Thanks to Aussie_Ants for giving me the idea to post this... http://www.ubersite.com/m/88406
The area around Beaver Creek State Park is notorious for all it's many hauntings. From The Blue Lady to Esther's House, from Gretchen's Lock to the ghost of a gangster who was gunned down not far away, there are as many stories and legends as there are trees one would think. I've heard them all, every variation, from the time I was quite young and I can honestly say that the Park is one of the most... interesting... places I've ever been to.
But this tale does not involve any of the great legends of Columbiana County's biggest Park. No, this is something a bit different. Something I'm still not sure of.
Amber and I were heading out to the Park for some recreational sex. I was a junior in college and she was still living at home. We had to steal what time we could to be intimately together. Down by the Creek at night was one of our usual private picks. Everytime we went there, we had somewhat of a pattern before we would head to the far left of the Park. We would drive the whole length of the place, seeing who else was present each night, gauging our chances of discovery. It wasn't the rangers we were worried about so much, it was other individuals out for a midnight stroll.
On this particular night, as we drove down the steep Appalachian Mountain side, I glanced out of my right window, past Amber, and down through the tall evergreen trees. I could see the lights of a car on the road below us, heading back towards the right side of the Park. It was a dead end road that direction, but popular for young people for a myriad of reasons. I thought little of it, but decided to make sure to take that roads on a quick swing before heading to our spot.
We past the Ranger's Station and saw their trucks parked out front, lights illuminating the windows. All three vehicles were present, so we knew no one was out and about. Swinging right, we drove along side the old colonial village and the past the ancient covered bridge. The parking lot appeared and I took mental note that only two cars were parked there, right next to each other.
Amber and I took another right hand turn onto the dead end road.
Giant evergreen trees rocketed up high into the sky on our right, the underbrush often cleared away for various events and gatherings. To our left the Creek rushed high in the springtime, no more than one hundred feet from the car. In the distance straight ahead, I could make out the vehicle I had spied from the hills above.
But suddenly, we were upon it.
It was a late model mini-van, with that decorative fake wood siding. Perhaps a pale blue or a gray, it stood parked directly in the road. Headlights ablazing, I realized that both the passenger side sliding door was open as well as the driver's door was ajar. If I recall, I swore out loud, said something to Amber about how the occupants couldn't have pulled off into the grass for whatever reason. Obviously inconsiderate assholes who...
Then I began to see the occupants, appearing in the darkness.
Now, Amber and I have discussed this. We know there was somewhere between three to six figures. We were in a bit of a state of shock, not to mention it was difficult to see these strange people - They were all dressed in hooded black robes. Yes, hooded black robes that were rounded at the top and fell to their feet. A symbol of some kind appeared upon their hearts', perhaps in gold, but we could never truly remember. We were also almost positive they all had on black masks of some kind.
I believe at this point Amber and I exchanged glances and went "Uhhhh..." Of course, there was more to come. Just as I turned back to get another glimpse of this bizarre scene playing out before me, HE walked out.
He walked directly into my headlights, allowing the beams to fully illuminate him. His outfit matched that of his brethren, but he was clad in an outfit of crimson, and I remember there being gold trim about his person. His appearance sent the others into a flurry of activity. We're not entirely sure what they were doing, pulling things out of the van, putting things back in - something. But HE just stood there, no more than twenty, thirty feet away, starring directly at me. Then I distinctly remember him hurling something into the trees.
Okay, now had I been with my buddies, I would have put the car in park and got out. I was totally intrigued but this, completely in awe of their brazen attitude about being caught in the middle of, eh... whatever. I'll stand around and talk the shit with a crew of Satanists, Pagans, FanFarie, Cthulhians, whatever!!! But I had a slender, eighteen year old redhead girl beside me, obviously freaked the fuck out.
*sigh*
I threw the car in reverse, pulled around quickly and drove back to the parking lot. Upon seeing that both cars were still there, we slowed and compared mental notes of what we had just seen. Amber was as excited as she was frightened by the event, so it was decided to go grab some reinforcements. We sped off, back towards civilization to find our crew of friends.
Unfortunately, there really is no more to this tale. We got back into town, snagged about six hyped up friends and went back to find nothing. No trace what-so-ever of the cloaked people. Our story of "Red Guy and his Cult" spread fast, and although I kept an ear out, I never heard another word about it.
But I like to think that somewhere out there, perhaps near me or closer to you now, men and women in ceremonial garb are involved in things that we could never begin to imagine...

That would have been quite a sight. I would imagine that they were Frat boys or something.

i love ghosties. i got like a checklist for the summer for the state of ct and the lower half of new york, rhode island, and mass. plus i get to go to kentucky and st louis so i'm so doing the creepy places thing along the way.
hey that reminds me. anyone know of any haunted and creepy or beautiful places on the way to st louis. we're going from lower ct through west va, ky, and then scooping back up through missouri instead of straight across. not sure if we're going through jersey, va or penn yet but either way anyone got any pretty state parks, scenic drives, good diners and restaurants or creepy places i'd love it.

Yeah, it's callled, who fucking cares. No resolution, just "oooh creepy robe guys", I don't give two shits and an apple, I've dealt with worse. Next time, find out how many chickens they were sacrificing to that fake god they believe in.

1 - I am 5'11", 255lbs. Yes, I have a bit of a tummy, but everything else on me is large, too. I'm not some kind of gladiator or any shit, but the width of my shoulders is, like, 28" and I weight trained for years. I'm just a big dude, getting old...
2 - My ex and I were together for seven years, lived together for about four. We started dating so young, as we grew up, we drifted down different paths. Her and I are still quite close.
3 - If you actually read the post, nothing remotely "Mystical" happens. Now, the wack-o's in robes may have thought differently, but I never got to find out.

I got as far as a girl having "recreational" sex with you, and man that is a freaky thought I had to stop there, poor girl.
By the way why is it recreational, do you normally have sex with people who are doing it professionally, or for procreation?

Pretty good. I liked it.
It reminded me of The Shroud of the Thwacker. They were the Fancy Brigade.

Oh great _Lee of the Staggering kind....
I promise I'll get to your work at some point. I'm barely able to function at the moment, and I want to be clear-headed when I read your stuff. I'm on my 2nd pot of coffee in the last few hours. Things are starting to take on a funny look...
And I still have to wait for this damn canvas to dry. Fookin' Gesso!!!

On another note, I really like your fiction most of the time, and I'd like you to read something of mine and tell me what you think. Just pick something and go for it.

Yeah, the event itself wasn't so much "Scary" as it was, "What The Jebus!?"
Thought Amber was gonna piss herself, though. Hehehehe....

sorry kaos this didn't scare me for shit, it would have been scarier if you waited at the entrance to the park and every car came out except for the mini van, and it was never seen or something...
have you thought that maybe it was just scooby doo and the rest of the team in snow jackets?
