The story continues... While walking back, in the dark damp woods with Scott, Mohan, and Tara, we found a little trail on the right side that led straight down the hillside. We took it, and it was a short trip to the beach, which was nice. We hung out a bit, and then walked right back up onto the main trail, that led to where the trucks were. We came across the brick wall again, and I remembered that the trail which we found earlier, was something I wanted to check out. At this time, they agreed to go, but as we walked, it got extremely narrow, we had to walk in a single line.
Why we kept walking, who knows what we expected to find. We all ready found the ruins of the mental hospital, and this nature hike in the dark, was getting a bit tiring. Mohan led the way, then me, Tara, and Scott. The trees were really eeery, they seemed to curve around the trail. As we walked for about ten to 15 mins. it was then, we see the same flickering lights in the trees that we saw before. "Oh ya, I wonder what they are." I said. We were quiet, and as we got closer, we discovered it was tiny flames that were creating that light. When we came into plain view of the area, we stopped dead in our tracks. The trail ended in a muddy water. So we all just stood there, quiet, staring at the unbelievable thing we saw! I whispered, "someone must be here still," and Scott said something, like be quiet, someone is watching us.
There against the hillside, was a large old brick wall, with dozens of tiny lit, white candles, flickering in the slight breeze. All of the candles were lit and just floating there, spaced out, all over the wall. In the center of the wall, there was a dark hole. In front of the wall, was a tiny brick building, that had a black iron gate. From the trail, to the wall, water surrounded the area, so none of us walked over to it. Except for Mohan. Scott seemed scared, he wanted to turn around, but I told him to wait because Mohan had took off to the wall. I was so afraid that he was making too much noise! He walked over there and took one of the candles! We all whispered to him to take it back! But he didn't listen. He brought it to me, so we can see it. It was just a normal candle. Almost all the wall melted. He dropped it in the water. And suddenly, I can't remember if we heard something or what, but we were on a dead run, down the trail and to the trucks. We were all so scared and heavy breathing, I just couldn't believe it was real. What was that? Was it the devil worshipers that I heard of as rumors, while hanging out at the coffee shop? We went our separate ways and agreed to check it out the next day, while in day light.
The next day, Tara and Mohan couldn't skip class to go with us, so Scott, his friend Richard and I did. We drove over there during school, (we just made it a extended lunch) so that we can see everything in the daylight. Every looked different in the day, even the time walking on the trail took a short amount of time too. We walked to the ruins again, and the looked over the cliff at the end of the main trail, there were water falls there! Then we went to that freaky place, when we got there, the water was all gone. Just a bunch of old dried leaves. But there were no candles on the wall! The little building looked like a little grave thing, but there were no signs or words written anywhere. On the wall, we looked into the hole, and nothing inside it either. We did however find a little candle wax, but no candle holders. Strange, it was like they were stuck on the wall with wax. Rich laughed at us, while we told the story, in fact nobody hardly believed us at all. When we started walking back, there it was on the ground, the candle the Mohan had dropped.
So what do you think it was? I guess we are lucky we didn't find out, no matter, somebody had been there, and if so, how many were there? What if I went alone? I guess these questions will always go unanswered.
