Angel of Light (A Zak Bagans Story)

Chapter 80: Done

Authors Note: For those wondering, I did up a timeline for the story. The amount of time that's passed is a bit longer than I thought. It's been roughly four and a half months, for anyone who cares. :)

Chapter 80: Done

Roughly ten minutes later...

After getting confirmation from Billy that I had been scratched, I took a bit of a "time out" to gather myself. I mainly just sat on the floor in the middle of the candles, waiting to see if anything else would happen to me, but nothing did. I also thought about how Zak was going to react to the news that I had come to the chapel by myself, and I had ended up getting scratched.

Oh god...I forgot to put his cross on tonight...I thought.

Damn.

Once I felt comfortable enough to continue, I picked up my camera from the floor, and then proceeded to walk around and start blowing out the candles one at a time. When I reached the last one, I turned my camera to record myself, with the lit candle glowing behind me.

"I'm going to blow out this last candle, and I'll be in complete darkness again...let's see if anything happens," I said, then turned and blew out the candle.

I walked a few careful steps forward, knowing roughly how far I had to go before I was in the middle of the candles again, and then stood completely still.

Silence.

"Is there-" I started to ask, but stopped when I heard footsteps. Very loud footsteps, as if someone was in the room with me. The sound was even echoing within the room!

"Who's there?" I asked, forcing myself to remain where I was.

The creepy, eerie feeling was starting to come back, but stronger this time around. I was positive someone, or something, was in the room with me. I held one hand out in front of me, mentally cursing myself for not having brought a Mel-Meter or a digital recorder. I was going to have to rely on my own feelings and instincts on this one.

"If there's someone here with me, come closer," I said.

I didn't pick up on any changes in temperature or energy, but I did hear a sound that caused me to jump. I spun around to look at the tomb that was behind me.

"Woah!" I exclaimed.

I had heard knocking sounds from inside the tomb.

Three knocking sounds.

Oh boy...what have I gotten myself into...?

Meanwhile...

Zak's Point of View

After some time had passed, I had decided to play a recording of several questions I had gotten Andrei to record in Romanian earlier, while holding a digital recorder in front of me, in hopes of getting some EVP's.

Ugh...Andrei...she had no problem kissing him... I thought, thinking of Alicia.

Before we had started our investigation of the Hoia Baicu Forest, we had interviewed several locals with Andrei's help. When we had finished and were bidding him farewell for the night, Alicia had given him a friendly kiss on the cheek. It had made me jealous as hell.

She's kissed you on the cheek dude, relax, I thought again, trying to rationalize with myself.

Wrong time and wrong place for this.

After I had played through the recording, I had then decided to use a Spirit Box - an audio-only device that rapidly scans through multiple audio channels, which ghosts can manipulate to say a word or phrase in real time - and ask some questions myself.
