very wrong. We heard noises that we couldn't explain. After we were there for awhile the three of us started smelling sulfur and getting nauseated. We decided this was probably a good time to leave. Less than a minute after leaving my brother had to pull the car over because I had to vomit. After about 10 minutes we were all feeling better, as if we hadn't been nauseated at all.
Once we started reviewing our evidence, we found the video picture didn't come out, it was just black, but it did record some of what we were saying and the voice recordings my brother had caught. The only thing that did come out was three pictures. The first two were taken from the same camera and the last one from a different camera. In the first picture you could see half of what looks like a demonic face. In the second you can see the progression to a full demonic face. In the last picture you can see what looks to be a demon standing in front of two trees. This last picture was taken at the same time you hear us on the recording saying that there was a dark shape by two trees. The three pictures show this progression from a partial face to a full body. This scared me so bad I don't think I will be returning to the Devil's Tramping Ground.

Want to know what haunts my thoughts sitting in the dark?
This face, or at least something similar. When sitting in the complete dark and no sounds to listen to, my mind starts flipping out and playing tricks on me. After it's done with that, my imagination kicks in to gear and causes so many thoughts that scary faces appear in my head haunting me until I fall asleep huddled under the blanket at night in sheer terror.
