Angel of Light (A Zak Bagans Story)

Chapter 128: The Apparition

Author's Note: Phew...I know guys, been a long time. In the last note I posted, I mentioned how stressful things had been over the holidays with my dog tearing his ACL, and it having been a year since my grandfather's passing. Well, things got worse as February came along.

Thankfully, our dog is healing well. However, my last living grandparent, my father's mother, passed away on February 5th during a medical procedure. She hadn't been in good health for a while, and this procedure (on her heart) was supposed to help improve the quality of whatever remaining life she had left. She had been tested in various ways and soctors cleared her for the surgery. Without getting into all the details, her heart was in worse shape than they thought. Their was a complication during surgery and she didn't make it.

So, in just over a year and a few days, I've lost my last two remaining grandparents...it's been hell.

However, I recently started listening to my favourite music (Backstreet Boys), I'm one album behind, and their songs are helping my mood tremendously. I wrote these two chapters within the last 4 or 5 days, without much difficulty. I was going to write more, as I'm nearing the end of this part of the story, but decided to put these two up as it's been so long.

With all that said, enjoy the update!

Chapter 128: The Apparition

Meanwhile...

Aaron's Point of View

While Zak and I were investigating the pool room, I found myself distracted often by my thoughts of what had occurred before lockdown. Billy, Jay and I had accidentally heard a very private conversation between Zak and Alicia over walkie talkie.

I had to admit, I was shocked to hear that Alicia was a virgin. She's a beautiful, smart, and funny woman, but I knew that didn't really have much to do with it. It was obviously a decision she had made, and I respected her choice one hundred percent. I knew Billy and Jay would feel the same, but I knew Alicia was probably embarrassed, and also probably worried about what we thought of it all – even though it wasn't our business.

The "news" did however open my eyes to the fact that Zak must really like Alicia, after witnessing firsthand the type of women he went after in the past.

My thoughts were suddenly distracted by Zak's voice.

"Aaron...Aaron?" Zak asked, looking at me curiously. "Are you alright?" He added.

"Yeah, sorry bro," I replied, adjusting my camera and focused on Zak. "Just felt out of it for a minute," I added, hoping Zak would believe the excuse.

Whether he believed it or not, he nodded and then motioned for me to come closer.

"Let's head over to the other side of the pool," Zak said, and then turned and began walking around the end of the pool.

"Sure," I replied, checking my camera again to make sure it was focused on him properly, and then began following him.

"If there's any victims here, you were strangled...and you were killed by Herb, we'd like to try and help you," Zak spoke, as he made his way to the opposite side of the pool, and then walked up to the glass patio doors leading to the backyard.

"I wonder how many times he sat here and looked out this window at all the- and knowing what he just put in that forest, you know?" I said, as I filmed Zak looking out the patio doors. He had one hand up on the end of one patio door, while the other was resting on the glass.

After a few seconds of silence, Zak spoke.

"Herb would take the bodies right through this door, and drag em, out, right there," Zak said, and tapped lightly on the glass as he pointed at the trees in the backyard. "To the woods," Zak added.
