"I ain't afraid of no ghost."
The Dark Side of the Monastery
You guessed it- yet another night investigating the monastery. The appeal is that Katie and I have had the most experiences at this sight so why wouldn't we want to keep coming back?
In this particular instance, Katie had brought her brave younger sister along for the experience. As usual, we parked our car in the parking lot, shut it off, and rolled down the windows. This seemed to be quite the ritual for us! As every night does, it started off slow so we all got to talking about random topics. For some odd reason, I stared out at the dark woods and asked Katie and her sister if they were given a million dollars, would they run through those woods. Katie's sister exclaimed that she "totally would" because it was a million dollars! Katie, on the other hand, hates the dark and didn't think she could ever do it. I did not even have to think twice about my answer- I would never simply because I am more afraid of the people that could be in there. The three of us began talking about this controversy when, the next thing we know, we are sitting in darkness. It was PITCH black. We all stopped talking for a brief moment as Katie turned her car on and raced out of the monastery. I was in shock. Nearly all of the lights in the monastery had turned off, leaving us in total darkness and unable to see for a few seconds before Katie could turn her car on. It scared me to death, nonetheless, and we were in a state of total confusion. We have visited the monastery numerous times and not once have we had the lights turn off on us like that. I remember glancing at the clock and it read 10:13-such an odd time for the lights to be on a timer and to turn off. However, like I said, we had certainly been at the monastery before and the lights have never turned off. The craziest part about it is that we were actually having a serious discussion about the darkness and how afraid Katie and I were of it. Then the lights suddenly go out on us? I know that I always say this but it just seems like way too much of a coincidence...
