In Korea there is a
small Christian farming community in the deeply
wooded areas. There, my friends who are "tough
guys" -- one was a drug dealer and others were
gang members from LA -- had their terrifying
experience.
While I was in
service at around 11:00pm, they were on a path that
was heavily wooded and dark. This path had a history
of being haunted. When the church community first
moved in they had several occurrences which prompted
the pastor -- a world famous pastor -- to perform an
"exorcist" on the mountain. Since then
there were no more incidents, at least not until my
friends had their experience. Maybe it was a lack of
faith in God.
They were sitting
about 100 yards into the path. They were just talking
and loafing there when they heard rustlings in the
bushes. They stopped at whatever they were doing and
were wondering what that was. They were at first
worried it might be one of the leaders that had
caught them. So they called out to see who it was and
they got no reply. They figured it was some kind of
animal. They continued talking when all of a sudden
they heard an evil wicked laughter. The sound started
from behind them but slowly became louder and louder
that it sounded as if it was all over them now. When
they heard this they were scared and started running.
They were all in such close proximity to one another
that they started tripping over each other. But they
got up and just continued running. One of them looked
back and blurted, "WHO THE HELL IS THAT?"
But he just turned back and ran as fast as he could.
When I saw them, they
were gasping for air and looked terrified. I asked
them what had happened and they told me the above. So
I asked the guy whom he had seen and he said he saw a
man in really old traditional Korean clothes (this is
all white clothes with a black hat) chasing after
them. Although it was so dark, the man's face seemed
to glow by itself and he could see the wicked smile
the man had on his face.
So the next day we
went up to the trail in broad daylight and we found
out some things we did not know before. There was a
400 year-old graveyard less than 5 feet off the
trail. One guy that lived there was sceptical about
their story and said it was probably some locals
playing tricks on them. He said that the trail leads
on another 200 yards or so to another part of the
community. However, later we got to the part of the
trail where the people from the village would have to
walk through to get to where the guys were the
previous day.
We found something
very peculiar there. Not only must the pranksters, if
they were after all playing tricks on my friends, had
to walk through the trail in pitch black darkness to
get there and not make any noise, there were also
spider webs all over the place. This by itself is not
the eerie part. The strange thing was if someone did
walk through that trail less than 12 hours ago there
should not be any spider webs, unless they could see
the spider webs in the total darkness and avoided all
of them. Nonetheless, this is very unlikely. Hence,
no one came from behind and no one could have come
from the front because they would have seen him when
they escaped. The guys could not bear to think what
might happened to them if they had not run faster
than they did on the night before.
