I will be the first to declare myself a skeptic, as a matter of fact, I am a
professional magician, specifically mentalism. I am not swayed by what I
see, in fact, I make money off of fooling people. I am not a scam artist in
any way, and I do not (outside of the stage) claim any paranormal abilities.
That said, I do live within five miles of Pinewoods, or Forest Park
Cemetery. I have lived in this house close to fourteen years, and I have
never seen a thing, felt a thing, or have had any unnatural goings on happen
in the time I have lived here. This is a new house (recently built), and we
are the first occupants.
Me and my friend were at my house studying in the basement. It was about ten
at night or so, give or take, and he says, "Dude, there is a black orb
floating down the stairs." I look up from my laptop and say, "Stop pounding
monsters, man." About three or four minutes later, I stretch out my muscles,
and I see something moving in the shadows in my Dad's woodshop. There are
two ways in there, and one is blocked off by a stack of wood for the
woodstove, which we use to heat our house. The other I was looking through,
there are no windows in that room nor access that I could not see. At that
instant me and my friend both feel chills, the temperature dropped 10
degrees, give or take, but the woodstove was still going strong. But it gets
better... at the very instant the temperature drops, we feel pain, in the
exact same place -- right at the kidneys. And our eyes started watering
inexplicably. It was like a switch -- it would start and stop. So we were a
little freaked out, but I being the braver (and arguably dumber of the two
of us) decided to talk to it. I asked a series of questions, like, Who are
you? Why are you here? But I asked where is your body, and pointed, and I
made a 360-degree turn and stopped when we started feeling pain again. I
pointed in the direction Pinewoods is from my house. I have no reason to
lie. That is what happened, and I would welcome anything anyone has to say.
