"What do you mean you can't come? You're supposed to bring all the food!" I said to Liam, who was on the other end of the phone.
"I know, I know. It's just I'm having some problems, Em. Just ask Braden to get the food."
"Fine!" I sighed and hung up the phone. Liam was the one who planned this entire camping trip. He was the one who did the research on the Black Briar Ghost. Now he's not coming. Oh well!
I sighed and went to the living room. "Liam's not able to make it, so we'll have to get the food." I said to Braden, who was lying on the couch.
"That's fine we'll get it tomorrow." he replied.
Braden and I got into the van loaded with supplies. We were on our way to pick up the others.

"Come on, Ari. It's not that bad. We don't even know if it's true." Devon said trying to pull Ari out the door. She finally caved in and got in the car. After a very, very long drive, we find a good spot to set up at. Braden and Devon start unloading the van, while Ari and I clear the spot where the tent is going to be.

By the time we were set up it was about 10:30 at night. "I'm fr-freezing." Ari complained. You could see her breath as she spoke, and she was sitting in front of the fire. I nodded in agreement. We all got up and headed into the tent for the equipment.

I turned on the camera,"Okay, so it's about eleven at night and it's our first attempt at finding the Black Briar Ghost. So far it's been horrible. It feels like it's negative 30 degrees out here." I closed the flip screen and continued walking.

We hear coyotes howling in the background, and we can't even see three feet in front of us because of all the fog. We keep walking and walking until we come across this worn down house, which was rumored to house the Black Briar Ghost. We walk in and everything seems to be set up like it was before it was abandoned. Ari,Devon,Braden, and I break off into groups of two; Ari and Devon in one, Braden and I in another. We decide to take the bedrooms. "Okay so here we are in the master bedroom of the 'haunted house'." I say to the camera. All of a sudden the lights flash. I turn around to ask Braden if he saw it too but he was missing. I hear laughter behind me. When I turn around there was nothing there. I cautiously walk into the main bathroom and there's Braden face down in the bathtub full of blood. I drop the camera and run to his side but it's no use, he's gone. I slowly back out of the bathroom grabbing the camera on the way.

I turn around and I'm faced with the scariest thing ever. She was pale, and transparent; her black hair blowing in a non-existent wind; she had no eyes just black craters; her neck had bruises on it; the dress she wore was black and Victorian like, also blowing in a wind that didn't exist. She opened her mouth as if to scream but nothing came out. She ran towards me, her dirty hands reached for my neck. I ran. I ran through the house looking for Ari and Devon but there was no sign of them anywhere. I ran into one of the smaller bedrooms and locked the door behind me, thinking that I lost her I sat down on the bed. Suddenly I feel something wet drip on my shoulder, I look up only to see Ari pinned to the ceiling with shards of glass. I scream and run into the closet.

My hands shaking, I slowly open the door. There she is sitting in the same spot I was just a few minutes ago. She looks straight into my eyes and I don't feel anything but the darkness surrounding me.

May, 2 1998 the police find the four friends in the abandoned house. Two males drowned in the bathtubs, a female pinned to the ceiling, and another female who was hanged in the closet with a make shift noose.
